7. Therefore, accept each other in the same way that Christ accepted you. He did this to bring glory to God.
8. Let me explain. Christ became a servant for the Jewish people to reveal God’s truth. As a result, he fulfilled God’s promise to the ancestors of the Jewish people.
9. People who are not Jewish praise God for his mercy as well. This is what the Scriptures say,“That is why I will give thanks to you among the nationsand I will sing praises to your name.”
10. And Scripture says again,“You nations, be happy together with his people!”
11. And again,“Praise the Lord, all you nations!Praise him, all you people of the world!”
12. Again, Isaiah says,“There will be a root from Jesse.He will rise to rule the nations,and he will give the nations hope.”
13. May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
