Context of Romans 15:7

5Now may the God of patience and encouragement grant you to be like-minded with one another in the manner of Messiah Yeshua, 6so that together with one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. Therefore accept one another just as Messiah also accepted you, to the glory of God. 8For I declare that Messiah has become a servant to the circumcised for the sake of God’s truth, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs 9and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy. As it is written, “For this reason I will give You praise among the Gentiles, and I will sing to Your name.”
