1 我们坚强的人， 应该担当不坚强的人的软弱， 不应该求自己的喜悦。
2 我们各人务要叫邻舍喜悦， 好让他得到益处、得到造就。
3 因为连基督也不求自己的喜悦； 反而像经上所记的： "辱骂你的人的辱骂， 都落在我的身上。"
4 从前经上所写的， 都是为教训我们而写的， 好使我们借着忍耐和圣经中的安慰得着盼望。
5 愿赐忍耐和安慰的 神， 使你们彼此同心， 效法基督耶稣，
6 同心一致地荣耀我们主耶稣基督的父 神。
7 因此， 你们应当彼此接纳， 就像基督接纳了你们一样， 使荣耀归于 神。
8 我说， 基督为了 神的真理， 成了受割礼的人的仆人， 为的是要证实对祖先的应许，
9 使外族人因着所蒙的怜悯荣耀 神； 如经上所记： "因此我要在列邦中称赞你， 歌颂你的名。"
10 又说： "列邦啊， 当与他的子民一同快乐。"
11 又说： "万国啊， 你们当赞美主； 愿万民都颂赞他。"
12 以赛亚也说： "将来必有耶西的根， 就是那兴起来治理列邦的； 列邦都寄望于他。"
13 愿那赐盼望的 神， 因着你们的信， 把一切喜乐平安充满你们， 使你们靠着圣灵的大能满有盼望。
14 我的弟兄们， 我个人深信你们自己也满有良善， 充满丰富的知识， 也能够彼此劝导。
15 但有些地方， 我写得稍为大胆一点， 是要提醒你们； 我因着 神赐给我的恩典，
16 为外族人作了基督耶稣的仆役， 作了 神福音的祭司， 使所献上的外族人得蒙悦纳， 靠着圣灵成为圣洁。
17 所以， 在 神的事上， 我在基督耶稣里倒有可以引以为荣的。
18 别的我不敢说， 我只说基督借着我所作的事， 就是用言语行为， 借着神迹和奇事的大能， 以及圣灵的大能， 使外族人顺服； 这样， 我从耶路撒冷直到以利里古， 把基督的福音都传开了。
20 我立定主意， 不在宣扬过基督的地方传福音， 免得建立在别人的根基上，
21 反而照经上所记： "那对他一无所闻的， 将要看见； 那没有听过的， 将要明白。"
22 因此， 我多次受到拦阻， 不能到你们那里去。
23 但现在这一带再没有可传的地方， 而我多年来又很想去见你们，
24 所以， 无论我什么时候到西班牙去， 都希望趁我路过时和你们见面， 先稍微满足我的心愿， 然后由你们给我送行到那里去。
25 不过， 我现在为了供应圣徒的事要往耶路撒冷去；
26 因为马其顿和亚该亚人乐意捐了一些钱， 给耶路撒冷圣徒中的穷人。
27 他们是乐意的， 而且那也是他们的本分（"本分"原文作"债"）， 因为外族人既然分享了犹太人属灵的好处， 就应该供应他们肉身的需要。
28 等我办好这件事， 把这笔款项安全地交了给他们， 我就要路过你们那里到西班牙去。
29 我知道我到你们那里去的时候， 一定会带着基督丰盛的福分。
30 弟兄们， 我靠着我们的主耶稣基督， 凭着圣灵的慈爱， 劝你们和我一同竭力为我向 神祈祷，
31 求 神救我脱离犹太地不信从的人， 使我带到耶路撒冷的捐款， 可以得到圣徒的悦纳；
32 也使我照着 神的旨意， 高高兴兴地到你们那里去， 好和你们一同得到安息。
33 愿赐平安的 神与你们众人同在。阿们。
1 Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, unto edifying. 3 For Christ also pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. 4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope. 5 Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus: 6 that with one accord ye may with one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, 9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written,
Therefore will I give praise unto thee among the Gentiles,
And sing unto thy name.
10 And again he saith,
Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again,
Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles;
And let all the peoples praise him.
12 And again, Isaiah saith,
There shall be the root of Jesse,
And he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles;
On him shall the Gentiles hope.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 15 But I write the more boldly unto you in some measure, as putting you again in remembrance, because of the grace that was given me of God, 16 that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus unto the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 I have therefore my glorying in Christ Jesus in things pertaining to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of any things save those which Christ wrought through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, 19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and round about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ; 20 yea, making it my aim so to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation; 21 but, as it is written,
They shall see, to whom no tidings of him came,
And they who have not heard shall understand.
22 Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: 23 but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you, 24 whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)— 25 but now, I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints. 26 For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem. 27 Yea, it hath been their good pleasure; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they owe it to them also to minister unto them in carnal things. 28 When therefore I have accomplished this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will go on by you unto Spain. 29 And I know that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of Christ.
30 Now I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 31 that I may be delivered from them that are disobedient in Judæa, and that my ministration which I have for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints; 32 that I may come unto you in joy through the will of God, and together with you find rest. 33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
