Romans 15:14

11 And again, Give praise to the Lord, all you Gentiles; and let all the nations give praise to him.

12 And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.

13 Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.

14 And I myself am certain of you, brothers, that you are full of what is good, complete in all knowledge, able to give direction to one another.

15 But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,

16 To be a servant of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, doing the work of a priest in the good news of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might be pleasing to God, being made holy by the Holy Spirit.

17 So I have pride in Christ Jesus in the things which are God's.
