1. We who have strong faith should help the weak with their problems. We should not please only ourselves.
2. We should all please our neighbors. Let us do what is good for them. Let us build them up.
3. Even Christ did not please himself. It is written, "Those who make fun of you have made fun of me also." (Psalm 69:9)
4. Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They cheer us up and give us hope.
5. Our God is a God who strengthens you and cheers you up. May he help you agree with each other as you follow Christ Jesus.
6. Then you can give glory to God with one heart and voice. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7. Christ has accepted you. So accept one another in order to bring praise to God.
