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.

7 Therefore areceive one another, just bas Christ also received us, to the glory of God.  
8 Now I say that aJesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, bto confirm the promises made to the fathers,  
9 and athat the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:
b“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name.”
