Romans 15:4-14
New American Standard Bible
4 For (A)whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 Now may the (B)God [a]who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you (C)to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one purpose and one [b]voice you may glorify (D)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Therefore, [c](E)accept one another, just as Christ also accepted [d]us, for the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ has become a servant to (F)the circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, to confirm (G)the promises given to the fathers, 9 and for (H)the Gentiles to (I)glorify God for His mercy; as it is written:
“(J)Therefore I will [e]give praise to You among the Gentiles,
And I will sing praises to Your name.”
10 Again he says,
“(K)Rejoice, you Gentiles, with His people.”
11 And again,
“(L)Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him.”
12 Again Isaiah says,
“(M)There shall come (N)the root of Jesse,
And He who arises to rule over the Gentiles,
(O)In Him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all (P)joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope (Q)by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 And concerning you, my brothers and sisters, I myself also am convinced that you yourselves are full of (R)goodness, filled with (S)all knowledge and able also to admonish one another.

Romans 15:4-14
New International Version
4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,(A) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(B) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(C) the God and Father(D) of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Accept one another,(E) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[a](F) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(G) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(H) might glorify God(I) for his mercy. As it is written:
10 Again, it says,
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse(M) will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”[e](N)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(O) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(P)
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,(Q) filled with knowledge(R) and competent to instruct one another.
