Romans 15:1-7

International Children’s Bible

15 We who are strong in faith should help those who are weak. We should help them with their weaknesses, and not please only ourselves. ² Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to help him be stronger in faith. ³ Even Christ did not live to please himself. It was as the Scriptures said: “When people insult you, it hurts me.”^{[a] 4} Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that we could have hope. That hope comes from the patience and encouragement that the Scriptures give us. ⁵ Patience and encouragement come from God. And I pray that God will help you all agree with each other the way Christ Jesus wants. ⁶ Then you will all be joined together, and you will give glory to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁷ Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other. This will bring glory to God.
