10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love isthe fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it ishigh time to awake out of sleep: for now isour
salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness,
and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and
wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfilthe lusts
thereof.
1 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, butnot to doubtful disputations.
2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3 Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge
him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth.
Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man
be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth itunto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the
Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he
that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether
we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead
and living.
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we
shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11 For it is written, AsI live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue
shall confess to God.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a
stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in hisbrother's way.
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there isnothing unclean of itself: but to
him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it isunclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thymeat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not
him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the
Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in these things serveth Christ isacceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one
may edify another.
20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed arepure; but it isevil for that man
who eateth with offence.
21 It isgood neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thingwhereby thy brother
stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
22 Hast thou faith? have itto thyself before God. Happy ishe that condemneth not himself in
that thing which he alloweth.
23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eatethnot of faith: for whatsoever is
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 hisneighbour for hisgood 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 andone 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 madeunto the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for hismercy; 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
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 yourprayers to God for me;
31 That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I
havefor 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 bewith you all. Amen.
1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever
business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all
the churches of the Gentiles.
5 Likewise greetthe church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the
firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the
apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
8 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
9 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.
11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the householdof Narcissus, which are in
the Lord.
12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which
laboured much in the Lord.
13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with
them.
15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which
are with them.
16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the
doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good
words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I
would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ bewith you. Amen.
21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
22 I Tertius, who wrote thisepistle, salute you in the Lord.
23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city
saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ bewith you all. Amen.
25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of
