Romans 15:3-18

³For Christ also would not please himselfe, but as it is written, The rebukes of them which rebuke thee, fell on me.

⁴For whatsoeuer things are written aforetime, are writte for our learning, that we through patience, and comfort of the Scriptures might haue hope.

⁵Now the God of patience and consolation giue you that ye be like minded one towards another, according to Christ Iesus,

⁶That ye with one minde, and with one mouth may prayse God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ.

⁷Wherefore receiue ye one another, as Christ also receiued vs to the glory of God.

⁸Nowe I say, that Iesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision, for the trueth of God, to confirme the promises made vnto the fathers.

⁹And let the Gentiles prayse God, for his mercie, as it is written, For this cause I wil confesse thee among the Gentiles, and sing vnto thy Name.

¹⁰And againe he saith, Reioyce, ye Gentiles with his people.

¹¹And againe, Prayse the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and laude ye him, all people together.

¹²And againe Esaias sayth, There shall be a roote of Iesse, and hee that shall rise to reigne ouer the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.

¹³Nowe the God of hope fill you with all ioye, and peace in beleeuing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the holy Ghost.

¹⁴And I my selfe also am perswaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodnes, and filled with all knowledge, and are able to admonish one another.

¹⁵Neuerthelesse, brethren, I haue somewhat boldly after a sort written vnto you, as one that putteth you in remembrance, through the grace that is giuen me of God,

¹⁶That I should be the minister of Iesus Christ toward the Gentiles, ministring the Gospel of God, that the offering vp of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Ghost.

¹⁷I haue therefore whereof I may reioyce in Christ Iesus in those things which pertaine to God.

¹⁸For I dare not speake of any thing, which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient in worde and deede,
