Romans 15:9-21

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.”

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

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

12And again, Isaiah says, “There shall be a shoot of Jesse; and the One who arises to rule the Gentiles, in Him shall the Gentiles hope.”

13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and shalom in trusting, so you may overflow with hope in the power of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

14Now I myself am convinced about you, my brothers and sisters, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and also able to counsel one another.

15But I have written rather boldly to you on some points as a reminder—because of the grace given to me by God

16to be a servant of Messiah Yeshua to the Gentiles, in priestly service to the Good News of God—so that the offering up of the Gentiles might be pleasing, made holy by the Ruach ha-Kodesh.

17So in Messiah Yeshua, I have reason to boast before God.

18For I will not dare to speak of anything except what Messiah accomplished through me, to bring about the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

19in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem and around even to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the Good News of Messiah.

20In this way I make it my aim to proclaim the Good News not where Messiah was already named, lest I build on another person’s foundation,

21but as it is written, “Those who have never been told shall see, and those who have not heard shall understand.”
