8 Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcised on behalf of the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: “For this reason I will acknowledge You among the Gentiles,and I will sing praises to Your name.”
10 He also says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”
11 And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;let all the peoples praise Him.”
12 And again Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse;He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,in Him shall the Gentiles hope.”
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Now I myself am persuaded concerning you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and also able to instruct one another.
