Verse from Romans

“要与喜乐的人一同喜乐，与哀哭的人一同哀哭。”

‭‭罗马书‬ ‭12:15‬ ‭

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:15‬ ‭

The church, the family of God, is where all of life can be shared—the good and not-so-good. The New Testament words “one another” are used to capture our interdependence. “Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. . . . Live in harmony with one another” (Romans 12:10, 16). The extent of our connectedness is expressed in verse 15.

While the depth and scope of our pain may pale in comparison with those worse than ours, it’s nonetheless personal and real. And, with our pain, because of what God has done for us it can be embraced and shared for the comfort and good of others.
