Romans 15:1–7

Week 7

The Epistle to the Romans, conceived 117

Brethren, receive one another, just as Christ also received you to the glory of God. I mean that Jesus Christ became a minister for the circumcision, for the truth of God, to fulfill what was promised to the fathers, and for the Gentiles, out of mercy, that they might glorify God, as it is written: Therefore I will praise Thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to Thy name. And again it is said, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people. And again: Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and glorify Him, all you nations. Isaiah also says, "There shall be the root of Jesse, and it shall arise to possess the nations; in Him the Gentiles will trust. And may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith, that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may be enriched in hope. And I myself am sure of you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, full of all knowledge, and able to instruct one another; but I have written to you, brethren, with a certain boldness, partly as a reminder to you, according to the grace given to me by God, to be a minister of Jesus Christ among the Gentiles, and to perform the sacred act of preaching the gospel of God, so that this offering of the Gentiles, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit, may be acceptable to God.

Romans 15:7–16

Wednesday of the 5th week

The Epistle to the Romans, conceived 118

Brethren, I can boast in Jesus Christ in matters pertaining to God, for I dare not say anything that Christ did not accomplish through me, in the subjection of the Gentiles to the faith, in word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that the gospel of Christ has been spread by me from Jerusalem and the environs to Illyricum. Moreover, I tried to preach the gospel not where the name of Christ was already known, so as not to build on someone else's foundation, but as it is written: Those who have not heard of Him will see, and those who have not heard will know. This is what has prevented me from coming to you many times. But now, not having such a place in these countries, but having long had a desire to come to you, as soon as I make my way to Spain, I will come to you. For I hope that as I pass I shall see you, and that you will accompany me thither, as soon as I shall enjoy my association with you, at least partially. And now I go to Jerusalem to minister to the saints, for Macedonia and Achaia are zealous with some alms for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. They are zealous, and they are indebted to them. For if the Gentiles have become partakers in their spirituality, then they must also serve them in the bodily. Having done this, and having faithfully delivered to them this fruit of zeal, I will go through your places to Spain, and I am sure that when I come to you, I will come with the full blessing of the gospel of Christ.

Послание к Римлянам, зачало 119

Братия, умоляю вас, братия, Господом нашим Иисусом Христом и любовью Духа, подвизаться со мною в молитвах за меня к Богу, чтобы избавиться мне от неверующих в Иудее и чтобы служение мое для Иерусалима было благоприятно святым, дабы мне в радости, если Богу угодно, прийти к вам и успокоиться с вами. Бог же мира да будет со всеми вами, аминь.
