Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 1Th 5:14Rom 14:11Co 9:22Gal 6:1-21Co 12:22-241Jn 2:142Ti 2:1Rom 4:20 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up. 1Co 10:24Rom 14:19Php 2:4-51Co 10:331Co 9:19-221Co 13:5Tit 2:9-10 For even Christ didn’t please himself. But, as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.” 1 Psa 69:9Php 2:8Jhn 4:34Jhn 5:30Jhn 6:38Psa 89:50-512Co 8:9Jhn 12:27-28 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 1Co 10:112Ti 3:16-17Rom 4:23-242Pe 1:20-21Heb 10:35-36Rom 12:121Co 9:9-10Rom 8:24-25 Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, Php 2:4-5Rom 15:131Pe 3:8Eph 5:2Rom 12:162Co 13:111Co 1:10Psa 86:5 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, 2 to the glory of God. Mat 10:40Jhn 13:34Rom 14:1-3Rom 5:2Luk 9:48Mrk 9:37Eph 1:6-82Th 1:10-12 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers, Gal 4:4-5Mat 15:242Co 1:20Jhn 1:11Act 3:25-26Jhn 10:16Rom 3:3Rom 15:16 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, 2Sa 22:50Psa 18:49Rom 3:29Mat 9:8
“Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles
and sing to your name.” 3

Again, Isaiah says, Isa 11:10Isa 11:1Mat 12:21Rev 22:16Rev 5:51Co 15:19Mic 4:1-3Dan 7:14
“There will be the root of Jesse,
he who arises to rule over the Gentiles;
in him the Gentiles will hope.” 6
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit. 2Th 2:16-17Rom 12:122Co 9:8Gal 5:22Rom 14:17Jhn 14:1Rom 15:5Jhn 14:27
I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers, 7 that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others. 2Pe 1:12Col 3:161Co 8:11Jn 2:211Co 1:51Co 8:101Co 8:71Th 5:11 But I write the more boldly to you in part as reminding you, because of the grace that was given to me by God, Rom 12:31Co 15:10Rom 1:5Rom 12:61Jn 5:131Pe 4:10-112Pe 3:151Co 3:10 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of the Good News of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Rom 11:13Rom 1:1Act 9:151Ti 1:112Ti 1:11Php 2:17Act 20:24Isa 66:19-20 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God. 2Co 2:14-162Co 12:11-212Co 7:42Co 12:12Co 3:4-6Heb 5:1Php 3:32Co 11:16-30 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which Christ worked through me for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, Act 15:12Rom 1:5Act 21:19Pro 25:14Gal 2:82Th 2:17Rom 16:261Co 3:6-9 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God’s Spirit; so that from Jerusalem and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the Good News of Christ; 2Co 12:12Heb 2:4Act 19:11-12Gal 3:52Ti 4:171Co 12:4-11Act 20:6Act 17:10 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another’s foundation. 2Co 10:13-161Co 3:9-15Eph 2:20-22 But, as it is written, Isa 52:15Isa 65:1
“They will see, to whom no news of him came.
They who haven’t heard will understand.” 8
Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you, Rom 1:131Th 2:17-18 but now, no longer having any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come to you, Rom 15:32Act 19:21Rom 1:10-12Rom 15:291Th 3:102Ti 1:4 whenever I travel to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while. Rom 15:28Rom 1:12Act 15:31Co 16:5-72Co 1:16Act 19:21Act 21:53Jn 1:6 But now, I say, I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints. Act 19:21Act 24:17Act 20:22Act 20:161Co 16:1-3Act 18:21Gal 2:10Rom 15:26-31 For it has been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem. 2Co 8:1-92Co 9:2Act 11:27-302Co 9:12Jas 2:5-61Co 16:15Act 16:9Act 18:12 Yes, it has been their good pleasure, and they are their debtors. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to serve them in material things. 1Co 9:11Gal 6:6Phm 1:19Rom 11:17 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by way of you to Spain. Php 4:17Rom 15:24Col 1:6Pro 19:21Lam 3:37Jas 4:13-15 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the Good News of Christ.
