5
And may God, the source of patience and encouragement, enable you to have the same point of view among yourselves by following the example of Christ Jesus,
6
so that all of you together may praise with one voice the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7
Accept one another, then, for the glory of God, as Christ has accepted you.
8
For I tell you that Christ's life of service was on behalf of the Jews, to show that God is faithful, to make his promises to their ancestors come true,
9
and to enable even the Gentiles to praise God for his mercy. As the scripture says, "And so I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing praises to you."
