Rom 15:7-13
God’s Fidelity and Mercy.* 7Welcome one another, then, as Christ welcomed you, for the glory of God.f 8For I say that Christ became a minister of the circumcised to show God’s truthfulness, to confirm the promises to the patriarchs,g 9but so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
“Therefore, I will praise you among the Gentiles
and sing praises to your name.”h
10And again it says:i
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”*
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples praise him.”j
“The root of Jesse shall come,
raised up to rule the Gentiles;
in him shall the Gentiles hope.”k
13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the holy Spirit.l
