Psalm 115:1-11(ESV)
To Your Name Give Glory
1
Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
2
Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
3
Our God is in the heavens;
he does all that he pleases.
4
Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
5
They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
6
They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
7
They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
8
Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.
9
O Israel, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
10
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
11
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
Romans 15:14-33(ESV)
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14
I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness,
filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have
written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God 16 to be
a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that
the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus,
then, I have reason to be proud of my work for God. 18 For I will not venture to speak of
anything except what Christ has accomplished through me to bring the Gentiles to obedience
- by word and deed, 19 by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God so that from Jerusalem and all the way around to Illyricum I have fulfilled the ministry of the
gospel of Christ; 20 and thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has
already been named, lest I build on someone else's foundation, 21 but as it is written,
“Those who have never been told of him will see,
and those who have never heard will understand.”
Paul's Plan to Visit Rome
22
This is the reason why I have so often been hindered from coming to you. 23 But now, since
I no longer have any room for work in these regions, and since I have longed for many years
to come to you, 24 I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my
journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while. 25 At present, however,
I am going to Jerusalem bringing aid to the saints. 26 For Macedonia and Achaia have been
pleased to make some contribution for the poor among the saints at Jerusalem. 27 For they
were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have come to share
in their spiritual blessings, they ought also to be of service to them in material
blessings. 28 When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been
collected, I will leave for Spain by way of you. 29 I know that when I come to you I will come
in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
30
I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive
together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf, 31 that I may be delivered from the
unbelievers in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints, 32 so
that by God's will I may come to you with joy and be refreshed in your company. 33 May the
God of peace be with you all. Amen.
