Make Una Welcome Una Sef
The strong people dey carry the weak ones instead of to please demself, and Christ wey welcome Gentiles for our Papa glory na the proof. Then Paul talk about imself: im ambition to preach for where dem never hear Christ name, collection of help for Jerusalem poor people, and im hope to pass through Rome go Spain.
15 1We wey strong suppose carry di weakness of dem wey weak, no be say we go dey please only ourselves. 2Make each one of us please im neighbor for im own good, so as to build am up. 3Because even Christ no please imsef; as dem write am, “Di insult wey people wey dey insult you throw, e fall on top me.” 4Everytin wey dem write before, dem write am to teach us, so that through patience and through di encouragement wey Scripture dey give, we go fit get hope. 5Make our Papa, wey dey give patience and encouragement, give una one mind with each other, according to Christ Jesus, 6so that togeda, with one voice, una go glorify our Papa, di Papa of our Oga Jesus Christ.
7So make una welcome una sef, just as Christ too welcome una, for di glory of our Papa. 8Because I dey tell una say Christ become servant to di people wey dem circumcise, to show our Papa im truth and to confirm di promise wey E make to di ancestors, 9and so that di nations go glorify our Papa for im mercy, as dem write am, “Na why I go praise you among di nations, and sing to your name.”
10And again e talk, “Make una rejoice, una nations, togeda with im people.”
11And again, “Praise our Papa, all una nations, and make all di people dem praise am.” a a v11 Dis line quote one psalm wey dey call every nation for di earth to praise di One wey FHB dey call our Papa from beginning to end.
12Again Isaiah talk say: “Di root of Jesse go come, e go rise to rule di nations; di nations go put dia hope for am.”
13Make our Papa, wey be di source of hope, fill una with all joy and peace through faith, so that through di power of di Holy Spirit una go dey overflow with hope. b b v13 Joy and peace no dey come from person wey dey struggle tire imsef. Dem dey come “as person dey believe” — as you dey rest for wetin our Papa don promise.
Our Papa Grace for Paul Mission
14My brothers and sisters, I sure about una say una sef full with goodness, full with all knowledge, and una fit teach una sef. 15But I don write to una with small boldness for some tin, to remind una, because of di grace wey our Papa give me, 16to be Christ Jesus im minister to di nations, one priest of our Papa im gospel, so that di offering of di nations go dey acceptable, wey di Holy Spirit make holy. 17So for inside Christ Jesus, I get reason to boast about my work for our Papa. 18Because I no go dare talk about anytin except wetin Christ don do through me to bring di nations to obedience, by word and by wetin I do. 19By di power of signs and wonders, by di power of di Spirit of our Papa, I don preach di gospel of Christ complete-complete from Jerusalem go round reach Illyricum. 20So I make am my aim to preach di gospel for where dem never call Christ im name, so that I no go build on top anoda person foundation, 21but as dem write am: “Dem wey dem never tell about am go see, and dem wey never hear go understand.”
22Na dis one dey stop me plenty times from coming to una.
Paul Plan Say E Go Visit Rome
23But now, as I no get any more place to work for dis regions, and as I don dey long for many years to come to una, 24I dey hope say I go see una as I dey pass on my way go Spain, and make una send me forward for my journey go there, after I don enjoy una company for small time. 25But for now I dey go Jerusalem, to carry help go give our Papa im people. 26Macedonia and Achaia gladly gather contribution for di poor people among our Papa im people for Jerusalem. 27Dem happy to do am, and true-true dem owe am. Because since di nations share for Israel im spiritual blessing, di nations owe di people of Jerusalem material support in return. 28So after I don finish dis one and safely deliver dis collection give dem, I go comot go Spain pass through una. 29I know say when I come una, I go come with Christ im full blessing.
30Brothers and sisters, by our Oga Jesus Christ and by di love of di Spirit, I dey beg una make una join me struggle togeda for una prayers to our Papa for me, 31so that dem go rescue me from di people for Judea wey no believe, and my service for Jerusalem go please our Papa im people, 32so that, by di will of our Papa, I go come una with joy and rest togeda with una. 33Make our Papa, wey be di source of peace, dey with all of una. Amen.
