ACV(i)
8 And I say, Christ Jesus became a helper of men of circumcision, for the sake of God's truth (in order to confirm the promises of the fathers),
9 and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.
10 And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him.
12 And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for ye to abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 And I also myself am persuaded about you, my brothers, that ye yourselves are also full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
15 But I wrote more boldly to you, brothers, in part, as reminding you because of the grace that was given to me by God,
16 for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, serving the good news of God like a priest, so that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, being sanctified in the Holy Spirit.
17 I have therefore a boast in Christ Jesus in things toward God.
18 For I will not dare to speak anything of which Christ did not accomplish through me for the obedience of Gentiles, by word and work,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of a Spirit of God, so that for me, from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, to fully preach the good news of Christ.
