In context
1We who are strong ought to carry the weaknesses of those who are not, instead of pleasing ourselves. 2Each of us should please his neighbor, for the neighbor’s good, to build him up. 3For even the Christ did not please himself; as it stands written: “The insults of those who insult you fell on me.” 4Whatever was written before was written to teach us, so that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might keep our hope.
