Romans 15:4-13 - God Gives Us Unity
4 The things written in earlier times were written for our instruction, that we through endurance and the encouragement from the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now may the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus. 6 To this end you may glorify God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one accord (language) (united expression).
7 Receive one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcised for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers. 9 That the nations might glorify God for his mercy as it is written: For this cause I will confess you to the people of the nations, and sing to your name.
10 And again he says: Rejoice, you nations, with his people. (Deuteronomy 32:43) 11 And again: Praise Jehovah, all you nations; and laud him, all you people. (Psalm 117:1)
12 And again, Isaiah says: Then in that day the nations will search for and turn to the root of Jesse. He will stand as a signal for the peoples. His resting place will be glorious. (Isaiah 11:10)
13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
