Romans 15:9
7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs,
so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “Therefore I will praise You among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”
10 Again, it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
11 And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and extol Him, all you peoples.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
