015:006 that with one accord you may with one mouth glorify the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
015:007 Therefore accept one another, even as Christ also accepted
you,{TR reads "us" instead of "you"} to the glory of God.
015:008 Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision
for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises
given to the fathers,
015:009 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy.
As it is written, "Therefore will I give praise to you among
the Gentiles, and sing to your name."{2 Samuel 22:50; Psalm 18:49}
015:010 Again he says, "Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people."{Deuteronomy
32:43}
015:011 Again, "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Let all the peoples
praise him."{Psalm 117:1}
015:012 Again, Isaiah says, "There will be the root of Jesse,
he who arises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles
will hope."{Isaiah 11:10}
015:013 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power
of the Holy Spirit.
015:014 I myself am also persuaded about you, my brothers{The word
for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly
translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."}, that you
yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge,
able also to admonish others.
015:015 But I write the more boldly to you in part, as reminding you,
because of the grace that was given to me by God,
015:016 that I should be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles,
serving as a priest the Good News of God, that the offering
up of the Gentiles might be made acceptable, sanctified by
the Holy Spirit.
015:017 I have therefore my boasting in Christ Jesus in things
pertaining to God.
015:018 For I will not dare to speak of any things except those which
Christ worked through me, for the obedience of the Gentiles,
by word and deed,
015:019 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of God's Spirit;
so that from Jerusalem, and around as far as to Illyricum, I have
fully preached the Good News of Christ;
015:020 yes, making it my aim to preach the Good News, not where Christ
was already named, that I might not build on another's foundation.
015:021 But, as it is written, "They will see, to whom no news of him came.
They who haven't heard will understand."{Isaiah 52:15}
015:022 Therefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you,
015:023 but now, no longer having any place in these regions,
and having these many years a longing to come to you,
015:024 whenever I journey to Spain, I will come to you.
For I hope to see you on my journey, and to be helped on my way
there by you, if first I may enjoy your company for a while.
