Romans 15:8-13 - Christ The Hope Of Jews And Gentiles

8 For I tell you that Christ, in vindication of God's truthfulness, has become a minister of the Covenant of Circumcision, so that he may fulfil the promises made to our ancestors, 9 And that the Gentiles also may praise God for his mercy. As Scripture says--'Therefore will I make acknowledgment to thee among the Gentiles and sing in honor of thy Name.'

10 And again it says--'Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with God's People.' 11 And yet again--'Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles, and let all Peoples sing his praises.'

12 Again, Isaiah says--'There shall be a Scion of the house of Jesse, One who is to arise to rule the Gentiles; on him shall the Gentiles rest their hopes.'

13 May God, who inspires our hope, grant you perfect happiness and peace in your faith, till you are filled with this hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
