1. We who are strong in the faith ought to help the weak to carry their burdens. We should not please ourselves.
2. Instead, we should all please our brothers and sisters for their own good, in order to build them up in the faith.
3. For Christ did not please himself. Instead, as the scripture says, “The insults which are hurled at you have fallen on me.”
4. Everything written in the Scriptures was written to teach us, in order that we might have hope through the patience and encouragement which the Scriptures give us.
