For Wednesday evening services, the Lord has led me to do a Bible study for practical Bible verses in Romans. Please come back to these Bible lessons in order to review them and learn them. Whenever we have learned the meaning of Bible verses and think about them throughout each day, we will be in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). Not only that, but when we are in a situation in our daily lives and are tempted to sin, we can think back to what we have learned from the Bible and say to ourselves, "The Bible says to not do what I am tempted to say, think, do, and/or desire right now, so I am going to refuse to give in to this temptation." This is what Romans 12:2 means, and it says, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." This is also the pattern that Jesus used when the devil tempted Him to sin in Matthew 4:1-11.

My copy and paste feature doesn't keep the words that are supposed to be italicized, so instead of me doing it manually, refer to a Bible to see which words are italicized.

​Romans 15:1-23

1We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. (See notes for Romans 14:21-22.) 2Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. (Instead of causing weak conscious Christians to sin, a mature Christian should encourage them to do good and to obey the Bible.) 3For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. (In similar fashion, Christ could have spent His time on earth focusing only on earthly comfort and goals, but His mission was to do what God wanted Him to do (John 6:38), such as encouraging people to do good and obeying God's commands, and to honor and defend Him.) 4For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, (Second Timothy 3:16 adds, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:") we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (A Christian can trust the Bible's promises and be encouraged; they should wait patiently for God to fulfill His promises.) 5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (If a Christian follows the previous verses, they will live in harmony with other Christians and be able to praise God together.)

7Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. (If Christians receive each other in such a manner, God will be glorified.)

​​

8Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

 

9And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

10And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.

11And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.

12And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.

​​

13Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. (When a Christian trusts God's promises and trusts Jesus' death on the cross and His shed blood to erase their sins, they will be filled with joy (They should have a sense of happiness all the time because they know they're going to heaven. They should even be happy when horrible things happen to them because they know life is temporary, and heaven is perfect and lasts forever.) and peace (They should have a relaxing confidence that they're going to heaven, even if they’re going through horrible trials (problems with their friends, family, job, church, mental and physical health, and financial problems etc. Things could get so bad, that it would seem as though God has abandoned them, but they should be confident that they still belong to God and are going to heaven.)

 

14And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. 15Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, 16That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. (When someone hears the gospel of God (how they can become a Christian) and believes and accepts it, they become an acceptable offering to God​, and the Holy Ghost enters them, which means God owns them, and they are given the ability to live the Christian lifestyle. (a lifestyle similar to the one explained in chapter 39 of the pdf file book featured at this website - www.areyousureyouaresaved.com)) 17I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God. 18For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 19Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. 20Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:

 

21But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.

22For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.

​​

23But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you; 24Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. 25But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. 26For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. 27It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. 28When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. 29And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

 

30Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 31That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints; 32That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. 33Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
