of hope fill you with all joy and peace in
believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

6 [15:14]And I am persuaded, my brothers, even I myself, concerning
you, that you are full of kindness, filled with all knowledge, and able
to admonish one another; [15:15]but I have written more boldly to you
in part, to refresh your minds on account of the grace given me by God
[15:16]that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the nations,
administering as a priest the gospel of God, that the offering of the
nations may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. [15:17]I have
therefore cause of boasting in Christ Jesus in respect to things
relating to God; [15:18]for I dare not to speak of what Christ has not
performed by me for the obedience of the nations, by word and work,
[15:19]by the power of miracles and prodigies, by the power of the

Macedonia and Achaia have been pleased to make some contribution for
the poor of the saints at Jerusalem. [15:27]They have been pleased
indeed, and their debtors they are; for if the nations have
participated in their spiritual things, they ought also to serve them
in things pertaining to the flesh. [15:28]Having therefore performed
this, and sealed to them this service, I will go by you to Spain;
[15:29]and I know that when I come to you I shall come in the fullness
of the blessing of Christ. [15:30]But I exhort you by the Lord Jesus
Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in
prayers to God for me, [15:31]that I may be delivered from those that
