Romans 15:8-13
New American Standard Bible
8 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, 9 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.

“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people”;
