Romans 15:8-16

MLV(i) 8 But I am saying that Christ Jesus has become a servant of the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers, 9 and that the Gentiles are to glorify God on behalf of his mercy; as it has been written, ‘Because of this, I will profess you among the Gentiles and sing-praise to your name.’ 10 And again he says, ‘Gentiles be joyous with his people.’ 11 And again, ‘Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.’ 12 And again, Isaiah says, ‘There will be the root of Jesse and he who raised up to rule over the Gentiles; upon him the Gentiles will hope.’ 13 Now the God of hope may fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, that you may abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 And my brethren, I also have confidence in myself concerning you, that you yourselves are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, being able also to admonish one another. 15 But I wrote more-daringly to you brethren individually, as reminding you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God, 16 that I might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, having done the sacred work of the good-news of God, in order that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, having been made holy in the Holy Spirit.
