Romans 15:8-12 ▼

8 For I tell you that Christ (the Anointed One) has become a servant {diakonon} of the circumcised on behalf of God’s {Theou} truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs {paterōn},

9 so that the Gentiles {ethnē} may glorify God {Theon} for His mercy (compassion). As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles {ethnesin}; I will sing hymns to Your name <2Sa 22:50; Psa 18:49>.”

10 Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles {ethnē}, with His people .”

11 And again: “Praise the Lord {Kyrion}, all you Gentiles {ethnē}, and extol Him, all you peoples .”

12 And once more, Isaiah (YHWH saves) says: “The Root of Jesse (gift) will appear, One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles {ethnōn}; in Him the Gentiles {ethnē} will put their hope .”
