Bearing Others’ Burdens (Romans 15:1-6) New Living and Good News Translations

NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
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 other believers 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. 
5  And may God, the source of patience and encouragement, enable you to have the same point of view among yourselves by following the example of Christ Jesus, 
6  so that all of you together may praise with one voice the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  

GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
1  We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 
2  Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification. 
3  For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”
4  For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 
5  Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 
6  that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
