Romans 15
1 Most of us are sure [that God will not punish us for doing certain things that the laws and rituals God gave Moses said the Jews should not do. But we] should be patient with those who are uncertain [about such things], and we should not let them irritate us. We should not [simply] please ourselves.
to owe then me the/this/who able the/this/who weakness the/this/who unable to carry and not themself to please
2 Each of us should [do the things that] please the fellow [believers with whom we come in contact, and things that will] benefit them. [We should do those things] in order to help them mature [spiritually].
each (for *k*) me the/this/who near/neighbor to please toward the/this/who good to/with building
3 [We should please our fellow believers], since Christ [has set us an example]. He did not [do things to] please himself. On the contrary, [he tried to please God even when others insulted him. That was] as it is written {as ([someone/the Psalmist]) wrote} [in Scripture that the Messiah said to God]: “When people insulted you [(sg)], [it was as though] they were also insulting me.”
and for the/this/who Christ no themself to please but as/just as to write the/this/who reproach the/this/who to revile you (to fall/press upon *N(k)O*) upon/to/against I/we
4 And [you need to remember that] what was written previously {what [God’s servants] previously wrote} [in the Scriptures], was written {[they] wrote} to teach us in order that we would be patient and be encouraged by [reading/believing] what they wrote. If we do that, we can confidently expect [God to do for us all he has promised].
just as/how much for to write/designate (all *O*) toward the/this/who I/we teaching (to write *N(k)O*) in order that/to through/because of the/this/who perseverance and through/because of the/this/who encouragement the/this/who a writing the/this/who hope to have/be
5 God is the one who enables us to be patient and encourages us. ([Ask/Pray to]) [him that he would] enable you [all] to live harmoniously with each other, doing as Christ Jesus [did].
the/this/who then God the/this/who perseverance and the/this/who encouragement to give you the/this/who it/s/he to reason in/on/among one another according to Christ Jesus
6 Then, as you are united in what you think and say [MTY], you will praise God, [who is the heavenly] father [MET] of our Lord Jesus Christ.
in order that/to united in/on/among one mouth to glorify the/this/who God and father the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ
7 So [I say to all of you believers at Rome], accept each other. [If you do that], people will praise God [as they see you behaving like Christ. Accept each other] just like Christ accepted you!
therefore to take one another as/just as and the/this/who Christ to take (you *N(K)O*) toward glory (the/this/who *no*) God
8 I want [you to remember] that Christ [helped us] Jews [MTY] by what he did, in order to show that God (is faithful/does what he says he will do). That is, [his coming as our Messiah] fulfilled what God promised to [our Jewish] ancestors.
to say (for *N(k)O*) Christ (Jesus *K*) servant (to be *NK(o)*) circumcision above/for truth God toward the/this/who to confirm the/this/who promise the/this/who father
9 And [by acting mercifully to them, he also caused] non-Jews to praise him. [What he has done for non-Jews] fulfills what is written [in the Scriptures that David said to God]: “So I will praise you [(sg) when I am] among the non-Jews, and I will sing to you [MTY].”
the/this/who then Gentiles above/for mercy to glorify the/this/who God as/just as to write through/because of this/he/she/it to agree you in/on/among Gentiles and the/this/who name you to sing praise
10 [David] also wrote, “You non-Jews, rejoice with us who are God’s people.”
and again to say to celebrate Gentiles with/after the/this/who a people it/s/he
11 [And Moses wrote in] the [Scriptures], “Praise the Lord, all [you] non-Jews, and may everyone praise him [DOU].”
and again to praise all the/this/who Gentiles the/this/who lord: God and (to praise *N(K)O*) it/s/he all the/this/who a people
12 And Isaiah wrote [in the Scriptures], “There will be a descendant [MET] of [King] David who will begin to rule the non-Jews. They will confidently expect him [to fulfill what he has promised].”
and again Isaiah to say to be the/this/who root the/this/who Jesse and the/this/who to arise be first Gentiles upon/to/against it/s/he Gentiles to hope/expect
13 God is the one who causes you to confidently expect [him to do what he has promised. I pray/ask] that he will cause you to be completely joyful and peaceful as you trust [in him]. As you do that, the Holy Spirit will enable you to more and more confidently expect [to receive what God has promised you].
the/this/who then God the/this/who hope to fulfill you all joy and peace in/on/among the/this/who to trust (in) toward the/this/who to exceed you in/on/among the/this/who hope in/on/among power spirit/breath: spirit holy
14 My fellow believers, I myself am [completely] sure that you yourselves [have acted toward others] in a completely good way. You have done that because you have known completely [all that God wants you to know] [HYP], and because you are able to teach each other.
to persuade then brother me and it/s/he I/we about you that/since: that and it/s/he full to be goodness to fulfill all (the/this/who *no*) knowledge be able and (one another *NK(O)*) to admonish
15 However, I have written to you quite frankly [in this letter] about some things in order to remind you [about those things]. [I have written this letter] because I have been appointed by God {God has [appointed] me}, which I did not deserve,
more boldly then to write you (brother *k*) away from part as/when to remind you through/because of the/this/who grace the/this/who to give me (by/under: by *NK(o)*) the/this/who God
16 in order that I would work for Jesus Christ among non-Jews. [God has appointed me] to act like a priest as I [proclaim] his good message in order that he will accept the non-Jews [who believe in Christ. They will be] like an offering [MET] [to God] as a result of their being dedicated [to him] by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit dedicating them [to God]}.
toward the/this/who to exist me minister Christ Jesus toward the/this/who Gentiles to minister the/this/who gospel the/this/who God in order that/to to be the/this/who offering the/this/who Gentiles acceptable to sanctify in/on/among spirit/breath: spirit holy
17 It follows that, because [of my relationship with] (OR, because [I belong to]) Christ Jesus, I am happy about [my work for] God.
