| Let each one of us please his neighbor for that which is good, to be building him up. | Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. |
| For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. | 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. |
|
| Now the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus. | May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had. |
| Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted you, to the glory of God. | Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. |
| Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit. | 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. |
| That I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and together with you, find rest. | So that I may come to you with joy, by God’s will, and in your company be refreshed. |
