Romans 15:2-4

Amplified Bible

² Let each one of us [make it a practice to] please his ^[a]neighbor for his good, to build him up spiritually. ³ For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written [in Scripture], “The reproaches of those who reproached You (the Father) fell on Me (the Son).”^{(A) 4} For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.
