For I am saying that Christ became a servant of those who are circumcised for the sake of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs. He also did this so that the Gentiles would glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:

For this reason I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and I will sing to your name.[a]

10 And again it says:

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

11 And again:

Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples give him praise.[c]

12 And again Isaiah says:
There will be a Root of Jesse,
and he is the one who will rise up to rule the Gentiles;
on him the Gentiles will place their hope.[d]
