15 7 In a word, accept one another as Christ accepted us, to the glory of God. 15 8 I mean that Christ became a servant of the Jewish people to maintain the truth of God by making good his promises to the patriarchs, 15 9 [ Ps.18.49, 2Sm.22.50. ] and at the same time to give the Gentiles cause to glorify God for his mercy. As Scripture says, 'Therefore I will praise thee among the Gentiles and sing hymns to thy name'; 15 10 [ Dt.32.43. ] and again, 'Gentiles, make merry together with his own people'; 15 11 [ Ps.117.1. ] and yet again, 'All Gentiles, praise the Lord; let all peoples praise him.' 15 12 [ Is.11.10. ] Once again, Isaiah says, 'There shall be the Scion of Jesse, the one raised up to govern the Gentiles; on him the Gentiles shall set their hope.' 15 13 And may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace by your faith in him, until, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you overflow with hope.
