20 For since the creation of the world (A)His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [a]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but (B)became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,(A) so that people are without excuse.(B)

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.(C)

Glorify God Together

Therefore (A)receive one another, just (B)as Christ also received [a]us, to the glory of God. Now I say that (C)Jesus Christ has become a [b]servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, (D)to confirm the promises made to the fathers, and (E)that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:

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

10 And again he says:

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

11 And again:

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

12 And again, Isaiah says:

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

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all (J)joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

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

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

10 Again, it says,

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

11 And again,

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

12 And again, Isaiah says,

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

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(K) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(L)
