Romans 15:1 Exploring NIV


Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

Doing Good to All

Galatians 6:1-2 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ

Galatians 6:4-5 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else,

for each one should carry their own load.

God's Righteous Judgement

Romans 2:1-11 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth.

So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment?

Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgement will be revealed.

God will repay each person according to what they have done."

To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger.

There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil; first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;

but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good; first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.

For God does not show favoritism.

Ephesians 4:25-28 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and
speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.

In your anger do not sin; Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,

and do not give the devil a foothold.

Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
