00:00.960 --> 00:01.880
Chapter 15.

00:02.320 --> 00:07.540
We then that are strong ought to bear the
infirmities of the weak, and not to please

00:07.540 --> 00:08.080
ourselves.

00:08.780 --> 00:12.660
Let every one of us please his neighbor
for his good to edification.

00:13.460 --> 00:15.340
For even Christ pleased not himself.

00:16.060 --> 00:21.280
But as it is written, The reproaches of
them that reproach thee fell on me.

00:21.920 --> 00:26.060
For whatsoever things were written
aforetime were written for our learning,

00:26.060 --> 00:30.120
that we through patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope.

00:30.660 --> 00:35.560
Now the God of patience and consolation
grant you to be like-minded one toward

00:35.560 --> 00:41.020
another according to Christ Jesus,
that ye may with one mind and one mouth

00:41.020 --> 00:45.320
glorify God, even the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ.

00:46.340 --> 00:50.680
Wherefore receive ye one another,
as Christ also received us to the glory of

00:50.680 --> 00:50.980
God.

00:51.760 --> 00:57.320
Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister
of the circumcision for the truth of God,

00:57.620 --> 01:02.700
to confirm the promises made unto the
fathers, and that the Gentiles might

01:02.700 --> 01:05.600
glorify God for his mercy as it is
written.

01:06.300 --> 01:11.580
For this cause I will confess to thee
among the Gentiles and sing unto thy name.

01:12.040 --> 01:16.000
And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles,
with his people.

01:16.540 --> 01:21.440
And again, Praise the Lord, all ye
Gentiles, and Lord him, all ye people.

01:22.040 --> 01:28.120
And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a
root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to

01:28.120 --> 01:31.820
reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the
Gentiles trust.

01:32.640 --> 01:39.040
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing that ye may abound

01:39.040 --> 01:41.400
in hope through the power of the Holy
Ghost.

01:42.100 --> 01:47.660
And I myself also am persuaded of you,
my brethren, that ye also are full of

01:47.660 --> 01:52.460
goodness, filled with all knowledge,
able also to admonish one another.

01:52.980 --> 01:57.160
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the
more boldly unto you in some sort,

01:57.460 --> 02:01.400
as putting you in mind, because of the
grace that is given to me of God,

02:01.780 --> 02:06.080
that I should be the minister of Jesus
Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the

02:06.080 --> 02:10.800
gospel of God, that the offering up of the
Gentiles might be acceptable, being

02:10.800 --> 02:12.540
sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

02:13.220 --> 02:17.620
I have therefore whereof I may glory
through Jesus Christ in those things which

02:17.620 --> 02:22.420
pertain to God, for I will not dare to
speak of any of those things which Christ

02:22.420 --> 02:27.780
hath not wrought by me, to make the
Gentiles obedient by word and deed.

02:28.500 --> 02:32.740
Through mighty signs and wonders,
by the power of the Spirit of God,

02:33.140 --> 02:37.580
so that from Jerusalem and round about
unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the

02:37.580 --> 02:38.480
gospel of Christ.

02:39.080 --> 02:43.640
Yea, so have I strived to preach the
gospel, not where Christ was named,

02:44.060 --> 02:46.400
lest I should build upon another man's
foundation.

02:47.120 --> 02:52.520
But as it is written, To whom he was not
spoken of they shall see, and they that

02:52.520 --> 02:54.380
have not heard shall understand.

02:54.980 --> 02:58.200
For which cause also I have been much
hindered from coming to you.

02:58.700 --> 03:03.020
But now, having no more place in these
parts, and having a great desire these

03:03.020 --> 03:08.280
many years to come unto you, whensoever I
take my journey into Spain, I will come to

03:08.280 --> 03:08.540
you.

03:09.000 --> 03:13.160
For I trust to see you in my journey,
and to be brought on my way thitherward by

03:13.160 --> 03:16.360
you, if first I be somewhat filled with
your company.

03:16.760 --> 03:20.240
But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister
unto the saints.

03:20.760 --> 03:25.240
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and
Achaia to make a certain contribution for

03:25.240 --> 03:27.080
the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

03:27.840 --> 03:30.960
It hath pleased them verily, and their
debtors they are.

03:31.400 --> 03:34.940
For if the Gentiles have been made
partakers of their spiritual things,

03:35.240 --> 03:39.060
their duty is also to minister unto them
in carnal things.

03:39.680 --> 03:43.260
When therefore I have performed this,
and have sealed to them this fruit,

03:43.500 --> 03:45.220
I will come by you into Spain.

03:45.660 --> 03:50.220
And I am sure that when I come unto you,
I shall come in the fullness of the

03:50.220 --> 03:51.940
blessing of the gospel of Christ.

03:52.460 --> 03:57.600
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord
Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of

03:57.600 --> 04:02.020
the Spirit, that ye strive together with
me in your prayers to God for me.

04:02.480 --> 04:07.300
That I may be delivered from them that do
not believe in Judea, and that my service,

04:07.300 --> 04:10.060
which I have for Jerusalem, may be
accepted of the saints.

04:10.260 --> 04:14.840
That I may come unto you with joy by the
will of God, and may with you be

04:14.840 --> 04:15.380
refreshed.

04:16.000 --> 04:18.460
Now the God of peace be with you all.

04:18.960 --> 04:19.280
Amen.
