Romans 15:7-13
New Testament for Everyone

United praise under the Messiah’s universal rule

7 Welcome one another, therefore, as the Messiah has welcomed you, to God’s glory. 8 Let me tell you why: the Messiah became a servant of the circumcised people in order to demonstrate the truthfulness of God—that is, to confirm the promises to the patriarchs, 9 and to bring the nations to praise God for his mercy. As the Bible says:

That is why I will praise you among the nations,
and will sing to your name.

10 And again it says,

Rejoice, you nations, with his people.

11 And again,

Praise the Lord, all nations,
and let all the peoples sing his praise.

12 And Isaiah says once more:

There shall be the root of Jesse,
the one who rises up to rule the nations;
the nations shall hope in him.

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the holy spirit.

Romans 15:7-13
New International Version

7 Accept one another,(A) 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](B) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(C) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 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)
