Romans 15

1 We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.

1 我们坚强的人要担待软弱者的软弱，不该只顾自己的喜好。

2 Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

2 我们每个人都应该为他人着想，造就他人。

3 For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “The insults of those who insult You have fallen on Me.”

3 因为基督并没有专顾自己，正如圣经上说：“辱骂你之人的辱骂都落在我身上。”

4 For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

4 从前写在圣经上的话都是为了教导我们，使我们靠着忍耐和圣经的鼓励而有盼望。

5 Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,

5 但愿赐忍耐和鼓励的上帝给你们合一的心，去效法基督耶稣的榜样，

6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

6 使你们一起同声颂赞我们主耶稣基督的父上帝。

7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.

7 所以，你们应该像基督接纳你们一样彼此接纳，使上帝得荣耀。

8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,

8 我告诉你们，基督为了上帝的真理成为受割礼之人的仆人，好实现上帝对他们祖先的应许，

9 so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”

9 使外族人也因祂的怜悯而将荣耀归给上帝。正如圣经上说： “因此，我要在外族人中赞美你， 歌颂你的名。”

10 Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”

10 又说： “外族人啊， 你们当与主的子民一同欢乐。”

11 And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.”

11 又说： “万邦啊，你们要赞美主！ 万民啊，你们要颂扬祂！”

12 And once more, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”

12 以赛亚先知也说： “将来耶西的根要兴起， 祂要统治外族人， 外族人都要仰望祂。”

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

13 愿使人有盼望的上帝，因为你们信祂，将诸般的喜乐和平安充满你们的心，使你们借着圣灵的能力充满盼望！

14 I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.

14 弟兄姊妹，我深信你们充满良善，知识全备，能彼此劝导。

15 However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me

15 但我仍放胆写信提醒你们几件事，因为我蒙上帝赐恩，

16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

16 在外族人中做基督耶稣的仆人和上帝福音的祭司，好叫外族人借着圣灵得以圣洁，可以作上帝喜悦的祭物。

17 Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.

17 因此，我在基督耶稣里以事奉上帝为荣。

18 I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,

18–19 别的事我不敢提，只提基督借着我的言语行为，用神迹奇事和圣灵的大能叫外族人顺服，使我把基督的福音从耶路撒冷一直传到了以利哩古。

19 by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

20 In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

20 我立志只去从未听过基督之名的地方传福音，免得我建造在别人的根基上。

21 Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

21 正如圣经上说：“对祂毫无所闻的，将要看见；未曾听过的，将要明白。”

22 That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

22 因此，我一直受到拦阻，不能去你们那里。

23 But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,

23 如今，我已经把福音传遍了这一带，况且我几年来一直盼望去你们那里，

24 I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.

24 所以我想去西班牙的途中路过你们那里，稍作停留，享受与你们的相聚之乐，然后由你们资助我上路。

25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.

25 但现在我要去耶路撒冷服侍当地的圣徒，

26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem.

26 因为马其顿和亚该亚的教会欣然捐了财物给耶路撒冷的穷困圣徒。

27 They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual blessings, they are obligated to minister to them with material blessings.

27 这固然是他们慷慨解囊，但也可以说是他们该还的债。外族人既然分享了犹太圣徒属灵的福分，现在以物质报答他们也是应该的。

28 So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.

28 等我办完这件事，将捐款交付他们之后，我就会途经你们那里去西班牙。

29 I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

29 我知道我去的时候，必把基督丰盛的恩福带给你们。

30 Now I urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.

30 弟兄姊妹，我借着我们主耶稣基督和圣灵所赐的爱心，恳求你们与我一同竭力祷告，为我祈求上帝，

31 Pray that I may be delivered from the unbelievers in Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints there,

31 使我脱离犹太地区不信之人的迫害，叫耶路撒冷的圣徒乐意接受我带去的捐款，

32 so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.

32 并使我按照上帝的旨意去与你们欢聚，一同重新得力。

33 The God of peace be with all of you. Amen.

33 愿赐平安的上帝常与你们众人同在。阿们！
