Romans 15:8-16

Thomson(i) 8 Now I say that, for the truth of God, Jesus Christ became the minister of circumcision, to confirm the promises made to the fathers; 9 and that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, "For this cause I will praise thee among the nations and sing to thy name." 10 And again it is said, "Rejoice, O nations, with his people." 11 And again, Praise the Lord, all ye nations: Praise him, all ye people, 12 also, And again Esaias saith, "There shall be the root of Jesse, even he who riseth up to rule nations; in him nations will put their trust. 13 Now may the God of this trust fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in this trust by virtue of a holy spirit. 14 Now as for me, I am persuaded, my brethren, with respect to you, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another; 15 nevertheless I have written to you, brethren, with more boldness, partly as your remembrancer, because of the favour which God hath granted me, 16 that I should be a ministering servant of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, and employed in the holy service of dispensing the glad tidings of God, that the offering of the Gentiles may be accepted, being hallowed by a holy spirit.
