10and again it says, “Rejoice you nations, with His people”;
11and again, “Praise the LORD, all you nations; and laud Him, all you peoples”;
12and again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, and He who is rising to rule nations—on Him will nations hope”;
13and the God of the hope will fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
14And I am persuaded, my brothers—I myself also—concerning you, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, also able to admonish one another;
15and the more boldly I wrote to you, brothers, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
16for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
