Romans 15:4-9
Chapter 15
4
And we know that whatever was written in the past was written for our instruction, for both perseverance and comfort, given to us by the scripture, to sustain our hope.
5
May God, the source of all perseverance and comfort, grant you all peace in Christ Jesus,
6
so that you may praise God, the Father of Christ Jesus, our Lord, with one voice.

9
The pagans instead, give thanks to God for his mercy, as scripture says: Because of that, I will sing and praise your name among the pagans.
