1 WE then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to 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 laud him, all ye people.
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19 Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
21 But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
22 For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
23 But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
24 Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
28 When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
29 And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
30 Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for 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 do not believe in Judæa; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
32 That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

1Wee then that are strong, ought to beare the infirmities of the weake, and not to please our selues.

2Let euery one of vs please his neighbour for his good to edification.

3For euen Christ pleased not himselfe, but as it is written, The reproches of them that reproched thee, fell on mee.

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

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

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

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

8Now 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 that the Gentiles might glorifie God for his mercie, as it is written, For this cause I will confesse to thee among the Gentiles, and sing vnto thy Name.

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

11And againe, Praise the Lord all ye Gentiles, and laud him all ye people.

12And againe Esaias saith, There shal be a roote of Iesse, and he that shal rise to raigne ouer the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust.

13Nowe the God of hope fill you with all ioy and peace in beleeuing, that yee 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 goodnesse, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

15Neuerthelesse, brethren, I haue written the more boldly vnto you, in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is giuen to mee of God,

16That I should be the minister of Iesus Christ to 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 therfore whereof I may glory through Iesus Christ, in those things which pertaine to God.

18For I will not dare to speake of any of those things, which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deede,

19Through mighty signes and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Hierusalem and round about vnto Illyricum, I haue fully preached the Gospel of Christ.

20Yea, so haue I striued to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build vpon another mans foundation:

21But as it is written, To whom hee was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that haue not heard, shall vnderstand.

22For which cause also I haue been much hindered from coming to you.

23But now hauing no more place in these parts, and hauing a great desire these many yeeres to come vnto you:

24Whensoeuer I take my iourney into Spaine, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my iourney, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.

25But now I goe vnto Hierusalem, to minister vnto the Saints.

26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia, to make a certaine contribution for the poore Saints which are at Hierusalem.

27It hath pleased them verely, and their detters they are. For if the Gentiles haue bene made partakers of their spirituall things, their duetie is also to minister vnto them in carnall things.

28When therefore I haue performed this, and hane sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spaine.

29And I am sure that when I come vnto you, I shall come in the fulnes of the blessing of þe Gospel of Christ.

30Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Iesus Christs sake, and for the loue of the Spirit, that ye striue together with me, in your praiers to God for me,

31That I may bee deliuered from them that do not beleeue in Iudea, and that my seruice which I haue for Hierusalem, may bee accepted of the Saints:

32That I may come vnto you with ioy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.

33Now the God of peace bee with you all. Amen.

 

1 We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves; 2 let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up. 3 For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, "The insults of those who insult you fall upon me." 4 For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, 6 that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, to confirm the promises to the patriarchs, 9 but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: "Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles and sing praises to your name."10 And again it says: "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people." 11 And again: "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him." 12 And again Isaiah says: "The root of Jesse shall come, raised up to rule the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope." 13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the holy Spirit. 14 I myself am convinced about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another. 15 But I have written to you rather boldly in some respects to remind you, because of the grace given me by God 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in performing the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have reason to boast in what pertains to God. 18 For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to lead the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit (of God), so that from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum I have finished preaching the gospel of Christ. 20 Thus I aspire to proclaim the gospel not where Christ has already been named, so that I do not build on another's foundation, 21 but as it is written: "Those who have never been told of him shall see, and those who have never heard of him shall understand." 22 That is why I have so often been prevented from coming to you. 23 But now, since I no longer have any opportunity in these regions and since I have desired to come to you for many years, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain and to be sent on my way there by you, after I have enjoyed being with you for a time. 25 Now, however, I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the holy ones. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make some contribution for the poor among the holy ones in Jerusalem; 27 they decided to do it, and in fact they are indebted to them, for if the Gentiles have come to share in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to serve them in material blessings. 28 So when I have completed this and safely handed over this contribution to them, I shall set out by way of you to Spain; 29 and I know that in coming to you I shall come in the fullness of Christ's blessing. 30 I urge you, (brothers,) by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in the struggle by your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be delivered from the disobedient in Judea, and that my ministry for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the holy ones, 32 so that I may come to you with joy by the will of God and be refreshed together with you. 33 The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

Verses 1-13 have to do with building up a weaker brother.
v1-3.  See comments on 14:1. We are to bear the infirmities or burdens of the weak, and they may be heavy. The goal is to please others, not ourselves.  We are not to adopt them, but bear them, we can keep our own convictions.
v5,6.  Some issues are divisive, but strive for unity.
v7.  As in 14:1, we don’t just put up with some things, but accept them, because they are accepted by God.
v8-13.  v8 commends the Jews, but each of the next four verses give a praise to Gentiles, so v13 reminds that to all of us, our hope is in God by power of Holy Spirit.
Verses 14-33 Paul discusses his philosophy of ministry and projected plans.
v14-16.  Paul felt that other believers should also be able to admonish one another, but he felt God had led him to remind them in the preceding instructions. He is offering the Gentiles to God that Jew and Gentile might be one church, or Church.
v 17-19.  Paul gives credit to God, but acknowledges God has worked through him by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul had been a missionary in new territory of some 1500 miles from Jerusalem to Illyricum (or Dalmatia or Yugoslavia) and the circle past Corinth where he wrote this letter. 
v20-24.  Paul was happy to have laid a groundwork in new territory and feels it is time to move on to more new territory. For years he has wanted to also go to Rome, but they have been already reached by others. So his desire is to go to Spain, and stop off at Rome on the way to encourage them.
v25-29.  Now Paul is going to impoverished Jerusalem with the offering from the Gentiles. They have been blessed by the words of salvation from Jerusalem, so it is only reasonable that they return a material favor, v27. He is confident that when that task is accomplished, the Lord will permit this visit when he goes to Spain.
v30-33. Nevertheless, Paul had been warned of dangers at Jerusalem, so he asks the Romans to pray earnestly for him:
1 For deliverance from unbelievers in Judea
2 That his ministry to Jerusalem may be accepted
3 That he could come to them at Rome (He didn’t realize as a prisoner.)
4 That he might be refreshed by them as he continued to Spain, v24.
