15 But we firmer men owe to sustain the feeblenesses of frail men, and not please to ourselves.[a]

Each of us please to his neighbour in good [into good], to edification.

For Christ pleased not to himself, as it is written, The reproves of men despising thee, felled on me.[b]

For whatever things be written, those be written to our teaching [they be written to our teaching], that by patience and comfort of scriptures we have hope.

But God of patience and of solace give to you to understand the same thing, each into (the) other after Jesus Christ,

that ye of one will with one mouth worship God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For which thing take ye together, as also Christ took you into the honour of God.

  1. Romans 15:1 Forsooth we firmer owe to sustain, or bear up, the feebleness of sick men, or unfirm in faith, and not to please to ourselves.
  2. Romans 15:3 For why Christ pleased not to himself, but, as it is written, The reproves, or shames, of men displeasing thee, fell on me.

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C) For even Christ did not please himself(D) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a](E) For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,(F) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(H) the God and Father(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Accept one another,(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
