8 For I say that Christ became a servant of the circumcised 15:8 The Jews on behalf of God’s truth, 15:8 Mt 15:24; Ac 3:26 to confirm the promises to the fathers, 15:8 Rm 4:16; 2Co 1:209 and so that Gentiles 15:9 Rm 3:29; 11:30 may glorify God for his mercy. 15:9 Mt 9:8 As it is written,
Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and I will sing praise to your name. 15:9 2Sm 22:50; Ps 18:49, 15:9 2Sm 22:50; Ps 18:49
10 Again it says, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people! 15:10 Dt 32:43, 15:10 Dt 32:4311 And again,
Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
let all the peoples praise him! 15:11 Ps 117:1, 15:11 Ps 117:1
12 And again, Isaiah says,
The root of Jesse 15:12 Rv 5:5; 22:16will appear,
the one who rises to rule the Gentiles;
the Gentiles will hope in him. 15:12 Is 11:10, 15:12 Is 11:10; Mt 12:21
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe 15:13 Rm 14:17 so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 15:13 1Co 2:4; 1Th 1:5
