1 We then who are strong ought to bear with the
scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to 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 things were written before
were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort
of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now may the
God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another,
according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with
one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
