Context of Romans 15:11

9The Gentiles also praise God because he has been kind to them. This is written in the Bible: ‘I will tell the Gentiles about you, God. I will praise you with songs, to show how great you are.’ 10It says also in the Bible: ‘Be very happy, you Gentiles! Praise God together with his people.’ It also says this: ‘Say how great the Lord is, all you Gentiles. All people, from every country, should say how great he is.’ 12God's prophet Isaiah says this: ‘The root of Jesse will arrive. He will come to rule the Gentiles. The Gentiles will trust him to save them.’ 13God is the one who causes us to hope for good things. I pray that God will bless you very much. I pray that he will cause you to be happy and to have peace in your minds. He will do this because you believe in him. As a result, God's Holy Spirit will make you strong with his power, so that you hope even more certainly.

Commentaries on Romans 15:11

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11And again - Psalm 117:1. The object in this quotation is the same as before. The apostle accumulates quotations to show that it was the common language of the Old Testament, and that he was not depending on a single expression for the truth of his doctrine. All ye Gentiles - In the psalm, “all ye nations;” but the original is the same. And laud him - “Praise” him. The psalm is directly in point. It is a call on “all” nations to praise God; the very point…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 8-13Verses 8-13 Christ fulfilled the prophecies and promises relating to the Jews, and the Gentile converts could have no excuse for despising them.

Calling upon all the nations to praise the Lord, shows that they shall have knowledge of him. We shall never seek to Christ till we trust in him. And the whole plan of redemption is suited to reconcile…Read the comment

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 8-128-12. Now--"For" is the true reading: the apostle is merely assigning an additional motive to Christian forbearance. I say that Jesus Christ was--"hath become" a minister of the circumcision--a remarkable expression, meaning "the Father's Servant for the salvation of the circumcision (or, of Israel)." for the truth of God--to make good the veracity of God towards His ancient people. to confirm the--Messianic promises made unto the fathers--To cheer the…Read the comment
