Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Therefore, [continue to] accept and welcome one another, just as Christ has accepted and welcomed us to the glory of [our great] God.

So reach out and welcome one another to God’s glory. Jesus did it; now you do it! Jesus, staying true to God’s purposes, reached out in a special way to the Jewish insiders so that the old ancestral promises would come true for them. As a result, the non-Jewish outsiders have been able to experience mercy and to show appreciation to God. Just think of all the Scriptures that will come true in what we do! For instance: Then I’ll join outsiders in a hymn-sing; I’ll sing to your name! And this one: Outsiders and insiders, rejoice together! And again: People of all nations, celebrate God! All colors and races, give hearty praise! And Isaiah’s word: There’s the root of our ancestor Jesse, breaking through the earth and growing tree tall, Tall enough for everyone everywhere to see and take hope! Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!

Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.

Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

Christ accepted you, so you should accept each other, which will bring glory to God.

Wherefore receive ye one another, even as Christ also received you, to the glory of God.

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

You will bring God glory when you accept and welcome one another as partners, just as the Anointed One has fully accepted you and received you as his partner.
