1. We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves;
2. let each of us please our neighbor for the good, for building up.
3. For Christ did not please himself; but, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you fall upon me.”
4. For whatever was written previously was written for our instruction, that by endurance and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
