The Example of Christ
15 (A)We who are strong (B)have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 (C)Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For (D)Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, (E)“The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” 4 For (F)whatever was written in former days was written for our (G)instruction, that through endurance and through (H)the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you (I)to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify (J)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (K)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (L)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (M)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(N)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(O)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(P)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(Q)(R)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(S)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all (T)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 (U)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with (V)all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, (W)because of the grace given me by God 16 to be (X)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles (Y)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that (Z)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have (AA)reason to be proud of (AB)my work for God. 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except (AC)what Christ has accomplished through me (AD)to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed, 19 (AE)by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God—so that (AF)from Jerusalem and all the way around (AG)to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the gospel of Christ; 20 and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, (AH)lest I build on someone else's foundation, 21 but as it is written,
(AI)“Those who have never been told of him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand.”
Paul's Plan to Visit Rome
22 This is the reason why (AJ)I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and (AK)since I have longed for many years to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go (AL)to Spain, and (AM)to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 At present, however, (AN)I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. 26 For (AO)Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 For they were pleased to do it, and indeed (AP)they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material blessings. 28 When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected,[b] I will leave (AQ)for Spain by way of you. 29 I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing[c] of Christ.
30 I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by (AR)the love of the Spirit, (AS)to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 (AT)that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that (AU)my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 so that by God's will I may come to you with joy and (AV)be refreshed in your company. 33 May (AW)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

GOD’S WORD Translation
15 So those of us who have a strong ⌞faith⌟ must be patient with the weaknesses of those whose ⌞faith⌟ is not so strong. We must not think only of ourselves. 2 We should all be concerned about our neighbor and the good things that will build his faith. 3 Christ did not think only of himself. Rather, as Scripture says, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
God Gives Us Unity
4 Everything written long ago was written to teach us so that we would have confidence through the endurance and encouragement which the Scriptures give us. 5 May God, who gives you this endurance and encouragement, allow you to live in harmony with each other by following the example of Christ Jesus. 6 Then, having the same goal, you will praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Therefore, accept each other in the same way that Christ accepted you. He did this to bring glory to God. 8 Let me explain. Christ became a servant for the Jewish people to reveal God’s truth. As a result, he fulfilled God’s promise to the ancestors of the Jewish people. 9 People who are not Jewish praise God for his mercy as well. This is what the Scriptures say,
“That is why I will give thanks to you among the nations
and I will sing praises to your name.”
10 And Scripture says again,
“You nations, be happy together with his people!”
11 And again,
“Praise the Lord, all you nations!
Praise him, all you people of the world!”
12 Again, Isaiah says,
“There will be a root from Jesse.
He will rise to rule the nations,
and he will give the nations hope.”
13 May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Paul’s Desire to Tell the Good News to the World
14 I’m convinced, brothers and sisters, that you, too, are filled with goodness. I’m also convinced that you have all the knowledge you need and that you are able to instruct each other. 15 However, I’ve written you a letter, parts of which are rather bold, as a reminder to you. I’m doing this because God gave me the gift 16 to be a servant of Christ Jesus to people who are not Jewish. I serve as a priest by spreading the Good News of God. I do this in order that I might bring the nations to God as an acceptable offering, made holy by the Holy Spirit. 17 So Christ Jesus gives me the right to brag about what I’m doing for God. 18 I’m bold enough to tell you only what Christ has done through me to bring people who are not Jewish to obedience. By what I have said and done, 19 by the power of miraculous and amazing signs, and by the power of God’s Spirit, I have finished spreading the Good News about Christ from Jerusalem to Illyricum.
20 My goal was to spread the Good News where the name of Christ was not known. I didn’t want to build on a foundation which others had laid. 21 As Scripture says,
“Those who were never told about him will see,
and those who never heard will understand.”
22 This is what has so often kept me from visiting you. 23 But now I have no new opportunities for work in this region. For many years I have wanted to visit you. 24 Now I am on my way to Spain, so I hope to see you when I come your way. After I have enjoyed your company for a while, I hope that you will support my trip to Spain.
25 Right now I’m going to Jerusalem to bring help to the Christians there. 26 Because the believers in Macedonia and Greece owe a debt to the Christians in Jerusalem, they have decided to take up a collection for the poor among the Christians in Jerusalem. 27 These Macedonians and Greeks have shared the spiritual wealth of the Christians in Jerusalem. So they are obligated to use their earthly wealth to help them.
