15 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Let every one of us please his neighbor for his good to edification.

For even Christ pleased not Himself, but as it is written: “The reproaches of them that reproached Thee fell on Me.”

For whatsoever things were written in times past, were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus,

that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore receive ye one another as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, [a]The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through [b]patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope. Now the God of [c]patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus: that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify [d]the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received [e]you, to the glory of God.
