Romans 15:4-13
Christian Standard Bible
4 For whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction,(A) so that we may have hope through endurance and through the encouragement from the Scriptures. 5 Now may the God who gives[a] endurance and encouragement(B) grant you to live in harmony with one another,(C) according to Christ Jesus, 6 so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ(D) with one mind and one voice.
Glorifying God Together
7 Therefore welcome one another,(E) just as[b] Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God. 8 For I say that Christ became a servant of the circumcised[c] on behalf of God’s truth,(F) to confirm the promises to the fathers,(G) 9 and so that Gentiles(H) may glorify God for his mercy.(I) As it is written,
10 Again it says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people![e](K) 11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
The root of Jesse(M) will appear,
the one who rises to rule the Gentiles;
the Gentiles will hope in him.[g](N)
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe(O) so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(P)
