and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy .
As it is written , "
Therefore I will praise thee among the Gentiles ,
and sing to thy name ";
*
and again it is said , "
Rejoice ,
O Gentiles ,
with his people ";
*
and again , "
Praise the Lord ,
all Gentiles ,
and let all the peoples praise him ";
*
and further Isaiah says , "
The root of Jesse shall come ,
he who rises to rule the Gentiles ;
in him shall the Gentiles hope ."
*
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing ,
so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope .
*
I myself am satisfied about you ,
my brethren ,
that you yourselves are full of goodness ,
filled with all knowledge ,
and able to instruct one another .
*

because of the grace given me by God
*
to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God ,
so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable ,
sanctified by the Holy Spirit .
*
In Christ Jesus ,
then ,
I have reason to be proud of my work for God .
*
For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has wrought through me to win obedience from the Gentiles ,
by word and deed ,
*
by the power of signs and wonders ,
by the power of the Holy Spirit ,
so that from Jerusalem and as far round as Illyr '
icum I have fully preached the gospel of Christ ,
