For I say that Christ has become a servant to (A)the circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, to confirm (B)the promises given to the fathers, and for (C)the Gentiles to (D)glorify God for His mercy; as it is written:

(E)Therefore I will [a]give praise to You among the Gentiles,
And I will sing praises to Your name.”

10 Again he says,

(F)Rejoice, you Gentiles, with His people.”

11 And again,

(G)Praise the Lord all you Gentiles,
And let all the peoples praise Him.”

12 Again Isaiah says,

(H)There shall come (I)the root of Jesse,
And He who arises to rule over the Gentiles,
(J)In Him will the Gentiles hope.”

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all (K)joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope (L)by the power of the Holy Spirit.

  1. Romans 15:9 Or confess

For I say that Christ hath been made a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given unto the fathers, and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written,

[a]Therefore will I [b]give praise unto thee among the [c]Gentiles,
And sing unto thy name.

10 And again he saith,

[d]Rejoice, ye [e]Gentiles, with his people.

11 And again,

[f]Praise the Lord, all ye [g]Gentiles;
And let all the peoples praise him.

12 And again, Isaiah saith,

[h]There shall be the root of Jesse,
And he that ariseth to rule over the [i]Gentiles;
On him shall the [j]Gentiles hope.

13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.
