Romarbrevet 15
Svenska Folkbibeln
Uppmaning till tålamod och endräkt
15 Vi som är starka är skyldiga att bära de svagas svagheter och inte tjäna oss själva. 2 Var och en av oss skall tjäna sin nästa, till hans bästa och hans uppbyggelse. 3 Kristus tjänade inte sig själv utan bar våra svagheter, så som det står skrivet:Dina smädares smädelser föll över mig.[a] 4 Ty allt som tidigare har skrivits är skrivet till vår undervisning, för att vi genom den uthållighet och tröst som Skrifterna ger skall bevara vårt hopp. 5 Och må uthållighetens och tröstens Gud hjälpa er att vara eniga efter Kristi Jesu vilja, 6 så att ni endräktigt med en mun prisar vår Herre Jesu Kristi Gud och Fader.
7 Ta därför emot varandra, så som Kristus har tagit emot er till Guds ära. 8 Vad jag vill säga är att Kristus har blivit de omskurnas tjänare för att visa att Gud är sannfärdig och bekräfta löftena till fäderna, 9 och att hedningarna har fått prisa Gud för hans barmhärtighet, som det står skrivet: Därför vill jag prisa dig bland hedningarna och lovsjunga ditt namn. [b] 10 Vidare heter det: Gläd er, ni hedningar, tillsammans med hans folk. [c] 11 Och på ett annat ställe: Lova Herren, alla hedningar, prisa honom, alla folk. [d] 12 Och vidare säger Jesaja: Ett skott av Isais rot, han som står upp för att regera över hedningarna, på honom skall hedningarna hoppas. [e] 13 Må hoppets Gud uppfylla er med all glädje och frid i tron, så att ni överflödar i hoppet genom den helige Andes kraft.
Apostelns uppdrag
14 När det gäller er, mina bröder, är jag för min del övertygad om att ni själva är fyllda av godhet och uppfyllda av all kunskap och att ni också kan förmana varandra. 15 Ändå har jag delvis skrivit ganska djärvt till er för att påminna er om ett och annat. Och detta i kraft av den nåd som jag har fått av Gud, 16 att jag skall vara Kristi Jesu tjänare bland hedningarna, en som i helig prästtjänst förvaltar Guds evangelium, så att hedningarna blir det offer som Gud tar emot, helgat genom den helige Ande.
17 Det är alltså i min tjänst inför Gud som jag kan berömma mig i Kristus Jesus. 18 Jag vågar inte tala om annat än det som Kristus har utfört genom mig för att hedningarna skulle föras till lydnad, genom ord och gärning, 19 genom kraften i tecken och under, genom Andens kraft. Så har jag från Jerusalem och runt omkring ända till Illyrien överallt predikat Kristi evangelium. 20 Jag har satt min ära i att inte förkunna evangelium där Kristi namn redan var känt. Jag ville inte bygga på en grund som någon annan hade lagt. 21 Jag handlade som det står skrivet: De som inte har fått budskapet om honom skall se, och de som inte har hört skall förstå. [f]
Apostelns resplaner
22 Det är därför som jag många gånger har varit förhindrad att komma till er. 23 Men nu har jag inte längre någon uppgift i dessa områden. Och då jag sedan många år har längtat efter att komma till er, 24 vill jag besöka er när jag reser till Spanien. Jag hoppas att på genomresan få träffa er och att ni utrustar mig för resan dit, sedan jag först en tid har haft glädjen att vara tillsammans med er.
25 Men nu far jag till Jerusalem med hjälpen till de heliga. 26 Makedonien och Akaja har nämligen beslutat att göra en insamling till de fattiga bland de heliga i Jerusalem. 27 Så har de beslutat, och de står också i skuld till dem. Ty om hedningarna har fått del av deras andliga goda, så är de också skyldiga att tjäna dem med sitt materiella goda. 28 När jag har fullgjort detta och på ett säkert sätt överlämnat denna gåva[g] till dem, skall jag resa till Spanien och besöka er på vägen. 29 Och jag vet att när jag kommer till er, så kommer jag med Kristi välsignelse i fullt mått.
