Open this scene in the reader →

1We who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not please ourselves.

2Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, for building him up.

3For even the Messiah did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”

4For whatever was written beforehand was written for our instruction, so that through the endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
