Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:1 - Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:2 - that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart --
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:3 - for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:4 - who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:5 - whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.
(Gen 25:19–23 )
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:6 - And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who are of Israel are these Israel;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:7 - nor because they are seed of Abraham are all children, but -- 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:8 - that is, the children of the flesh -- these are not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:9 - for the word of promise is this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:10 - And not only so, but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father --
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:11 - (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her --
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:12 - 'The greater shall serve the less;'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:13 - according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:14 - What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness is with God? let it not be!
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:15 - for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:16 - so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:17 - for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:18 - so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:19 - Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:20 - nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form it, Why me didst thou make thus?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:21 - hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:22 - And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:23 - and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us --
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:24 - not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:25 - as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what is not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:26 - and it shall be -- in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:27 - And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:28 - for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:29 - and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:30 - What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:31 - and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:32 - wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,
Unchecked Copy BoxRom 9:33 - according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'
