15:8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised4 on behalf of God’s truth to confirm the promises made to the fathers,515:9and thus the Gentiles glorify God for his mercy.6 As it is written, “Because of this I will confess you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to your name.”7
Footnotes
- 4 Grk “of the circumcision”; that is, the Jews.
- 5 Or “to the patriarchs.”
- 6 There are two major syntactical alternatives which are both awkward: (1) One could make “glorify” dependent on “Christ has become a minister” and coordinate with “to confirm” and the result would be rendered “Christ has become a minister of circumcision to confirm the promises … and so that the Gentiles might glorify God.” (2) One could make “glorify” dependent on “I tell you” and coordinate with “Christ has become a minister” and the result would be rendered “I tell you that Christ has become a minister of circumcision … and that the Gentiles glorify God.” The second rendering is preferred.
- 7 A quotation from Ps 18:49.

Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors. He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them. That is what the psalmist meant when he wrote:
“For this, I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing praises to your name.”
