Romans 15:5-13

Christian Standard Bible

⁵Now may the God who gives^[a] endurance and encouragement^(A) grant you to live in harmony with one another,^(B) according to Christ Jesus, ⁶so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ^(C) with one mind and one voice.

Glorifying God Together

⁷Therefore welcome one another,^(D) just as^[b] Christ also welcomed you, to the glory of God. ⁸For I say that Christ became a servant of the circumcised^[c] on behalf of God’s truth,^(E) to confirm the promises to the fathers,^(F) ⁹and so that Gentiles^(G) may glorify God for his mercy.^(H) As it is written,

Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and I will sing praise to your name.^[d]^(I)

¹⁰Again it says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people!^[e]^(J) ¹¹And again,

Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
let all the peoples praise him!^[f]^(K)

¹²And again, Isaiah says,

The root of Jesse^(L) will appear,
the one who rises to rule the Gentiles;
the Gentiles will hope in him.^[g]^(M)

¹³Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe^(N) so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.^(O)
