Romans 15:8-15

New International Version

⁸For 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 ⁹and, 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)

¹⁰Again, it says,

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

¹¹And again,

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

¹²And 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)

¹³May 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)

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

¹⁴I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,^(L) filled with knowledge^(M) and competent to instruct one another. ¹⁵Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me^(N)
