RKJNT(i)
8 Now I say that Christ became a minister to the circumcised for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.
10 And again he says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and praise him, all you people.
12 And again, Isaiah says, The root of Jesse shall come, and he shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles hope.
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
14 And I myself am also convinced about you, my brethren, that you are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and able also to admonish one another.
15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as a reminder, because of the grace given to me by God,
16 That I should be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, in the priestly service of the gospel of God, that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore, through Jesus Christ I have reason to glory in my work for God.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any work except what Christ has done through me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
19 Through the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
