Romans 15:7-16
New American Standard Bible
7 Therefore, [a](A)accept one another, just as Christ also accepted [b]us, for the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ has become a servant to (B)the circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, to confirm (C)the promises given to the fathers, 9 and for (D)the Gentiles to (E)glorify God for His mercy; as it is written:
“(F)Therefore I will [c]give praise to You among the Gentiles,
And I will sing praises to Your name.”
10 Again he says,
“(G)Rejoice, you Gentiles, with His people.”
11 And again,
“(H)Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him.”
12 Again Isaiah says,
“(I)There shall come (J)the root of Jesse,
And He who arises to rule over the Gentiles,
(K)In Him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all (L)joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope (M)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 (N)goodness, filled with (O)all knowledge and able also to admonish one another. 15 But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of (P)the grace that was given to me [d]from God, 16 to be (Q)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the (R)gospel of God, so that my (S)offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:7-16
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:
10 Again, it says,
11 And again,
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)
Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,(M) filled with knowledge(N) and competent to instruct one another. 15 Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me(O) 16 to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.(P) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,(Q) so that the Gentiles might become an offering(R) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
