8 Now I say that Matt. 15:24; Acts 3:26Jesus Christ has become a servant to the circumcision for the truth of God, (Rom. 4:16); 2 Cor. 1:20to confirm the promises made to the fathers, 9 and John 10:16that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written:
2 Sam. 22:50; Ps. 18:49"For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles,
And sing to Your name."
10 And again he says:
Deut. 32:43"Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!"
11 And again:
Ps. 117:1"Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!
Laud Him, all you peoples!"
12 And again, Isaiah says:
Is. 11:1, 10"There shall be a root of Jesse;
And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,
In Him the Gentiles shall hope."
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all Rom. 12:12; 14:17joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
