Romans 15:1-7 Exploring ETR


Romans 15:1-7 Some of us have no problem with these things. So we should be patient with those who are not so strong and have doubts. We should not do what pleases us

but do what pleases them and is for their good. We should do whatever helps everyone stronger in faith.

Even Christ did not live trying to please himself. As the Scriptures say about him, "Those people who insulted you have also insulted me,"

Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. Those things were written so that we could have hope. That hope comes from the patience and encouragement that the Scriptures give us. 

All patience and encouragement come from God. And I pray that God will help you all agree with each other, as Christ Jesus wants. 

Then you will all be joined together. And all together you will give glory to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other. This will bring honor to God. 

Help Each Other

Galatians 6:1-2 Brothers and sisters, someone in your group might do something wrong. You who are following the Spirit should go to the one who is sinning. Help make that person right again, and do it in a gentle way. But be careful, because you might be tempted to sin too.

Help each other with your troubles, When you do this, you are obeying the law of Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:14 We ask you, brothers and sisters, to warn those who will not work. Encourage those who are afraid, Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 I am free. I belong to no other person, but I make myself a slave to everyone. I do this to help save as many people as I can.

To the Jews I became like a Jew so that I can help save Jews. I myself am not ruled by the law, but to those who are ruled by the law I became like someone who is ruled by the law. I did this to help those who are ruled by the law.

To those who are without the law I became like someone who is without the law. I did this to help save those who are without the law. (But really, I am not without God's law--I am ruled by the law of Christ.)

To those who are weak, I became weak so that I could help save them. I have become all things to all people. I did this so that I could save people in any way possible.

I do all this to make the Good News known. I do it so that I can share in the blessings of the Good News.

1 Corinthians 10:11 The things that happened to those people are examples. They were written to be warnings to us. We live in the time that all those past histories were pointing to.

2 Corinthians 13:9 We are happy to be weak if you are strong. And this is what we pray--that your lives will be made completely right again.

Psalm 68:8-9 The ground shook and rain poured from the sky when God, the God of Israel, came to Sinai.

God, you sent the rain to make a tired, old land strong again.

Be United and Care for Each Other

Philippians 2:1-2 Think about what we have in Christ; the encouragement he has brought us, the comfort of his love, our sharing in his Spirit, and the mercy and kindness he has shown us. If you enjoy these blessings,

then do what will make my joy complete; Agree with each other, and show your love for each other. Be united in your goals and in the way you think.

Right with God

Romans 5:1-2 We have been made right with God because of our faith; So we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God's grace that we now enjoy. And we are very happy because of the hope we have in sharing God's glory.

Don't Criticize Others

Romans 14:1-3 Be willing to accept those who still have doubts about what believers can do, And don't argue with them about their different ideas.

Some people believe they can eat any kind of food, but those who have doubts eat only vegetables.

Those who know they can eat any kind of food must not feel that they are better than those who eat only vegetables. And those who eat only vegetables must not decide that those who eat all foods are wrong. God has accepted them
