Berean Standard Bible

Romans 15:4-13

4For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

5Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus, 6so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God. 8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs, 9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles;I will sing hymns to Your name.”1

10Again, it says:

“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”2

11And again:

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,and extol Him, all you peoples.”3

12And once more, Isaiah says:

“The Root of Jesse will appear,One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles;in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”4

13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
