Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written: "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing the praises of your name."
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you
Romans 14:1 Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters.
Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God's truth
Matthew 15:24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
Acts 3:24-26 "Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days. And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, 'Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.' (Genesis 22:18; 26:4) When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways."
Matthew 10:5-6 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel."
so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed
2 Corinthians 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.
