8 Let me explain. Christ became a servant for the Jewish people to reveal God's truth. As a result, he fulfilled God's promise to the ancestors of the Jewish people. 9 People who are not Jewish praise God for his mercy as well. This is what the Scriptures say, |That is why I will give thanks to you among the nations and I will sing praises to your name.| 10 And Scripture says again, |You nations, be happy together with his people!| 11 And again, |Praise the Lord, all you nations! Praise him, all you people of the world!| 12 Again, Isaiah says, |There will be a root from Jesse. He will rise to rule the nations, and he will give the nations hope.| Romans 15:8-12, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
