ROM 15
Selfless-love bear burden of others for God's sake
1 Moreover, we, the stong ones, must lift/bear the weakness/failures of the weak ones and never seek to be agreeable/please ourselves.
2 Each of us should seek to please/satisfy his neighbour unto good things, towards edification.
3 for, even Christ did not seek to please Himself; but, as it is written: upon reproaching, your reproach, rest upon Me. (Ps 69:9)
4 no doubt, as much as that has been previously written, were written unto our doctrine/teachings, at least through cheerful-endurance of all things and by the exhortation through the Holy writings, we will have pleasurable-hope.
5 so, by exercising mind on the exhortation according to God, it will give you a cheerful endurance among one another in Christ Jesus.
6 At least, by one mouth (language), we will unanimously glorify God and the FATHER of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Dont stop as christianos; be Christ-like in pleasurable-hope
7 by this reason, accept one another, even as Christ accepts you, unto the Glory of God.
8 for, we become a minister/deacon of Christ, speaking the Truth of God, to establish/stabilize the promise unto the fathers; for the sake of those of circumcision,..
9 ... and for the sake of the Heathen nations by mercy, just as it is written, by this reason, (they will) acknowledge/profess YOU within Heathen races, playing musical instrument/making melody (psalo) to YOUR NAME, glorifying God. 2Sam 22:50)
10 And, again it was said, the heathen nations will make Merry (be in a good frame of mind) amidst HIS people. (Deut 32:43)
11 And again, Praise the Supreme Lord, all the heathen races, and commend/applaud HIM, all the people. (Ps 117:1)
12 And again, Isaiah said of the Root, and there shall be One from Jesse who will stand up to rule over the Heathen races; and the Heathen races will have hope upon Him. (Is 11:10)
13 Moreover, to all who have faith; in pleasurable hope, you will be fulfilled, by Joy of the Peace with God; even as Holy SPIRIT increases in you unto miraculous power, in pleasurable-hope.
Paul was rest assure to have reproduce himself in them
14 Moreover, Brethren, I am persuaded concerning you, that you are full of the same beneficence (agathosyne), and all knowledge, even the same as me, to be able to admonish one another and be fulfilled.
15 Moreover, more daringly, I have written to you, like reminding you of things from the SECTION (local assembly), through the grace given to me by God,
Gospel and miracles are spreading everywhere from Isreal to Europe
16 Those with me, who are public-Ministers of the gospel of Christ Jesus unto the heathen Nations as those officiating in holy service (as temple workers), have at least, generated acceptable/well-received offering (oblation or bloodless-sacrifice) of the Gentiles who are made holy (consecrated) by the Holy SPIRIT unto God,
17 Therefore, we have things of boasting in Christ Jesus, towards God.
18 for, we dare not preach anything, by words or deeds, which was not accomplished (fully worked out) through Christ unto attentive listening/obedience of the heathen-races,
19 by miraculous power, signs and wonders in the power of the Spirit of God; thus, we have fulfilled the gospel of Christ, away from Jerusalem, and as far as Illyricum shore (Europe region) to those all around.
20 moreover, we are likewise being ambitious to preach the gospel, where Christ has not been named/mentioned, at least not to build upon foundation of another;
21 but, as it is written, (they) will clearly discern {what has not been rehearsed concerning HIM}; and (they will) understand (mentally put together), what has not been heard. (Is 52:15).
Plan to visit Rome and insufficient labourers
22 even on this account, many are hindered to come towards you.
23 Also, for emphasy, we no longer have competent ones (hikanons) in places for years, however, we have intense-desire to come towards you from this region (clime)
24 As it were, (we will) possibly travel unto SPAIN, because, I expect, as we are passing through, (they will) visit you; and they should be sent forward (aid in travel) from there by you, in case, you, from the SECTION (local assembly) have first of all, been filled/satisfied.
25 Also, for emphasy, I am taking a journey to Jerusalem, to serve (relief materials to) the saints,
26 because certain persons of Macedonia of Achaia (in Greece) are well pleased to make contribution/do partnership unto the poor of the saints in Jerusalem.
27 they are well pleased, because they are indebted to them; for, if having shared in their spiritual things, the Gentiles-races, also ought to minister to them in material things.
28 fully accomplish this, by setting a seal on this fruits on account of you to them, then, they will depart unto Spain (Europe).
There is fulness of the blessings of Christ and 2 prayer points for Paul
29 Also, be aware that on coming towards you, I am coming in the fullness of the blessings of Christ.
30 Moreover, I beseech you, Brethren, through our Lord, Jesus Christ, and through the SPIRIT of selfless-Love, to strive together with me in oratory prayer towards God for me...
31.... at least, to be rescued from those who refuse to believe in Judea and our relief ministry unto Jerusalem, will become acceptable/well-received by the holy-saints;
32.... at least, I will come towards you, in cheerfulness, through the will of God, and I will be refreshed together with you.
33 So, the Peace with God be with you all. Amen.

17 I exhort you, Brethren, to scope (spy) those who make double-standings/disunion and snares (scandals) besides the teachings which you have learnt; so, shun/turn away from them.
18 because such ones are not serving our Lord Christ, but through fair-speech and the largess for their belly, they wholly-seduce the hearts of the harmless/simple (naive).
19 for, your obedience to all things has spread forth unto all. Therefore, I rejoice upon you. Also I want you to be wise (indeed), unto good things, and unalloyed (simple/unmixed) unto worthless things.
