Romans 15:8-13
English Standard Version
Christ the Hope of Jews and Gentiles
8 For I tell you that Christ (A)became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order (B)to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(D)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11 And again,
(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
(G)(H)“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
(I)in him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 May the God of hope fill you with all (J)joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Romans 15:8-13
Common English Bible
8 I’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, 9 and 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]
10 And again, it says,
Rejoice, Gentiles, with his people.[b]
11 And again,
Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and all the people should sing his praises.[c]
12 And 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]
13 May 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.
