Readings in Romans - Day 40 - The Example of Christ
Please join us as we read through a portion of Romans daily. Feel free to comment, share your thoughts or ask questions about this portion.
In today's reading, Paul is 'talking' to those who are more experienced in the faith about their actions toward those who are not as strong in their faith.
Just as Christ did what was necessary to help others to understand, Christians are to exercise patience and help others to grow in faith. Rather than feeling better than others, Christians are to help others to glorify God.
15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
