Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
The infirmity and frailness of the weak should be borne with all love and kindness, after the example of Christ.
15 We who are strong ought to bear the frailness of those who are weak, and not to stand in our own understanding. 2 Let everyone please his neighbour for his wellbeing and encouragement. 3 Christ did not please himself, but, as it is written: The rebukes of those who rebuked you, fell on me. 4 The things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, so that we, through patience and comfort from the scripture, might have hope.
5 May the God of patience and consolation grant to every one of you to have such a mind towards one another, after the example of Christ Jesus, 6 in order that you all, in harmony together, may with one mouth praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus.
