Context of Romans 15:11

9He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them. That is what the psalmist meant when he wrote: “For this, I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing praises to your name.” 10And in another place it is written, “Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles.” And yet again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles. Praise him, all you people of the earth.” 12And in another place Isaiah said, “The heir to David’s throne will come, and he will rule over the Gentiles. They will place their hope on him.” 13I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

• 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. The Gentiles, being brought into the church, are companions in patience and tribulation. They should praise God. 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
