Now I say that (A)Jesus Christ has become a [a]servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, (B)to confirm the promises made to the fathers, and (C)that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:

(D)“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name.”

10 And again he says:

(E)“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”

11 And again:

(F)“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!”

12 And again, Isaiah says:

(G)“There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”

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

  1. Romans 15:8 minister

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.
