Romans 15:4-13
-
4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
-
5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
-
6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-
7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
-
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
-
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
-
10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
-
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
-
12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
-
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
