Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Christ, I mean, became a servant to the circumcised in order to prove God's honesty by fulfilling His promises to the fathers, ⁹ and also in order that the Gentiles should glorify God for His mercy — as it is written, Therefore will I offer praise to Thee among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name; ¹⁰ or again, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his People; ¹¹ or again, Extol the Lord, all Gentiles, let all the peoples praise him; ¹² or again, as Isaiah says, Then shall the Scion of Jessai live, he who rises to rule the Gentiles; on him shall the Gentiles set their hope. ¹³ May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in your faith, that you may be overflowing with hope by the power of the holy Spirit! ¹⁴ Personally I am quite certain, my brothers, that even as it is you have ample goodness of heart, you are filled with knowledge of every kind, and you are well able to give advice to one another. ¹⁵ Still, by way of refreshing your memory, I have written you with a certain freedom, in virtue of my divine commission ¹⁶ as a priest of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the service of God's gospel. My aim is to make the Gentiles an acceptable offering, consecrated by the holy Spirit.
