Romans 15:10-19

New International Version

¹⁰Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”^[a]^(A)

¹¹And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
let all the peoples extol him.”^[b]^(B)

¹²And again, Isaiah says,

“The Root of Jesse^(C) will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”^[c]^(D)

¹³May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace^(E) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.^(F)

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

¹⁴I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,^(G) filled with knowledge^(H) and competent to instruct one another. ¹⁵Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me^(I) ¹⁶to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.^(J) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,^(K) so that the Gentiles might become an offering^(L) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus^(M) in my service to God.^(N) ¹⁸I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles^(O) to obey God^(P) by what I have said and done— ¹⁹by the power of signs and wonders,^(Q) through the power of the Spirit of God.^(R) So from Jerusalem^(S) all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.^(T)

Psalm 129-130

New International Version

Psalm 129

A song of ascents.

¹“They have greatly oppressed^(A) me from my youth,”^(B)
    let Israel say;^(C)
²“they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
    but they have not gained the victory^(D) over me.
³Plowmen have plowed my back
    and made their furrows long.
⁴But the Lord is righteous;^(E)
    he has cut me free^(F) from the cords of the wicked.”^(G)

⁵May all who hate Zion^(H)
    be turned back in shame.^(I)
⁶May they be like grass on the roof,^(J)
    which withers^(K) before it can grow;
⁷a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,^(L)
    nor one who gathers fill his arms.
⁸May those who pass by not say to them,
    “The blessing of the Lord be on you;
    we bless you^(M) in the name of the Lord.”

Psalm 130

A song of ascents.

¹Out of the depths^(N) I cry to you,^(O) Lord;
² Lord, hear my voice.^(P)
Let your ears be attentive^(Q)
to my cry for mercy.^(R)

³If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?^(S)
⁴But with you there is forgiveness,^(T)
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.^(U)

⁵I wait for the Lord,^(V) my whole being waits,^(W)
    and in his word^(X) I put my hope.
⁶I wait for the Lord
    more than watchmen^(Y) wait for the morning,
    more than watchmen wait for the morning.^(Z)

⁷Israel, put your hope^(AA) in the Lord,
    for with the Lord is unfailing love^(AB)
    and with him is full redemption.^(AC)
⁸He himself will redeem^(AD) Israel
    from all their sins.^(AE)
