Romans 15:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 15:5

3 ^aFor even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, ^b“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”

4 For ^awhatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the¹ patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

5 ^aNow may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

6 that you may ^awith one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Glorify God Together

7 Therefore ^areceive one another, just ^bas Christ also received us, to the glory of God.

8 Now I say that ^aJesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, ^bto confirm the promises made to the fathers,

9 and ^athat the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:
^b“For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name.”

10 And again he says:
^a“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”

11 And again:
^a“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!”

12 And again, Isaiah says:
^a“There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all ^ajoy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
