Romans 15:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other. This will bring honor[a] to God. 8 I tell you that Christ became a servant of the Jews to show that God has done what he promised their great ancestors. 9 Christ also did this so that the non-Jewish people could praise God for the mercy he gives to them. The Scriptures say,
“So I will give thanks to you among the people of other nations;
I will sing praise to your name.” (A)
