7. READ: ROMANS 15:1-7
[Romans 15:1] "We who are strong ought to bear with the
failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. [2] Each of us
should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. [3] For
even Christ did not please Himself but, as it is written:
'The insults of those who insult You have fallen on
Me,' [Psalm 69:9]. [4] For everything that was
written in the past was written to teach us, so that through
endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have
hope.
[5] "May the God Who gives endurance and encouragement
give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ
Jesus, [6] so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[7] "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted
you, in order to bring praise to God."
a. Why should we try to please our neighbor?
b. What kind of spirit should we have among ourselves?
c. How should we accept one another?
