Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Seeing that I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you.

For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?

Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to arouse its desires.

So then, let us pursue what makes for peace and for building up one another.

But we who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak, and not just please ourselves.

Let each of us please his neighbor for his good to build him up.
