Romans 15:2

Serving othersFellowship and the churchLove for others

1 We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

3 For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

4 For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.