30 Jag uppmanar er, bröder, för vår Herre Jesu Kristi skull och för den kärlek som Anden väcker, att kämpa tillsammans med mig genom att be till Gud för mig. 31 Be att jag blir räddad från dem i Judeen som inte tror och att den hjälp jag har med mig till Jerusalem blir väl mottagen av de heliga. 32 Då skall jag komma till er med glädje, om Gud vill, för att vila ut tillsammans med er. 33 Fridens Gud vare med er alla, amen.

Icelandic Bible
15 Skylt er oss, hinum styrku, að bera veikleika hinna óstyrku og hugsa ekki um sjálfa oss.
2 Sérhver af oss hugsi um náungann og það sem honum er gott og til uppbyggingar.
3 Kristur hugsaði ekki um sjálfan sig, heldur eins og ritað er: "Lastyrði þeirra, sem löstuðu þig, lentu á mér."
4 Allt það, sem áður er ritað, er ritað oss til uppfræðingar, til þess að vér fyrir þolgæði og huggun ritninganna héldum von vorri.
5 En Guð, sem veitir þolgæðið og huggunina, gefi yður að vera samhuga að vilja Krists Jesú,
6 til þess að þér allir saman einum munni vegsamið Guð og föður Drottins vors Jesú Krists.
7 Takið því hver annan að yður, eins og Kristur tók yður að sér, Guði til dýrðar.
8 Ég segi, að Kristur sé orðinn þjónn hinna umskornu til að sýna orðheldni Guðs, til þess að staðfesta fyrirheitin, sem feðrunum voru gefin,
9 en heiðingjarnir vegsami Guð sakir miskunnar hans, eins og ritað er: "Þess vegna skal ég játa þig meðal heiðingja og lofsyngja þínu nafni."
10 Og enn segir: "Fagnið, þér heiðingjar, með lýð hans,"
11 og enn: "Lofið Drottin, allar þjóðir, og vegsami hann allir lýðir,"
12 og enn segir Jesaja: "Koma mun rótarkvistur Ísaí og sá, er rís upp til að stjórna þjóðum, á hann munu þjóðir vona."
13 Guð vonarinnar fylli yður öllum fögnuði og friði í trúnni, svo að þér séuð auðugir að voninni í krafti heilags anda.
14 En ég er líka sjálfur sannfærður um yður, bræður mínir, að þér og sjálfir eruð fullir góðgirni, auðgaðir alls konar þekkingu og færir um að áminna hver annan.
15 En ég hef sums staðar ritað yður full djarflega, til þess að minna yður á sitthvað. Ég hef gjört það vegna þess að Guð hefur gefið mér þá náð
16 að vera helgiþjónn Krists Jesú hjá heiðingjunum og inna af hendi prestþjónustu við fagnaðarerindi Guðs, til þess að heiðingjarnir mættu verða Guði velþóknanleg fórn, helguð af heilögum anda.
17 Ég hef þá fyrir samfélag mitt við Krist Jesú það, sem ég get hrósað mér af: Starf mitt í þjónustu Guðs.
18 Ekki mun ég dirfast að tala um neitt annað en það, sem Kristur hefur látið mig framkvæma, til að leiða heiðingjana til hlýðni, með orði og verki,
19 með krafti tákna og undra, með krafti heilags anda. Þannig hef ég lokið við að flytja fagnaðarerindið um Krist frá Jerúsalem og allt í kring til Illyríu.
20 Það hefur þannig verið metnaður minn að láta fagnaðarerindið óboðað þar sem Kristur hafði áður nefndur verið, til þess að ég byggði ekki ofan á grundvelli annars,
21 alveg eins og ritað er: "Þeir skulu sjá, sem ekkert var um hann sagt, og þeir, sem ekki hafa heyrt, skulu skilja."
