Romans 15:8-13
World English Bible
8 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers, 9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
“Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles
and sing to your name.”
10 Again he says,
“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
11 Again,
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Let all the peoples praise him.”
12 Again, Isaiah says,
“There will be the root of Jesse,
he who arises to rule over the Gentiles;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:8-13
International Standard Version
8 For I tell you that the Messiah[a] became a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth in order to confirm the promises given to our ancestors, 9 so that the gentiles may glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
10 Again he says,[d]
“Rejoice, you gentiles, with his people!”[e]
11 And again,
12 And again, Isaiah says,
“There will be a Root[i] from Jesse.
He will rise up to rule the gentiles,
and the gentiles will hope in him.”[j]
13 Now may God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you believe, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
