Romans 15:5
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.
Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,
6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
