Receive One Another

7 Therefore receive one another, just as Christ has received [fn]you, to the glory of God. 8 [fn]Now I say that [fn]Christ Jesus has become a servant to the circumcised on behalf of the truth of God in order to confirm the promises that were made to the fathers, 9 so that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

“Therefore I will confess yoʋ among the [fn]Gentiles;

I will sing praise to yoʋr name.”

10 And again it says,

“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,

and [fn]extol him, all you peoples.”

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The root of Jesse will appear,

he who arises to rule the Gentiles;

in him the Gentiles will hope.”

13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
