Sha'ul's Letter to the Romans, Chapter 15
{15:1} Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the
weak, and not to please ourselves. {15:2} Let each one of us please
his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up. {15:3} For
even Messiah didn't please himself. But, as it is written, "The
reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me." {15:4} For
whatever things were written before were written for our learning,
that through patience and through encouragement of the Scriptures we
might have hope. {15:5} Now the God of patience and of encouragement
grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Messiah
Yeshua, {15:6} that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the
God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
{15:7} Therefore receive one another, even as Messiah also received
you, to the glory of God. {15:8} Now I say that Messiah has been made
a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might
confirm the promises given to the fathers, {15:9} and that the Goyim
might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
"Therefore will I give praise to you among the Goyim,
And sing to your name."
{15:10} Again he says,
"Rejoice, you Goyim, with his people."
{15:11} Again,
"Praise the Lord, all you Goyim!
Let all the peoples praise him."
{15:12} Again, Yesha`yahu says,
"There will be the root of Yishai,
He who arises to rule over the Goyim;
On him will the Goyim hope."
{15:13} Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and shalom in
believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the [1>]Ruach
HaKodesh[<1]. {15:14} I myself am also persuaded about you, my
brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all
knowledge, able also to admonish others. {15:15} But I write the more
boldly to you in part, as reminding you, because of the grace that was
given to me by God, {15:16} that I should be a servant of Messiah
Yeshua to the Goyim, ministering as a [2>]Kohen[<2] the Good News of
God, that the offering up of the Goyim might be made acceptable,
sanctified by the [3>]Ruach HaKodesh[<3]. {15:17} I have therefore my
boasting in Messiah Yeshua in things pertaining to God. {15:18} For I
will not dare to speak of any things except those which Messiah worked
through me, for the obedience of the Goyim, by word and deed, {15:19}
in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God's Spirit; so
that from Yerushalayim, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have
fully preached the Good News of Messiah; {15:20} yes, making it my aim
to preach the Good News, not where Messiah was already named, that I
might not build on another's foundation. {15:21} But, as it is written,
"They will see, to whom no news of him came.
They who haven't heard will understand."
{15:22} Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming
to you, {15:23} but now, no longer having any place in these regions,
and having these many years a longing to come to you, {15:24} whenever
I journey to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my
journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy
your company for a while. {15:25} But now, I say, I am going to
Yerushalayim, serving the holy ones. {15:26} For it has been the good
pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for
the poor among the holy ones who are at Yerushalayim. {15:27} Yes, it
has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the
Goyim have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it
to them also to serve them in fleshly things. {15:28} When therefore I
have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go
on by way of you to Spain. {15:29} I know that, when I come to you, I
will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Messiah.
{15:30} Now I beg you, brothers, by our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and
by the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your
prayers to God for me, {15:31} that I may be delivered from those who
are disobedient in Yehudah, and that my service which I have for
Yerushalayim may be acceptable to the holy ones; {15:32} that I may
come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you,
find rest. {15:33} Now the God of shalom be with you all. Amein.
