7. Welcome and receive [to your hearts] one another, then, even as Christ has welcomed and received you, for the glory of God.
8. For I tell you that Christ (the Messiah) became a servant and a minister to the circumcised (the Jews) in order to show God's truthfulness and honesty by confirming (verifying) the promises [given] to our fathers,
9. And [also in order] that the Gentiles (nations) might glorify God for His mercy [not covenanted] to them. As it is written, Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles and sing praises to Your name. [Ps. 18:49.]
10. Again it is said, Rejoice (exult), O Gentiles, along with His [own] people; [Deut. 32:43.]
11. And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise Him! [Ps. 117:1.]
12. And further Isaiah says, There shall be a Sprout from the Root of Jesse, He Who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles hope. [Isa. 11:1, 10; Rev. 5:5; 22:16.]
13. May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.
