Romans 15:7-13

Common English Bible

⁷So welcome each other, in the same way that Christ also welcomed you, for God’s glory. ⁸I’m saying that Christ became a servant of those who are circumcised for the sake of God’s truth, in order to confirm the promises given to the ancestors, ⁹and so that the Gentiles could glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles,
and I will sing praises to your name.^[a]

¹⁰And again, it says,

Rejoice, Gentiles, with his people.^[b]

¹¹And again,

Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and all the people should sing his praises.^[c]

¹²And again, Isaiah says,

There will be a root of Jesse,
who will also rise to rule the Gentiles.
The Gentiles will place their hope in him.^[d]

¹³May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in faith so that you overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
