Glorify God Together
7 Therefore (A)receive one another, just (B)as Christ also received [a]us, to the glory of God. 8 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, 9 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.”
