Romans 15:4-13

4For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

5Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

6that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

8Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers,

9and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: “For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name.”

10And again he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”

11And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!”

12And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”

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