Romans 15

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

1 我们坚固的人应该担代不坚固人的软弱，不求自己的喜悦。

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

2 我们各人务要叫邻舍喜悦，使他得益处，建立德行。

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 因为基督也不求自己的喜悦，如经上所记：「辱骂你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 从前所写的圣经都是为教训我们写的，叫我们因圣经所生的忍耐和安慰可以得着盼望。

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

5 但愿赐忍耐安慰的 神叫你们彼此同心，效法基督耶稣，

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

6 一心一口荣耀 神—我们主耶稣基督的父！

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

7 所以，你们要彼此接纳，如同基督接纳你们一样，使荣耀归与 神。

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 我说，基督是为 神真理作了受割礼人的执事，要证实所应许列祖的话，

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 并叫外邦人因他的怜悯荣耀 神。如经上所记： 因此，我要在外邦中称赞你， 歌颂你的名；

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

10 又说： 你们外邦人当与主的百姓一同欢乐；

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

11 又说： 外邦啊，你们当赞美主！ 万民哪，你们都当颂赞他！

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 又有以赛亚说： 将来有耶西的根， 就是那兴起来要治理外邦的； 外邦人要仰望他。

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 但愿使人有盼望的 神，因信将诸般的喜乐、平安充满你们的心，使你们借着圣灵的能力大有盼望！

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

14 弟兄们，我自己也深信你们是满有良善，充足了诸般的知识，也能彼此劝戒。

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

15 但我稍微放胆写信给你们，是要提醒你们的记性，特因 神所给我的恩典，

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 使我为外邦人作基督耶稣的仆役，作 神福音的祭司，叫所献上的外邦人，因着圣灵成为圣洁，可蒙悦纳。

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

17 所以论到 神的事，我在基督耶稣里有可夸的。

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 除了基督借我做的那些事，我什么都不敢提，只提他借我言语作为，用神迹奇事的能力，并圣灵的能力，使外邦人顺服；

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.

19 甚至我从耶路撒冷，直转到以利哩古，到处传了基督的福音。

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 我立了志向，不在基督的名被称过的地方传福音，免得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 就如经上所记： 未曾闻知他信息的，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 我因多次被拦阻，总不得到你们那里去。

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 但如今，在这里再没有可传的地方，而且这好几年，我切心想望到西班牙去的时候，可以到你们那里，

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 盼望从你们那里经过，得见你们，先与你们彼此交往，心里稍微满足，然后蒙你们送行。

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

25 但现在，我往耶路撒冷去供给圣徒。

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人乐意凑出捐项给耶路撒冷圣徒中的穷人。

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 这固然是他们乐意的，其实也算是所欠的债；因外邦人既然在他们属灵的好处上有分，就当把养身之物供给他们。

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 等我办完了这事，把这善果向他们交付明白，我就要路过你们那里，往西班牙去。

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

29 我也晓得，去的时候必带着基督丰盛的恩典而去。

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 弟兄们，我借着我们主耶稣基督，又借着圣灵的爱，劝你们与我一同竭力，为我祈求 神，

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 叫我脱离在犹太不顺从的人，也叫我为耶路撒冷所办的捐项可蒙圣徒悦纳，

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

32 并叫我顺着 神的旨意，欢欢喜喜地到你们那里，与你们同得安息。

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

33 愿赐平安的 神常和你们众人同在。阿们！
