Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
Romans 15:2
This is loving our neighbors - serving them, pleasing them for their good.
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
Romans 15:4
Reading the Bible increases or endurance and hope!
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,
Romans 15:5
Not only reading the Bible but also God gives to us endurance and encouragement.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13
Amen! That is quite a blessing!
