1. If our faith is strong, we should be patient with the Lord's followers whose faith is weak. We should try to please them instead of ourselves.
2. We should think of their good and try to help them by doing what pleases them.
3. Even Christ did not try to please himself. But as the Scriptures say, “The people who insulted you also insulted me.”
25-26. I am now on my way to Jerusalem to deliver the money that the Lord's followers in Macedonia and Achaia collected for God's needy people.