28 When the collection is completed and I have officially turned the money over to the Christians in Jerusalem, I will visit you on my way to Spain. 29 I know that when I come to you I will bring the full blessing of Christ.
30 Brothers and sisters, I encourage you through our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit creates, to join me in my struggle. Pray to God for me 31 that I will be rescued from those people in Judea who refuse to believe. Pray that God’s people in Jerusalem will accept the help I bring. 32 Also pray that by the will of God I may come to you with joy and be refreshed when I am with you.
33 May the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

15 Así que, los que somos fuertes debemos soportar las flaquezas de los débiles, y no agradarnos a nosotros mismos. 2 Cada uno de nosotros agrade a su prójimo en lo que es bueno, para edificación. 3 Porque ni aun Cristo se agradó a sí mismo; antes bien, como está escrito: Los vituperios de los que te vituperaban, cayeron sobre mí.(A) 4 Porque las cosas que se escribieron antes, para nuestra enseñanza se escribieron, a fin de que por la paciencia y la consolación de las Escrituras, tengamos esperanza. 5 Pero el Dios de la paciencia y de la consolación os dé entre vosotros un mismo sentir según Cristo Jesús, 6 para que unánimes, a una voz, glorifiquéis al Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
El evangelio a los gentiles
7 Por tanto, recibíos los unos a los otros, como también Cristo nos recibió, para gloria de Dios. 8 Pues os digo, que Cristo Jesús vino a ser siervo de la circuncisión para mostrar la verdad de Dios, para confirmar las promesas hechas a los padres, 9 y para que los gentiles glorifiquen a Dios por su misericordia, como está escrito:
Por tanto, yo te confesaré entre los gentiles,
Y cantaré a tu nombre.(B)
10 Y otra vez dice:
Alegraos, gentiles, con su pueblo.(C)
11 Y otra vez:
Alabad al Señor todos los gentiles,
Y magnificadle todos los pueblos.(D)
12 Y otra vez dice Isaías:
13 Y el Dios de esperanza os llene de todo gozo y paz en el creer, para que abundéis en esperanza por el poder del Espíritu Santo.
14 Pero estoy seguro de vosotros, hermanos míos, de que vosotros mismos estáis llenos de bondad, llenos de todo conocimiento, de tal manera que podéis amonestaros los unos a los otros. 15 Mas os he escrito, hermanos, en parte con atrevimiento, como para haceros recordar, por la gracia que de Dios me es dada 16 para ser ministro de Jesucristo a los gentiles, ministrando el evangelio de Dios, para que los gentiles le sean ofrenda agradable, santificada por el Espíritu Santo. 17 Tengo, pues, de qué gloriarme en Cristo Jesús en lo que a Dios se refiere. 18 Porque no osaría hablar sino de lo que Cristo ha hecho por medio de mí para la obediencia de los gentiles, con la palabra y con las obras, 19 con potencia de señales y prodigios, en el poder del Espíritu de Dios; de manera que desde Jerusalén, y por los alrededores hasta Ilírico, todo lo he llenado del evangelio de Cristo. 20 Y de esta manera me esforcé a predicar el evangelio, no donde Cristo ya hubiese sido nombrado, para no edificar sobre fundamento ajeno, 21 sino, como está escrito:
Aquellos a quienes nunca les fue anunciado acerca de él, verán;
Y los que nunca han oído de él, entenderán.(F)
Pablo se propone ir a Roma
22 Por esta causa me he visto impedido muchas veces de ir a vosotros.(G) 23 Pero ahora, no teniendo más campo en estas regiones, y deseando desde hace muchos años ir a vosotros, 24 cuando vaya a España, iré a vosotros; porque espero veros al pasar, y ser encaminado allá por vosotros, una vez que haya gozado con vosotros. 25 Mas ahora voy a Jerusalén para ministrar a los santos. 26 Porque Macedonia y Acaya tuvieron a bien hacer una ofrenda para los pobres que hay entre los santos que están en Jerusalén.(H) 27 Pues les pareció bueno, y son deudores a ellos; porque si los gentiles han sido hechos participantes de sus bienes espirituales, deben también ellos ministrarles de los materiales.(I) 28 Así que, cuando haya concluido esto, y les haya entregado este fruto, pasaré entre vosotros rumbo a España. 29 Y sé que cuando vaya a vosotros, llegaré con abundancia de la bendición del evangelio de Cristo.
