15:9 {6} And that the Gentiles might glorify God for [his] mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will {h} confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
(6) An applying of the same to the Gentiles, whom also the Lord by his incomprehensible goodness had regard for, so that they are not to be condemned by the Jews as strangers.
(h) I will openly confess and set forth your name.
15:9 That the Gentiles might glorify God. It was a part of this plan, all the while, that Christ, born under the law (Ga 4:4), should save the Gentiles, and enable them to glorify God for his mercy to them.
As it is written. Various passages from the Old Testament are now quoted to show God's purpose to give the gospel to the Gentiles.
For this cause, etc. This quotation is from Ps 18:49, and implies that God shall be confessed, and his praises sung among the Gentiles.
15:9 As it is written - In the eighteenth psalm, here the gentiles and Jews are spoken of as joining in the worship of the God of Israel. Psa 18:49
15:8-13 Christ fulfilled the prophecies and promises relating to the Jews, and the Gentile converts could have no excuse for despising them. The Gentiles, being brought into the church, are companions in patience and tribulation. They should praise God. Calling upon all the nations to praise the Lord, shows that they shall have knowledge of him. We shall never seek to Christ till we trust in him. And the whole plan of redemption is suited to reconcile us to one another, as well as to our gracious God, so that an abiding hope of eternal life, through the sanctifying and comforting power of the Holy Spirit, may be attained. Our own power will never reach this; therefore where this hope is, and is abounding, the blessed Spirit must have all the glory. All joy and peace; all sorts of true joy and peace, so as to suppress doubts and fears, through the powerful working of the Holy Spirit.
