Romans 15:8-13
New International Version
8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[a](A) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(B) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(C) might glorify God(D) for his mercy. As it is written:
10 Again, it says,
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse(H) will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”[e](I)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(J) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(K)

Romans 15:8-13
International Standard Version
8 For I tell you that the Messiah[a] became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth in order to confirm the promises given to our ancestors, 9 so that the gentiles may glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
10 Again he says,[d]
“Rejoice, you gentiles, with his people!”[e]
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“There will be a Root[i] from Jesse.
He will rise up to rule the gentiles,
and the gentiles will hope in him.”[j]
13 Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

King James Version
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
