Haweis(i)
8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was the minister of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, "For this cause will I confess unto thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name."
10 And again he saith, "Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people."
11 And again, "Praise the Lord, all ye nations, and laud him, all ye people."
12 And again Isaiah saith, "There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to reign over the Gentiles, in him shall the Gentiles trust."
13 Now 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 Ghost.
14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able to admonish one another.
15 But I have written to you, my brethren, in part, with greater freedom, as refreshing your memory through the grace which is given to me of God;
16 that I should be the minister of Jesus Christ unto the Gentiles, ministering the Gospel of God; that the oblation of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17 I have therefore cause to glory in Christ Jesus with regard to the things of God.
18 For I will not dare to say any thing of those things which Christ hath not wrought by my ministry, to engage the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed,
19 by the power of signs and miracles, by the might of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and in a circle quite round unto Illyricum, I have fully spread the gospel of Christ.
