Romans 15:3-19

³For Christ pleased not to himself, but, as it is written, The reproofs, or shames, of men despising thee, felled on me.

⁴For whatever things be written, those be written to our teaching, that by patience and comfort of scriptures we have hope.

⁵But God of patience and of solace give to you to understand the same thing, each into other, after Jesus Christ,

⁶that ye of one will with one mouth worship God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷For which thing take ye together, as also Christ took you into the honour of God.

⁸For I say, that Jesus Christ was a minister of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises of fathers.

⁹And heathen men owe to honour God for mercy; as it is written, Therefore, Lord, I shall acknowledge to thee among heathen men, and I shall sing to thy name.

¹⁰And again he saith, Ye heathen men, be ye glad or joy with his people.

¹¹And again, All heathen men, praise ye the Lord; and all peoples, magnify ye him.

¹²And again Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, that shall rise up to govern heathen men, and heathen men shall hope in him.

¹³And God of hope full-fill you in all joy and peace in believing, that ye increase or abound in hope and virtue of the Holy Ghost.

¹⁴And, brethren, I myself am certain of you, that also ye be full of love, and ye be full-filled with all knowing or all science, so that ye may admonish each other.

¹⁵And, brethren, more boldly I wrote to you a part, as bringing you into mind, for the grace that is given to me of God,

¹⁶that I be the minister of Christ Jesus among heathen men. And I hallow the gospel of God, that the offering of heathen men be accepted or be made acceptable, and hallowed in the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷Therefore I have glory in Christ Jesus to God.

¹⁸For I dare not speak anything of those things, which Christ doeth not by me, into obedience of heathen men, in word and deeds,

¹⁹in virtue of tokens and great wonders, in virtue of the Holy Ghost, so that from Jerusalem by compass to the Illyricum sea or till unto Illyricum, I have full-filled the gospel of Christ.
