Romans 15:13-16

New International Version

¹³ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace^(A) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.^(B)

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

¹⁴ I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness,^(C) filled with knowledge^(D) and competent to instruct one another. ¹⁵ Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me^{(E) 16} to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles.^(F) He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God,^(G) so that the Gentiles might become an offering^(H) acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
