1 But we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let each one of us please his neighbor for his good, for the purpose of edification.
3 For even Christ did not please himself, but just as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”
4 For whatever was written beforehand was written for our instruction, in order that through patient endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we may have hope.
