8 For I say that Jesus Christ has been made a minister of the circumcision, for the sake of God's truth, in order to confirm the promises made to the fathers;
9 and that the Gentiles should glorify God for his mercy; as it is written: For this cause I will give thee praise among Gentiles. And to thy name will sing.
10 And again he says: Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again: Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; And extol him, all ye peoples.
12 And again, Isaiah says: There shall be the root of Jesse, And he who rises up to rule the Gentiles; On him will Gentiles hope.
13 And the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
15 But I wrote the more boldly to you, brethren, in part as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God;
16 that I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest in the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles may be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 I have therefore my glorying in Christ Jesus, as to things pertaining to God.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any of the things which Christ wrought not through me, to bring the Gentiles to obedience, by word and deed,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Holy Spirit; so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have fully preached the good news of Christ;
