I tell you that Christ became a servant of the Jews. This was to show that God’s promises to the Jewish ancestors are true. And he also did this so that the non-Jews could give glory to God for the mercy he gives to them. It is written in the Scriptures:

“So I will praise you among the non-Jewish people.
    I will sing praises to your name.” Psalm 18:49

10 The Scripture also says,

“Be happy, you non-Jews, together with God’s people.” Deuteronomy 32:43

11 Again the Scripture says,

“All you non-Jews, praise the Lord.
    All you people, sing praises to him.” Psalm 117:1

12 And Isaiah says,

“A new king will come from Jesse’s family.[a]
    He will come to rule over the non-Jews;
and the non-Jews will have hope because of him.” Isaiah 11:10

13 I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in him. Then your hope will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit.
