| Romans 15:1 | Now we that are stronger, ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. | We who are strong have to be a support to the feeble, and not give pleasure to ourselves. | As for us who are strong, our duty is to bear with the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not seek our own pleasure. |
| Romans 15:2 | Let every one of you please his neighbour unto good, to edification. | Let every one of us give pleasure to his neighbour for his good, to make him strong. | Let each of us endeavour to please his fellow Christian, aiming at a blessing calculated to build him up. |
| Romans 15:3 | For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee, fell upon me. | For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me. | For even the Christ did not seek His own pleasure. His principle was, "The reproaches which they addressed to Thee have fallen on me." |
| Romans 15:4 | For what things soever were written, were written for our learning: that through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope. | Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope. | For all that was written of old has been written for our instruction, so that we may always have hope through the power of endurance and the encouragement which the Scriptures afford. |
| Romans 15:5 | Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of one mind one towards another, according to Jesus Christ: | Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus: | And may God, the giver of power of endurance and of that encouragement, grant you to be in full sympathy with one another in accordance with the example of Christ Jesus, |
| Romans 15:6 | That with one mind, and with one mouth, you may glorify God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. | So that with one mouth you may give glory to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. | so that with oneness both of heart and voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| Romans 15:7 | Wherefore receive one another, as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God. | So then, take one another to your hearts, as Christ took us, to the glory of God. | Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God. |
| Romans 15:8 | For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers. | Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision to give effect to the undertakings given by God to the fathers, | My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers |
| Romans 15:9 | But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and will sing to thy name. | And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name. | and that the Gentiles also have glorified God in acknowledgment of His mercy. So it is written, "For this reason I will praise Thee among the Gentiles, and sing psalms in honour of Thy name." |
| Romans 15:10 | And again he saith: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. | And again he says, Take part, you Gentiles, in the joy of his people. | And again the Psalmist says, "Be glad, ye Gentiles, in company with His People." |
| Romans 15:11 | And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and magnify him, all ye people. | And again, Give praise to the Lord, all you Gentiles; and let all the nations give praise to him. | And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and let all the people extol Him." |
| Romans 15:12 | And again Isaias saith: There shall be a root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope. | And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope. | And again Isaiah says, "There shall be the Root of Jesse and One who rises up to rule the Gentiles. On Him shall the Gentiles build their hopes." |
| Romans 15:13 | Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the power of the Holy Ghost. | Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit. | May God, the giver of hope, fill you with continual joy and peace because you trust in Him so that you may have abundant hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. |
| Romans 15:14 | And I myself also, my brethren, am assured of you, that you also are full of love, replenished with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another. | And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another. | But as to you, brethren, I am convinced yes, I Paul am convinced that, even apart from my teaching, you are already full of goodness of heart, and enriched with complete Christian knowledge, and are also competent to instruct one another. |
| Romans 15:15 | But I have written to you, brethren, more boldly in some sort, as it were putting you in mind: because of the grace which is given me from God. | But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God, | But I write to you the more boldly partly as reminding you of what you already know because of the authority graciously entrusted to me by God, |
| Romans 15:16 | That I should be the minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles; sanctifying the gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost. | To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit. | that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, doing priestly duties in connexion with God's Good News so that the sacrifice namely the Gentiles may be acceptable to Him, being (as it is) an offering which the Holy Spirit has made holy. |
| Romans 15:17 | I have therefore glory in Christ Jesus towards God. | So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's. | I can therefore glory in Christ Jesus concerning the work for God in which I am engaged. |
| Romans 15:18 | For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, | And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act, | For I will not presume to mention any of the results that Christ has brought about by other agency than mine in securing the obedience of the Gentiles by word or deed, |
| Romans 15:19 | By the virtue of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem round about as far as unto Illyricum, I have replenished the gospel of Christ. | By signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and round about as far as Illyricum I have given all the good news of Christ; | with power manifested in signs and marvels, and through the power of the Holy Spirit. But to speak simply of my own labours beginning in Jerusalem and the outlying districts, I have proclaimed without reserve, even as far as Illyricum, the Good News of the Christ; |
| Romans 15:20 | And I have so preached this gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation. | Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others; | making it my ambition, however, not to tell the Good News where Christ's name was already known, for fear I should be building on another man's foundation. |
| Romans 15:21 | But as it is written: They to whom he was not spoken of, shall see, and they that have not heard shall understand. | But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge. | But, as Scripture says, "Those shall see, to whom no report about Him has hitherto come, and those who until now have not heard shall understand." |
| Romans 15:22 | For which cause also I was hindered very much from coming to you, and have been kept away till now. | For which reason I was frequently kept from coming to you: | And it is really this which has again and again prevented my coming to you. |
| Romans 15:23 | But now having no more place in these countries, and having a great desire these many years past to come unto you, | But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you, | But now, as there is no more unoccupied ground in this part of the world, and I have for years past been eager to pay you a visit, |
| Romans 15:24 | When I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought on my way thither by you, if first, in part, I shall have enjoyed you: | Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company) | I hope, as soon as ever I extend my travels into Spain, to see you on my way and be helped forward by you on my journey, when I have first enjoyed being with you for a time. |
| Romans 15:25 | But now I shall go to Jerusalem, to minister unto the saints. | But now I go to Jerusalem, taking help for the saints. | But at present I am going to Jerusalem to serve God's people, |
| Romans 15:26 | For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem. | For it has been the good pleasure of those of Macedonia and Achaia to send a certain amount of money for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. | for Macedonia and Greece have kindly contributed a certain sum in relief of the poor among God's people, in Jerusalem. |
| Romans 15:27 | For it hath pleased them; and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them. | Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh. | Yes, they have kindly done this, and, in fact, it was a debt they owed them. For seeing that the Gentiles have been admitted in to partnership with the Jews in their spiritual blessings, they in turn are under an obligation to render sacred service to the Jews in temporal things. |
| Romans 15:28 | When therefore I shall have accomplished this, and consigned to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. | So when I have done this, and have given them this fruit of love, I will go on by you into Spain. | So after discharging this duty, and making sure that these kind gifts reach those for whom they are intended, I shall start for Spain, passing through Rome on my way there; |
| Romans 15:29 | And I know, that when I come to you, I shall come in the abundance of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. | And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ. | and I know that when I come to you it will be with a vast amount of blessing from Christ. |
| Romans 15:30 | I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God, | Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me; | But I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love which His Spirit inspires, to help me by wrestling in prayer to God on my behalf, |
| Romans 15:31 | That I may be delivered from the unbelievers that are in Judea, and that the oblation of my service may be acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints. | So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints; | asking that I may escape unhurt from those in Judaea who are disobedient, and that the service which I am going to Jerusalem to render may be well received by the Church there, |
| Romans 15:32 | That I may come to you with joy, by the will of God, and may be refreshed with you. | So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you. | in order that if God be willing I may come to you with a glad heart, and may enjoy a time of rest with you. |
| Romans 15:33 | Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen. | Now may the God of peace be with you all. So be it. | May God, who gives peace be with you all! Amen. |
