Romans 9:1
|
|
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience
bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:2
|
|
that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain
in my heart. |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 9:3
|
|
For I could wish that I myself were anathema
from Christ for my brethren's sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh: |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 9:4
|
|
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and
the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God,
and the promises; |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 9:5
|
|
whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ
as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 9:6
|
|
But it is not as though the word of God hath
come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel: |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 9:7
|
|
neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are
they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:8
|
|
That is, it is not the children of the flesh
that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:9
|
|
For this is a word of promise, According to
this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:10
|
|
And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived
by one, even by our father Isaac-- |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:11
|
|
for the children being not yet born, neither
having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election
might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth, |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:12
|
|
it was said unto her, The elder shall serve
the younger. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:13
|
|
Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau
I hated. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:14
|
|
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness
with God? God forbid. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:15
|
|
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on
whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:16
|
|
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of
him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:17
|
|
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this
very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that
my name might be published abroad in all the earth. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:18
|
|
So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom
he will be hardeneth. |
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:19
|
|
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still
find fault? For who withstandeth his will? |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 9:20
|
|
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against
God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me
thus? |
| |
|
|
|
Romans 9:21
|
|
Or hath not the potter a right over the clay,
from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:22
|
|
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and
to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted
unto destruction: |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:23
|
|
and that he might make known the riches of his
glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory, |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:24
|
|
even us, whom he also called, not from the Jews
only, but also from the Gentiles? |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:25
|
|
As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that
my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:26
|
|
And it shall be, that in the place where it
was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the
living God. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:27
|
|
And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the
number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant
that shall be saved: |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:28
|
|
for the Lord will execute his word upon the
earth, finishing it and cutting it short. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:29
|
|
And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the
Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made
like unto Gomorrah. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:30
|
|
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who
followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness
which is of faith: |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:31
|
|
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness,
did not arrive at that law. |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:32
|
|
Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith,
but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; |
|
|
|
|
|
Romans 9:33
|
|
even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion
a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall
not be put to shame. |
