4. "Receive one who is weak in the faith,
but not to disputes over doubtful
things. For one believes he may eat
all things, but he who is weak eats
only vegetables. Let not him who eats
despise him who does not eat, and let
not him who does not eat judge him
who eats; for God has received him."
Romans 14:1-3
5. "Who are you to judge
another's servant? To his own
master he stands or falls.
Indeed, he will be made to
stand, for God is able to make
him stand. One person esteems
one day above another; another
esteems every day alike. Let
each be fully convinced in his
own mind. If you observe the
day, observe it to the Lord. If
you don't observe the day,
Romans 14:4-5 observe all the days to the
Lord”.

11. Do you have faith? Have it to
yourself before God. Happy is
he who does not condemn
himself in what he
approves. But he who doubts
is condemned if he eats,
because he does not eat from
faith; for whatever is not from
faith is sin".
Romans 14:22-23
18. Romans 15:5
“Now may the God
who gives
perseverance and
encouragement
grant you to be of
the same mind with
one another
according to Christ
Jesus,”
19. Romans 15:10
“Again he says,
‘Rejoice, O Gentiles,
with His people.’"
20. “And again, ‘Praise
the Lord all you
Gentiles, and let all
the peoples praise
Him.’"
Romans 15:11
21. “Now may the God of hope fill
you with all joy and peace in
believing, so that you will abound
in hope by the power of the Holy
Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
22. Paul’s Model ministry
Romans 15:17-20
“Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in
things pertaining to God.”
“For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ
has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the
Gentiles by word and deed,”
23. Paul’s Model ministry “in the power of signs
Romans 15:19 and wonders, in the
power of the Spirit; so
that from Jerusalem and
round about as far as
Illyricum I have fully
preached the gospel of
Christ.”
24. Paul’s Model ministry
“And thus I aspired Romans 15:20-21
to preach the gospel,
not where Christ was
already named, so
that I would not build
on another man's
foundation;”
“but as it is written,
‘They who had no
news of Him shall
see, and they who
have not heard shall
understand.’”
25. Paul’s Plan
“whenever I go to Romans 15:22-29
Spain--for I hope to
see you in passing,
and to be helped on
my way there by you,
when I have first
enjoyed your company
for a while—“
26. “Now I urge you, brethren,
by our Lord Jesus Christ
and by the love of the
Spirit, to strive together
with me in your prayers to
God for me,”
Romans 15:30
27. “that I may be
rescued from
those who are
disobedient in
Judea, and that
my service for
Jerusalem may
prove Romans 15:31
acceptable to
the saints;”
28. “Now the God of peace
be with you all. Amen.”
Romans 15:33
