Romans 15:8-19

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Romans 15:8-19

8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written:
“Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles;
I will sing hymns to Your name.”
10Again, it says:
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
11And again:
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and extol Him, all you peoples.”
12And once more, Isaiah says:
“The Root of Jesse will appear,
One who will arise to rule over the Gentiles;
in Him the Gentiles will put their hope.”
13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
14I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, brimming with knowledge, and able to instruct one another.
15However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me
16to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17Therefore I exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
18I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
19by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
