Romans 15

7 So accept one another, just as Christ accepted you, and give God the glory. 8 I maintain that Christ came as a servant to the Jews*15:8. Literally, "of circumcision." to show God tells the truth, keeping the promises he made to their forefathers. 9 He also came that foreigners could praise God for his mercy, as Scripture says, "Therefore I will praise you among the foreigners; I will sing praises to your name."*15:9. Quoting Psalms 18:49. 10 And also: "Foreigners, celebrate with his people!"*15:10. Quoting Deuteronomy 32:43. 11 And again: "All you foreigners, praise the Lord, let all peoples praise him."*15:11. Quoting Psalms 117:1. 12 And again, Isaiah says, "Jesse’s descendant will come to rule the nations, and foreigners will put their hope in him."*15:12. Quoting Isaiah 11:10. "Jesse’s descendant." This refers to Jesse, the father of King David, who was the beginning of the royal line.
