Romans 15:2-4

EasyEnglish Bible

² Instead, each of us should do things that will make other believers happy. We should help them to trust God more strongly. ³ Even Christ did not just do things that would make himself happy. It is written in the Bible that he said this: ‘People have insulted you, God. In that way they have also insulted me.’^[a]

⁴ Everything that people wrote in the Bible in past times is there to teach us something. Those words help us to be patient and strong. As a result, we can trust God to do what he has promised.
