Romans 15:4-13 For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope. ⁵ But may the God of patience and consolation grant unto you to think the same things among one another with reference to Christ Jesus. ⁶ In order that you may with one accord with one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁷ Therefore receive one another, as Christ also received you, to the glory of God. ⁸ For I say that Christ has been made minister of circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises of the fathers, ⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as has been written, Therefore I will confess thee among the Gentiles, and in thy name sing praises. ¹⁰ And again he says, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. ¹¹ And again, Let all the Gentiles praise the Lord; and let all ye peoples praise him. ¹² And again, Isaiah says, There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope. ¹³ And the God of hope fill you in all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Ghost.
