Romans 15:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 15:3

Bearing Others’ Burdens

1 We ^athen who are strong ought to bear with the¹ scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 ^aLet each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to¹ edification.

3 ^aFor even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, ^b“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”

4 For ^awhatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the¹ patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

5 ^aNow may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

6 that you may ^awith one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