22 Því er það, að mér hefur hvað eftir annað verið meinað að koma til yðar.
23 En nú á ég ekki lengur neitt ógjört á þessum slóðum, og mig hefur auk þess í mörg ár langað til að koma til yðar,
24 þegar ég færi til Spánar. Ég vona, að ég fái að sjá yður, er ég fer um hjá yður, og að þér búið ferð mína þangað, er ég fyrst hef nokkurn veginn fengið nægju mína hjá yður.
25 En nú fer ég á leið til Jerúsalem til að flytja hinum heilögu hjálp.
26 Því að Makedónía og Akkea hafa ákveðið að gangast fyrir samskotum handa fátæklingum meðal hinna heilögu í Jerúsalem.
27 Sjálfir ákváðu þeir það, enda eru þeir í skuld við þá. Fyrst heiðingjarnir hafa fengið hlutdeild í andlegum gæðum þeirra, þá er þeim og skylt að fulltingja þeim í líkamlegum efnum.
28 En þegar ég hef lokið þessu og tryggilega afhent þeim þennan ávöxt, mun ég fara um hjá yður til Spánar.
29 En ég veit, að þegar ég kem til yðar, mun ég koma með blessun Krists í fullum mæli.
30 En mikillega bið ég yður, bræður, fyrir sakir Drottins vors Jesú Krists og fyrir sakir kærleika andans, að þér stríðið með mér með því að biðja til Guðs fyrir mér,
31 til þess að ég frelsist frá hinum vantrúuðu í Júdeu, og hjálpin, sem ég fer með til Jerúsalem, verði vel þegin af hinum heilögu.
32 Þá get ég, ef Guð lofar, komið til yðar með fögnuði og endurhresstst ásamt yður.
33 Guð friðarins sé með yður öllum. 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.

New King James Version
Bearing Others’ Burdens
15 We (A)then who are strong ought to bear with the [a]scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 (B)Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to [b]edification. 3 (C)For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, (D)“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” 4 For (E)whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the [c]patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 (F)Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may (G)with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Glorify God Together
7 Therefore (H)receive one another, just (I)as Christ also received [d]us, to the glory of God. 8 Now I say that (J)Jesus Christ has become a [e]servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, (K)to confirm the promises made to the fathers, 9 and (L)that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:
(M)“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name.”
10 And again he says:
(N)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”
11 And again:
(O)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!”
12 And again, Isaiah says:
(P)“There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all (Q)joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
From Jerusalem to Illyricum
14 Now (R)I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, (S)filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish [f]one another. 15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, (T)because of the grace given to me by God, 16 that (U)I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the (V)offering [g]of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus (W)in the things which pertain to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things (X)which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, (Y)to make the Gentiles obedient— 19 (Z)in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20 And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, (AA)lest I should build on another man’s foundation, 21 but as it is written:
(AB)“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
Plan to Visit Rome
22 For this reason (AC)I also have been much hindered from coming to you. 23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and (AD)having a great desire these many years to come to you, 24 whenever I journey to Spain, [h]I shall come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, (AE)and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may (AF)enjoy your company for a while. 25 But now (AG)I am going to Jerusalem to [i]minister to the saints. 26 For (AH)it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are in Jerusalem. 27 It pleased them indeed, and they are their debtors. For (AI)if the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, (AJ)their duty is also to minister to them in material things. 28 Therefore, when I have performed this and have sealed to them (AK)this fruit, I shall go by way of you to Spain. 29 (AL)But I know that when I come to you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing [j]of the gospel of Christ.
30 Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and (AM)through the love of the Spirit, (AN)that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me, 31 (AO)that I may be delivered from those in Judea who [k]do not believe, and that (AP)my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 (AQ)that I may come to you with joy (AR)by the will of God, and may (AS)be refreshed together with you. 33 Now (AT)the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
