1 But *we* ought, we that are strong, to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbour with a view to what is good, to edification.
3 For the Christ also did not please himself; but according as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproach thee have fallen upon me.
4 For as many things as have been written before have been written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
5 Now the God of endurance and of encouragement give to you to be like-minded one toward another, according to Christ Jesus;
6 that ye may with one accord, with one mouth, glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, according as the Christ also has received you to {the} glory of God.
8 For I say that Jesus Christ became a minister of {the} circumcision for {the} truth of God, to confirm the promises of the fathers;
9 and that the nations should glorify God for mercy; according as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among {the} nations, and will sing to thy name.
10 And again he says, Rejoice, nations, with his people.
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all {ye} nations, and let all the peoples laud him.
12 And again, Esaias says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and one that arises, to rule over {the} nations: in him shall {the} nations hope.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that ye should abound in hope by {the} power of {the} Holy Spirit.
14 But I am persuaded, my brethren, I myself also, concerning you, that yourselves also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 But I have written to you the more boldly, {brethren,} in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace given to me by God,
16 for me to be minister of Christ Jesus to the nations, carrying on as a sacrificial service the {message of} glad tidings of God, in order that the offering up of the nations might be acceptable, sanctified by {the} Holy Spirit.
17 I have therefore {whereof to} boast in Christ Jesus in the things which pertain to God.
18 For I will not dare to speak anything of the things which Christ has not wrought by me, for {the} obedience of {the} nations, by word and deed,
19 in {the} power of signs and wonders, in {the} power of {the} Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circuit round to Illyricum, have fully preached the glad tidings of the Christ;
20 and so aiming to announce the glad tidings, not where Christ has been named, that I might not build upon another's foundation;
21 but according as it is written, To whom there was nothing told concerning him, they shall see; and they that have not heard shall understand.
22 Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you.
23 But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years,
24 whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;)
25 but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints;
26 for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who {are} in Jerusalem.
27 They have been well pleased indeed, and they are their debtors; for if the nations have participated in their spiritual things, they ought also in fleshly to minister to them.
28 Having finished this therefore, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will set off by you into Spain.
29 But I know that, coming to you, I shall come in {the} fulness of {the} blessing of Christ.
30 But I beseech you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in prayers for me to God;
31 that I may be saved from those that do not believe in Judaea; and that my ministry which {I have} for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints;
32 in order that I may come to you in joy by God's will, and that I may be refreshed with you.
33 And the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
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。
