Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (A)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (B)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(D)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(G)(H)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(I)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all (J)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 (K)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with (L)all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, (M)because of the grace given me by God 16 to be (N)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles (O)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that (P)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him (E)of whom they have never heard?[a] And how are they to hear (F)without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, (G)“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But (H)they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, (I)“Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So (J)faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
