³⁵ In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak^(A) and not to please ourselves.

² Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.^(A)

⁸ If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”^[a](A) you are doing right.
