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.”
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!”
a“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”
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.”
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.
From Jerusalem to Illyricum
14 Now aI myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, bfilled with all knowledge, able also to admonish1 one another.
15 Nevertheless, brethren, I have written more boldly to you on some points, as reminding you, abecause of the grace given to me by God,
16 that aI might be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the boffering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Therefore I have reason to glory in Christ Jesus ain the things which pertain to God.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things awhich Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, bto make the Gentiles obedient—
19 ain mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
20 And so I have made it my aim to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, alest I should build on another man’s foundation,
21 but as it is written:
a“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
a“To whom He was not announced, they shall see;
And those who have not heard shall understand.”
Plan to Visit Rome
22 For this reason aI also have been much hindered from coming to you.
23 But now no longer having a place in these parts, and ahaving a great desire these many years to come to you,
