NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Romans 15

Self-denial on Behalf of Others

1

Nowg1161 we who are strongg1415 oughtg3784 to bearg941 the weaknessesg771 of  athoseg3588 withoutg102 strengthg102 and not just pleaseg700 ourselvesg1438.

2

Eachg1538 of us is to  apleaseg700 his neighborg4139  1for his goodg18, to his  bedificationg3619.

3

For eveng2532  aChristg5547 did not pleaseg700 Himselfg1438; but as it is writteng1125, " bTHE REPROACHESg3680 OF THOSEg3588 WHO REPROACHEDg3679 YOU FELLg1968 ON ME."

4

For  awhateverg3745 was writteng4270 in earlierg4270 timesg4270 was writteng1125 for our instructiong1319, sog2443 that throughg1223 perseveranceg5281 and the encouragementg3874 of the Scripturesg1124 we might haveg2192 hopeg1680.

5

Nowg1161 may the  aGodg2316  1who givesg1325 perseveranceg5281 and encouragementg3874 grantg1325 you  bto be of the sameg846 mindg5426 with oneg240 anotherg240 accordingg2596 to Christg5547 Jesusg2424,

6

sog2443 that with oneg3661 accordg3661 you may with oneg1520  1voiceg4750 glorifyg1392  athe Godg2316 and Fatherg3962 of our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547.

7

Thereforeg1352,  aacceptg4355 oneg240 anotherg240, justg2531a as Christg5547 alsog2532 acceptedg4355  1us to the gloryg1391 of Godg2316.

8

For I sayg3004 that Christg5547 has becomeg1096 a servantg1249 to  athe circumcisiong4061 on behalfg5228 of the truthg225 of Godg2316 to confirmg950  bthe promisesg1860 given to the fathersg3962,

9

and for  athe Gentilesg1484 to  bglorifyg1392 Godg2316 for His mercyg1656; as it is writteng1125, " cTHEREFOREg1223g3778 I WILL  1GIVEg1843 PRAISEg1843 TO YOU AMONGg1722 THE GENTILESg1484, AND I WILL SINGg5567 TO YOUR NAMEg3686."

10

Againg3825 he saysg3004, " aREJOICEg2165, O GENTILESg1484, WITH HIS PEOPLEg2992."

11

And againg3825, " aPRAISEg134 THE LORDg2962 ALLg3956 YOU GENTILESg1484, AND LET ALLg3956 THE PEOPLESg2992 PRAISEg1867 HIM."

12

Againg3825 Isaiahg2268 saysg3004, " aTHERE SHALL COMEg1510  bTHE ROOTg4491 OF JESSEg2421, AND HE WHO ARISESg450 TO RULEg757 OVER THE GENTILESg1484,  cIN HIM SHALL THE GENTILESg1484 HOPEg1679."

13

Nowg1161 may the Godg2316 of hopeg1680 fillg4137 you with allg3956  ajoyg5479 and peaceg1515 in believingg4100, sog1519 that you will aboundg4052 in hopeg1680  bby the powerg1411 of the Holyg40 Spiritg4151.

14

And concerningg4012 you, my brethreng80, I myselfg846 alsog2532 am convincedg3982 that you yourselvesg846 are fullg3324 of  agoodnessg19b, filledg4137 with  ballg3956 knowledgeg1108 and ableg1410 alsog2532 to admonishg3560 oneg240 anotherg240.

15

But I have writteng1125 veryg5112 boldlyg5112 to you on someg3313 pointsg3313 sog5613 as to remindg1878 you againg1878, becauseg1223 of  athe graceg5485 that was giveng1325 me  1from Godg2316,

16

to be  aa ministerg3011 of Christg5547 Jesusg2424 to the Gentilesg1484, ministeringg2418 as a priestg2418 the  bgospelg2098 of Godg2316, sog2443 that my  cofferingg4376 of the Gentilesg1484 may becomeg1096 acceptableg2144, sanctifiedg37 by the Holyg40 Spiritg4151.

17

Thereforeg3767 in Christg5547 Jesusg2424 I haveg2192 found  areasong2746a for boastingg2746a in  bthings pertainingg4314 to Godg2316.

18

For I will not presumeg5111 to speakg2980 of anythingg5100  1exceptg3756 whatg3739  aChristg5547 has accomplishedg2716 throughg1223 me,  2resultingg1519 in the obedienceg5218 of the Gentilesg1484 by wordg3056 and deedg2041,

19

in the powerg1411 of  1 asignsg4592 and wondersg5059,  bin the powerg1411 of the Spiritg4151; sog5620 that  cfrom Jerusalemg2419 and roundg2945 aboutg2945 as  dfarg3360 as Illyricumg2437 I have  2fullyg4137 preachedg4137 the gospelg2098 of Christg5547.

20

And thusg3779 I aspiredg5389 to  apreachg2097 the gospelg2097, not whereg3699 Christg5547 was already namedg3687,  bsog2443 that I would not buildg3618 on anotherg245 man'sg245 foundationg2310b;

21

but as it is writteng1125, " aTHEY WHOg3739 HADg312 NOg3756 NEWSg312 OF HIM SHALL SEEg3708, AND THEY WHO HAVE NOT HEARDg191 SHALL UNDERSTANDg4920."

22

For thisg1352 reasong1352  aI have ofteng4183 been preventedg1465 from comingg2064 to you;

23

but nowg3570, with nog3371 furtherg3371 placeg5117 for me in theseg3778 regionsg2824, and since I  ahave hadg2192 for manyg2425 yearsg2094 a longingg1974 to comeg2064 to you

24

wheneverg5613g1437 I  agog4198 to Spaing4681--for I hopeg1679 to seeg2300 you in passingg1279, and to be  bhelpedg4311 on my wayg4311 thereg1563 by you, when I have firstg4413  cenjoyedg1705a your company  1for a whileg3313--

25

but nowg3570,  aI am goingg4198 to Jerusalemg2419  bservingg1247 the  1saintsg40.

26

For  aMacedoniag3109 and  bAchaiag882 have beeng2106 pleasedg2106 to makeg4160 a contributiong2842 for the poorg4434 among the  1saintsg40 in Jerusalemg2419.

27

Yesg1063, they were pleasedg2106 to do so, and they are indebtedg3781 to them. For  aifg1487 the Gentilesg1484 have sharedg2841 in their spiritualg4152 thingsg4152, they are indebtedg3784 to ministerg3008 to them alsog2532 in materialg4559 thingsg4559.

28

Thereforeg3767, when I have finishedg2005 thisg3778, and  ahave  1putg4972 my sealg4972 on thisg3778 fruitg2590 of theirsg846, I will  bgog565 on by wayg1223 of you to Spaing4681.

29

I knowg3609a that when  aI comeg2064 to you, I will comeg2064 in the fullnessg4138 of the blessingg2129 of Christg5547.

30

Nowg1161 I urgeg3870 you, brethreng80, by our Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 Christg5547 and by  athe loveg26 of the Spiritg4151, to  bstriveg4865 togetherg4865 with me in your prayersg4335 to Godg2316 for me,

31

that I may be  arescuedg4506 from thoseg3588 who are disobedientg544 in Judeag2453, and that my  bserviceg1248 for Jerusalemg2419 may proveg1096 acceptableg2144 to the  1 csaintsg40;

32

sog2443 that  aI may comeg2064 to you in joyg5479 by  bthe willg2307 of Godg2316 and findg4875 refreshing restg4875 in your company.

33

Nowg1161  athe Godg2316 of peaceg1515 be with you allg3956. Ameng281.
