Romans 15:8-13
New International Version

8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[a](A) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(B) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(C) might glorify God(D) for his mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
    I will sing the praises of your name.”[b](E)

10 Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[c](F)

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
    let all the peoples extol him.”[d](G)

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The Root of Jesse(H) will spring up,
    one who will arise to rule over the nations;
    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[e](I)

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(J) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(K)

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.
