Therefore, [a](A)accept one another, just as Christ also accepted [b]us, for the glory of God. 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, 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.”

When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw (A)underneath the (B)altar the (C)souls of those who had been killed (D)because of the word of God, and because of the (E)testimony which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(F)How long, O [a](G)Lord, (H)holy and true, [b]will You refrain from (I)judging and avenging our blood on (J)those who live on the earth?” 11 And a (K)white robe was given to each of them; and they were told that they were to (L)rest for a little while longer, (M)until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters who were to be killed even as they had been, was (N)completed also.