to have/be therefore/then (the/this/who *no*) pride in/on/among Christ Jesus the/this/who to/with the/this/who God
18 I will speak boldly only [LIT] about the work that Christ has enabled me to do. [I do that work] in order that non-Jews might pay attention to [the message about Christ] as a result of what I have said and done,
no for be bold one to speak which no to workout/produce Christ through/because of I/we toward obedience Gentiles word and work
19 specifically, by [my performing] many powerful miracles [DOU]. [I have done those things] as a result of [God’s] Spirit powerfully [enabling me]. As a result [of doing those things, while traveling] all the way around from Jerusalem to Illyricum [province], I have completed [my work] of proclaiming the message about Christ [in those places].
in/on/among power sign and wonders in/on/among power spirit/breath: spirit (God *NK(O)*) so me away from Jerusalem and surrounding until the/this/who Illyricum to fulfill the/this/who gospel the/this/who Christ
20 As [I proclaim] that message, I am always eagerly trying to proclaim it [in places] where people have not already heard about Christ. I do that in order that [as I work for God] I might not [be continuing the work for him that someone else already started] [MET]. [I do not want to be like a man who] builds [a house] on someone else’s foundation.
thus(-ly) then (to aspire *NK(o)*) to speak good news no where(-ever) to name Christ in order that/to not upon/to/against another’s foundation to build
21 On the contrary, [I teach non-Jews, so that what happens may be like] what was written {the prophet Isaiah wrote} [in the Scriptures about the Messiah]: “Those who did not hear about him previously will know [the truth about him]. Truly, those who have not heard [about him will hear and] understand [his message] [DOU].”
but as/just as to write which no to report about it/s/he to appear and which no to hear to understand
22 Because [I have attempted to preach the message about Christ in places where they have not heard about him], I have been hindered {things have hindered me} many times [from being able] to visit you.
therefore and to impede the/this/who much the/this/who to come/go to/with you
23 But now there are no more places in these regions [where people have not heard about Christ]. Furthermore, for several years I have wanted to visit you.
now then never again place to have/be in/on/among the/this/who region this/he/she/it longing then to have/be the/this/who to come/go to/with you away from (much *NK(O)*) year
24 [So I hope to go/come to see you]. I hope to do that as soon as I am on my way to [the provinces in] Spain. I hope to see you as I journey through [your area], and I hope that [by whatever you give me] [EUP] you will help me on my journey to Spain. But before [I go there], I want to enjoy being with you for a little while, although [I would like to stay with you longer].
as/when (if *N(k)O*) to travel toward the/this/who Spain (to come/go to/with you *K*) to hope/expect for to go through to look at you and by/under: by you to help on the way there if you first: previous away from part to fill up
25 But [I cannot visit you] now, because I am about to go to Jerusalem in order to take money [EUP] for God’s people [there].
now then to travel toward Jerusalem to serve the/this/who holy: saint
26 [The believers in] Macedonia and Achaia [provinces] [MTY] decided to contribute some [money] [EUP] for those of God’s people in Jerusalem who are poor.
to delight for Macedonia and Achaia participation one to do/make: do toward the/this/who poor the/this/who holy: saint the/this/who in/on/among Jerusalem
27 They themselves decided [to do this, but] truly they owe something to God’s people in Jerusalem. The non-Jewish [believers] benefited spiritually from Jewish [believers as a result of hearing the message about Christ from them], so the non-Jews should also help the Jewish believers [in Jerusalem by giving them] material things (OR, money) [EUP].
to delight for and debtor to be it/s/he if for the/this/who spiritual it/s/he to participate the/this/who Gentiles to owe and in/on/among the/this/who fleshly to minister it/s/he
28 So when I have finished this [task] by safely delivering all this money [MET, EUP] [that the believers in Macedonia and Achaia have given], I will leave [Jerusalem and visit] you [in Rome while I am] on my way to Spain.
this/he/she/it therefore/then to complete and to seal it/s/he the/this/who fruit this/he/she/it to go away through/because of you toward (the/this/who *k*) Spain
29 And I know that when I visit you, Christ will abundantly bless [us] (OR, enable [me] to bless [you]).
to know then that/since: that to come/go to/with you in/on/among fulfillment praise (the/this/who gospel *K*) (the/this/who *k*) Christ to come/go
30 Because [we belong to] our Lord Jesus Christ and because the Spirit [of God causes us to] love [each other], I urge you [all] that [you help me] by fervently/intensely praying to God for me.
to plead/comfort then you brother through/because of the/this/who lord: God me Jesus Christ and through/because of the/this/who love the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit to struggle me in/on/among the/this/who prayer above/for I/we to/with the/this/who God
31 [Pray that] I will be protected {[that God] will protect me} so that the [Jews] in Judea who do not believe [the message about Christ will not harm me]. Also pray that God’s people in Jerusalem will accept the money [EUP] that I [take] to them.
in order that/to to rescue away from the/this/who to disobey in/on/among the/this/who Judea and (in order that/to *K*) the/this/who service me the/this/who toward Jerusalem acceptable the/this/who holy: saint to be
32 Pray these things in order that I may go/come to you if God wants me to go/come, and that I may go/come joyfully, and that then God will refresh my [spirit as a result of my visiting/being] with you.
in order that/to in/on/among joy (to come/go *N(k)O*) to/with you through/because of will/desire God (and *ko*) to rest with you
33 [I pray that] God, who [causes us to have inner] peace, will be with all of you [and will help] you. (May it be so!/Amen!)
the/this/who then God the/this/who peace with/after all you amen
