← Romans 15:7	Romans 15:8 (KJV)	Romans 15:9 →
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.	Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises [made] unto the fathers:	And that the Gentiles might glorify God for [his] mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
