15 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up. For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”Psalm 69:9 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you,[a] to the glory of God.

  1. 15:7 TR reads “us” instead of “you”

15 Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying. 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.
