Romans 15:7-13

7Receive one another, then, just as Christ also received you, to God’s glory.

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 fathers,

9and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name.”

10And again it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”

11And again, “Praise the Lord all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”

12And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, and the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles, in him will the Gentiles hope.”

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