Romans 15:8

Accept One Another According To Christ's Example

⁷ Habitually therefore give one another a friendly reception, just as Christ also has received you, and thus promote the glory of God. ⁸ My meaning is that Christ has become a servant to the people of Israel in vindication of God's truthfulness-- in showing how sure are the promises made to our forefathers-- ⁹ and that the Gentiles also have glorified God in acknowledgment of His mercy. So it is written, "For this reason I will praise Thee among the Gentiles, and sing psalms in honour of Thy name."
