Romans 15
King James Version
15 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

Compiacere al prossimo
15 (A)Or noi, che siamo forti, dobbiamo sopportare le debolezze dei deboli e non compiacere a noi stessi. 2 Ciascuno di noi compiaccia al prossimo, nel bene, a scopo di edificazione. 3 Infatti anche Cristo non compiacque a se stesso; ma come è scritto:
«Gli insulti di quelli che ti oltraggiano sono caduti sopra di me»[a].
4 Poiché tutto ciò che fu scritto nel passato, fu scritto per nostra istruzione, affinché, mediante la pazienza e la consolazione che ci provengono dalle Scritture, conserviamo la speranza.
5 Il Dio della pazienza e della consolazione vi conceda di avere tra di voi un medesimo sentimento secondo Cristo Gesù, 6 affinché di un solo animo e di una stessa bocca glorifichiate il Dio e Padre del nostro Signore Gesù Cristo. 7 Perciò accoglietevi gli uni gli altri, come anche Cristo vi ha accolti[b] per la gloria di Dio.
La buona novella è per tutti gli uomini
8 (B)Infatti io dico che Cristo è diventato servitore dei circoncisi a dimostrazione della veracità di Dio per confermare le promesse fatte ai padri; 9 mentre gli stranieri onorano Dio per la sua misericordia, come sta scritto:
«Per questo ti celebrerò tra le nazioni e canterò le lodi al tuo nome»[c].
10 E ancora: «Rallegratevi, o nazioni, con il suo popolo»[d].
11 E altrove: «Nazioni, lodate tutte il Signore; tutti i popoli lo celebrino»[e].
12 Di nuovo Isaia dice: «Spunterà la radice di Isai, colui che sorgerà a governare le nazioni; in lui spereranno le nazioni»[f].
13 Or il Dio della speranza vi riempia di ogni gioia e di ogni pace nella fede, affinché abbondiate nella speranza, per la potenza dello Spirito Santo.
Riflessioni di Paolo sul suo apostolato; i viaggi che l’apostolo intende fare
14 (C)Ora, fratelli miei, io pure sono persuaso, a vostro riguardo, che anche voi siete pieni di bontà, ricolmi di ogni conoscenza, capaci anche di ammonirvi a vicenda[g]. 15 Ma [, fratelli,] vi ho scritto un po’ arditamente su alcuni punti, per ricordarveli di nuovo, a motivo della grazia che mi è stata fatta da Dio, 16 di essere un ministro di Cristo Gesù tra gli stranieri, esercitando il sacro servizio del vangelo di Dio, affinché gli stranieri diventino un’offerta gradita, santificata dallo Spirito Santo.
17 Ho dunque di che vantarmi in Cristo Gesù, per quel che concerne le cose di Dio. 18 Non oserei infatti parlare di cose che Cristo non avesse operato per mio mezzo[h] allo scopo di condurre i pagani all’ubbidienza, con parole e opere, 19 con la potenza di segni e di prodigi, con la potenza dello Spirito {di Dio}. Così da Gerusalemme e dintorni fino all’Illiria ho predicato dappertutto il vangelo di Cristo, 20 avendo l’ambizione di predicare il vangelo là dove non era ancora stato portato il nome di Cristo, per non costruire sul fondamento altrui, 21 ma com’è scritto:
«Coloro ai quali nulla era stato annunciato di lui, lo vedranno; e coloro che non ne avevano udito parlare, comprenderanno»[i].
22 (D)Per questa ragione appunto sono stato tante volte impedito di venire da voi; 23 ma ora, non avendo più campo d’azione in queste regioni, e avendo già da molti anni un gran desiderio di venire da voi, 24 quando andrò in Spagna [verrò da voi;] spero, passando, di vedervi e di essere aiutato da voi a raggiungere quella regione, dopo aver goduto almeno un po’ della vostra compagnia.
25 Per ora vado a Gerusalemme a rendere un servizio ai santi, 26 perché la Macedonia e l’Acaia si sono compiaciute di fare una colletta per i poveri che sono tra i santi di Gerusalemme. 27 Si sono compiaciute, ma esse sono anche in debito nei loro confronti; infatti, se gli stranieri sono stati fatti partecipi dei loro beni spirituali, sono anche in obbligo di aiutarli con i beni materiali. 28 Quando dunque avrò compiuto questo servizio e consegnato[j] il frutto di questa colletta, andrò in Spagna passando da voi; 29 e so che, venendo da voi, verrò con la pienezza delle benedizioni [del vangelo] di Cristo.
30 Ora {, fratelli,} vi esorto, per il Signore nostro Gesù Cristo e per l’amore dello Spirito, a combattere con me nelle preghiere che rivolgete a Dio in mio favore, 31 perché io sia liberato dagli increduli di Giudea, e il mio servizio per Gerusalemme sia gradito ai santi, 32 in modo che, se piace a Dio, io possa venire da voi con gioia ed essere confortato insieme con voi. 33 Or il Dio della pace sia con tutti voi. Amen.

Romans 15
New International Version
15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C) 3 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) 4 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.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(H) the God and Father(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Accept one another,(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b](K) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(L) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(M) might glorify God(N) for his mercy. As it is written:
10 Again, it says,
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse(R) will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f](S)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(T) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(U)
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,(V) filled with knowledge(W) and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me(X) 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.(Y) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,(Z) so that the Gentiles might become an offering(AA) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus(AB) in my service to God.(AC) 18 I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles(AD) to obey God(AE) by what I have said and done— 19 by the power of signs and wonders,(AF) through the power of the Spirit of God.(AG) So from Jerusalem(AH) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.(AI) 20 It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel(AJ) where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.(AK) 21 Rather, as it is written:
22 This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.(AM)
Paul’s Plan to Visit Rome
23 But now that there is no more place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for many years to visit you,(AN) 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.(AO) I hope to see you while passing through and to have you assist(AP) me on my journey there, after I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem(AQ) in the service(AR) of the Lord’s people(AS) there. 26 For Macedonia(AT) and Achaia(AU) were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the Lord’s people in Jerusalem.(AV) 27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews’ spiritual blessings, they owe it to the Jews to share with them their material blessings.(AW) 28 So after I have completed this task and have made sure that they have received this contribution, I will go to Spain(AX) and visit you on the way. 29 I know that when I come to you,(AY) I will come in the full measure of the blessing of Christ.
30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit,(AZ) to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.(BA) 31 Pray that I may be kept safe(BB) from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution(BC) I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people(BD) there, 32 so that I may come to you(BE) with joy, by God’s will,(BF) and in your company be refreshed.(BG) 33 The God of peace(BH) be with you all. Amen.