30 Pero os ruego, hermanos, por nuestro Señor Jesucristo y por el amor del Espíritu, que me ayudéis orando por mí a Dios, 31 para que sea librado de los rebeldes que están en Judea, y que la ofrenda de mi servicio a los santos en Jerusalén sea acepta; 32 para que con gozo llegue a vosotros por la voluntad de Dios, y que sea recreado juntamente con vosotros. 33 Y el Dios de paz sea con todos vosotros. Amén.

15 Мы, сильные, должны сносить немощи бессильных и не себе угождать.
2 Каждый из нас должен угождать ближнему, во благо, к назиданию.
3 Ибо и Христос не Себе угождал, но, как написано: злословия злословящих Тебя пали на Меня.
4 А все, что писано было прежде, написано нам в наставление, чтобы мы терпением и утешением из Писаний сохраняли надежду.
5 Бог же терпения и утешения да дарует вам быть в единомыслии между собою, по [учению] Христа Иисуса,
6 дабы вы единодушно, едиными устами славили Бога и Отца Господа нашего Иисуса Христа.
7 Посему принимайте друг друга, как и Христос принял вас в славу Божию.
8 Разумею то, что Иисус Христос сделался служителем для обрезанных--ради истины Божией, чтобы исполнить обещанное отцам,
9 а для язычников--из милости, чтобы славили Бога, как написано: за то буду славить Тебя, (Господи,) между язычниками, и буду петь имени Твоему.
10 И еще сказано: возвеселитесь, язычники, с народом Его.
11 И еще: хвалите Господа, все язычники, и прославляйте Его, все народы.
12 Исаия также говорит: будет корень Иессеев, и восстанет владеть народами; на Него язычники надеяться будут.
13 Бог же надежды да исполнит вас всякой радости и мира в вере, дабы вы, силою Духа Святаго, обогатились надеждою.
14 И сам я уверен о вас, братия мои, что и вы полны благости, исполнены всякого познания и можете наставлять друг друга;
15 но писал вам, братия, с некоторою смелостью, отчасти как бы в напоминание вам, по данной мне от Бога благодати
16 быть служителем Иисуса Христа у язычников и [совершать] священнодействие благовествования Божия, дабы сие приношение язычников, будучи освящено Духом Святым, было благоприятно [Богу].
17 Итак я могу похвалиться в Иисусе Христе в том, что [относится] к Богу,
18 ибо не осмелюсь сказать что-нибудь такое, чего не совершил Христос через меня, в покорении язычников [вере], словом и делом,
19 силою знамений и чудес, силою Духа Божия, так что благовествование Христово распространено мною от Иерусалима и окрестности до Иллирика.
20 Притом я старался благовествовать не там, где [уже] было известно имя Христово, дабы не созидать на чужом основании,
21 но как написано: не имевшие о Нем известия увидят, и не слышавшие узнают.
22 Сие-то много раз и препятствовало мне придти к вам.
23 Ныне же, не имея [такого] места в сих странах, а с давних лет имея желание придти к вам,
24 как только предприму путь в Испанию, приду к вам. Ибо надеюсь, что, проходя, увижусь с вами и что вы проводите меня туда, как скоро наслажусь [общением] с вами, хотя отчасти.
25 А теперь я иду в Иерусалим, чтобы послужить святым,
26 ибо Македония и Ахаия усердствуют некоторым подаянием для бедных между святыми в Иерусалиме.
27 Усердствуют, да и должники они перед ними. Ибо если язычники сделались участниками в их духовном, то должны и им послужить в телесном.
28 Исполнив это и верно доставив им сей плод [усердия], я отправлюсь через ваши [места] в Испанию,
29 и уверен, что когда приду к вам, то приду с полным благословением благовествования Христова.
30 Между тем умоляю вас, братия, Господом нашим Иисусом Христом и любовью Духа, подвизаться со мною в молитвах за меня к Богу,
31 чтобы избавиться мне от неверующих в Иудее и чтобы служение мое для Иерусалима было благоприятно святым,
32 дабы мне в радости, если Богу угодно, придти к вам и успокоиться с вами.
33 Бог же мира да будет со всеми вами, аминь.
