Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength and not just please ourselves.
2
Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.
3
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."
4
For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
5
Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,
