1 We, then, who are mature, ought to
bear with the failings of the immature, and not to please ourselves (by
exercising our liberty in front them). 2 Let each one
of us please his brothers, for righteousness to the building of The
Spiritual Temple of Yahuah (I Corinthians 6:19,
II Corinthians 6:16, Ephesians 2:19-22, I Peter 2:5).
I
Corinthians 6:19
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Spirit of Yahuah
who is in you, whom you have from Yahuah?
II
Corinthians 6:16
… For we are the temple of the living Elohim; just as Yahuah said,
“I will dwell in them and walk among them; and I will be their
Elohim, and they shall be My people.”
Ephesians 2:19-22
So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow
citizens with the saints, and are of Yahuah’s household, having been
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, the Messiah
Yahusha Himself being the corner stone (of the
Temple of Yahuah), in whom the whole building, being fitted
together is growing into a Holy Temple of Yahuah; in whom you also
are being built together into a dwelling of Yahuah in the Spirit.
I
Peter 2:5
You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual temple
3 For even Yahusha did not please
himself, but as it is written (Psalm 69:9):
“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell upon me”. 4
For whatever Laws were written in stone in former times were written for
our training in Spiritual Intent (2 Timothy
3:16),
2
Timothy 3:16
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful
for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training
in righteousness (which is the intent
of your heart 1 Samuel 16:7, Jeremiah 17:10, Luke 16:15, Acts 1:24),
that we, through endurance and the comfort of the
Scriptures, might have hope.
5 Now may the Father Who gives
endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves
as you follow in the footsteps of Yahusha the Messiah; 6 So
that with one heart and mouth you may glorify Yahuah, the Father of our
King, Yahusha the Messiah. 7 Therefore, accept one another
just as Yahusha also accepted us, to the glory of Yahuah. 8
Now I tell you that Yahusha the Messiah has become a servant to the
circumcision; the House of Judah, on behalf of Yahuah's truth, to
confirm the promises made to our forefathers; 9 And that the
Lost Sheep among the Gentiles might glorify Yahuah for His mercy, as it
is written (Psalm 18:49): “For this
reason, I will confess You among the Gentiles and sing praise to Your
Name.” 10 Again, it says (Deuteronomy
32:43): “Rejoice, O Lost Sheep among the Gentiles, with (the
rest of) His people! 11 And again (Psalm
117:1): “Praise Yahuah, all you who are lost among the
Gentiles! And sing praises to Him, all you tribes (of
Jacob)!” 12 And again, Isaiah says (Isaiah
11:1): “There will be a root of Jesse; and He will rise to
reign over the House of Israel dispersed among the Gentiles, in him will
the Elect among the Gentiles hope.” 13 Now may the Father
of hope fill you with great joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that
you may abound with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Now I myself am convinced, my
brothers, that you yourselves are full of righteousness, complete in
knowledge, and competent to instruct one another. 15
Nevertheless, brothers, I have written you quite boldly on some points,
as if to remind you of them again (obviously
Sha’ul wrote many letters to the Assembly in Rome we no longer have),
because of the undeserved mercy given to me by Yahuah; 16
That I might be a minister of Yahusha Messiah to the House of Israel
dispersed among the Gentiles, with the priestly duty of proclaiming the
message of Yahuah, so that the Lost Sheep among the Gentiles might
become an offering acceptable to Yahuah, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore, I have reason to glory through Yahusha the
Messiah in the things which pertain to Yahuah. 18 I will not
venture to speak of anything except what Yahusha has accomplished
through me, in word and deed, to teach The House of Israel among the
Gentiles obedience to Yahuah-- 19 In mighty signs and
wonders, through the power of the Spirit of Yahuah; so that from
Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the
message of Yahuah. 20 And so I have strived; made it my
ambition, to preach the message, not where Yahusha was named (House
of Judah), so that I should not be building on someone else's
foundation, 21 But as it is written (Isaiah
52:15): “To whom He was not announced, they will see; and
those who have not heard, will understand”.
22 For this reason I have often been
hindered from coming to you. 23 But now there is no more
place for me to work in these regions, and since I have been longing for
many years to see you, 24 I plan to do so when I go to Spain.
For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way there by
you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while. 25 But
now I am going to Jerusalem to minister to the saints. 26 For
it pleased those from Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain
contribution for the poor among the saints in Jerusalem. 27
They were pleased to do so, and indeed, they owe it to them. For if
The Lost Sheep of the House of Israel among the Gentiles have shared
in the spiritual blessings of the House of Judah, they owe it to the
House of Judah to share with them their material blessings. 28
Therefore, when I have completed this task, and have made sure that they
have received their fruit, I will go to Spain and visit you on the way.
29 But I am sure that, when I come to you, I will come in the
full measure of the blessing of the message of Yahusha. 30
Now I beg you, brothers, through our King, Yahusha the Messiah, and
through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your
prayers to Yahuah for me; 31 That I may be delivered from
those in Judea who do not believe; and that my service in Jerusalem may
be acceptable to the saints there; 32 And that I may come to
you with joy by the will of Yahuah, and may be refreshed together with
you. 33 Now the Father of peace be with you all.
HalleluYahuah!
