WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ Now I say that Christ Jesus has become a minister to the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers; ⁹ and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: “For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, O LORD, and will sing psalms to your name.” ¹⁰ And again He says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!” ¹¹ And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and laud Him, all you peoples!” ¹² And again, Isaiah says: “The Root of Jesse will appear, even He who rises up to rule over the nations; the Gentiles will place their hope on Him.” ¹³ Now may the God of the hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in that hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ¹⁴ Now I myself am really confident about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others. ¹⁵ Nevertheless I have written to you quite boldly on some points, brothers, as a reminder to you, because of the grace given to me by God, ¹⁶ that I should be a minister of Jesus Christ to the nations, serving the Gospel of God as a priest so that the Gentiles might become an acceptable offering, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
