Romans 15:8-13
Amplified Bible
8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant and a minister to the circumcision (Jews) on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm and verify the promises made to the fathers, 9 and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy [to them, since God had no covenant with them]. As it is written and forever remains written,
“Therefore I praise You among the Gentiles,
And sing praises to Your name.”(A)
10 Again it says,
“Rejoice and celebrate, O Gentiles, along with His people.”(B)
11 And again,
“Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him!”(C)
12 Again Isaiah says,
“There shall be a root of [a]Jesse,
He who arises to rule [as King] over the Gentiles,
In Him shall the Gentiles hope.”(D)
13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.
