4: For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

5: May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had,

6: so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7: Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.

8: 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

9: and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy.
