Romans 15:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

3 For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

4 For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
