1 We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves;
2 let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up.
3 For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you fall upon me.”
4 For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
