Romans 15:8–12

⁸For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs, ⁹so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles;

I will sing hymns to Your name.”^b

¹⁰Again, it says:

“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”^c

¹¹And again:

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,

and extol Him, all you peoples.”^d

¹²And once more, Isaiah says:

“The Root of Jesse will appear,

One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles;

in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”^e
