4 For what things soever have been written, to our learning they are written: that by the patience and consolation of the Scriptures, we may have hope.📜💬📚

5 And the God of patience and of comfort give you to be of one mind one toward another according to JESUS Christ:📜💬📚

6 that of one mind, with one mouth you may glorify God & the Father of our Lord JESUS Christ.📜💬📚

Christ the Servant of All

7 For the which cause receive one another; as Christ also hath received you unto the honour of God.📜💬📚

8 For I say Christ JESUS to have been minister of the circumcision for the verity of God to confirm the promises of the fathers.📜💬📚

9 But the Gentiles to honour God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee in the Gentiles o Lord, and will sing to thy name.📜💬📚

10 And again he saith: Rejoice ye Gentiles with his people.📜💬📚

11 And again: Praise, all ye Gentiles, our Lord; and magnify him all ye peoples.📜💬📚

12 And again Esaie saith: There shall be the root of Jesse; and he that shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, in him the Gentiles shall hope.📜💬📚

13 And the God of hope replenish you with all joy and peace in believing; that you may abound in hope, and in the virtue of the Holy Ghost.📜💬📚

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

14 And I my self 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.📜💬📚

15 But I have written to you (brethren) more boldly in part, as it were putting you in remembrance; for the grace which is given me of God,📜💬📚

16 to be the minister of Christ JESUS in the Gentiles: sanctifying the Gospel of God, that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and sanctified in the Holy Ghost.📜💬📚

17 I have therefore glory in Christ JESUS toward God.📜💬📚

18 For I dare not speak any of those things which Christ worketh not by me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deeds,📜💬📚

19 in the virtue of signs and wonders, in the virtue of the Holy Ghost: so that from Jerusalem round about unto Illyricum I have replenished the Gospel of Christ.📜💬📚

20 And I have so preached this Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation;📜💬📚

21 but as it is written: They to whom it hath not been preached of him, shall see, and they that have not heard, shall understand.📜💬📚

22 For the which cause also I was hindered very much from coming unto you.📜💬📚

Paul's Travel Plans

23 But now having no longer place in these countries, and having a desire to come unto you these many years now passed:📜💬📚

24 when I shall begin to take my journey into Spain, I hope that as I pass, I shall see you, and be brought thither of you, if first in part I shall have enjoyed you.📜💬📚

25 Now therefore I will go unto Jerusalem to minister to the saints.📜💬📚

26 For Macedonia and Achaia have liked well to make some contribution upon the poor saints that are in Jerusalem.📜💬📚

27 For it hath pleased them: and they are their debters. For if the Gentiles be made partakers of their spiritual things; they ought also in carnal things to minister unto them.📜💬📚

28 This therefore when I shall have accomplished, and signed them this fruit, I will go by you into Spain.📜💬📚

29 And I know that coming to you, I shall come in aboundance of the blessing of Christ.📜💬📚

30 I beseech you therefore brethren by our Lord JESUS CHRIST, and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God,📜💬📚

31 that I may be delivered from the infidels that are in Jewry, and the oblation of my service may become acceptable in Jerusalem to the saints,📜💬📚

32 that I may come to you in joy by the will of God, that I may be refreshed with you.📜💬📚

33 And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.📜💬📚
