## Romans 15:4-13 in Context (Verses 1–16 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/romans/15/1) We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
 
 [2 ](/kjv/romans/15/2) Let every one of us please *his* neighbour for *his* good to edification.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/romans/15/3) For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/romans/15/4) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/romans/15/5) Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
 
 [6 ](/kjv/romans/15/6) That ye may with one mind *and* one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/romans/15/7) Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/romans/15/8) Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises *made* unto the fathers:
 
 [9 ](/kjv/romans/15/9) And that the Gentiles might glorify God for *his* mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/romans/15/10) And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/romans/15/11) And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/romans/15/12) And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/romans/15/13) Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/romans/15/14) And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/romans/15/15) Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
 
 [16 ](/kjv/romans/15/16) That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
