Now I say that (A)Jesus Christ has become a [a]servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, (B)to confirm the promises made to the fathers, and (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:

(D)“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name.”

10 And again he says:

(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”

11 And again:

(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!”

12 And again, Isaiah says:

(G)“There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”

  1. Romans 15:8 minister

λεγω δε ιησουν χριστον διακονον γεγενησθαι περιτομης υπερ αληθειας θεου εις το βεβαιωσαι τας επαγγελιας των πατερων

τα δε εθνη υπερ ελεους δοξασαι τον θεον καθως γεγραπται δια τουτο εξομολογησομαι σοι εν εθνεσιν και τω ονοματι σου ψαλω

10 και παλιν λεγει ευφρανθητε εθνη μετα του λαου αυτου

11 και παλιν αινειτε τον κυριον παντα τα εθνη και επαινεσατε αυτον παντες οι λαοι

12 και παλιν ησαιας λεγει εσται η ριζα του ιεσσαι και ο ανισταμενος αρχειν εθνων επ αυτω εθνη ελπιουσιν

And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,

and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,'

10 and again it saith, `Rejoice ye nations, with His people;'

11 and again, `Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him, all ye peoples;'

12 and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations -- upon him shall nations hope;'

For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[a](A) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(B) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles(C) might glorify God(D) for his mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
    I will sing the praises of your name.”[b](E)

10 Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[c](F)

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
    let all the peoples extol him.”[d](G)

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The Root of Jesse(H) will spring up,
    one who will arise to rule over the nations;
    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[e](I)
