About Romans 15"We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves," for "even Christ pleased not himself," and "whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning." "Receive ye one another, as Christ also received us," Paul urges, praying that "the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing." He tells how "from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum" he has fully preached the gospel, and that he will come to Rome on his way to Spain after going "unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints," asking them to "strive together with me in your prayers."
