Romans 9
|
- 9:1 I
say the
truth
in
Christ, I
lie
not,
my
conscience also
bearing
me
witness
in the
Holy
Ghost,
|
- 9:2
That
I
have
great
heaviness
and
continual sorrow
in
my
heart.
|
- 9:3
For
I could
wish that
myself
were
accursed
from
Christ
for
my
brethren,
my
kinsmen
according to the
flesh:
|
- 9:4
Who
are
Israelites; to
whom pertaineth the
adoption,
and the
glory,
and the
covenants,
and the giving of the
law,
and the
service of God,
and the
promises;
|
- 9:5
Whose are the
fathers,
and
of
whom as
concerning the
flesh
Christ came,
who is
over
all,
God
blessed
for
ever.
Amen.
|
- 9:6
Not
as
though
the
word of
God hath taken none
effect.
For they are
not
all
*
Israel,
which
are of
Israel:
|
- 9:7
Neither,
because they
are the
seed of
Abraham, are they
all
children:
but,
In
Isaac
shall
thy
seed be
called.
|
- 9:8 That
is, They which are the
children of the
flesh,
these are
not the
children of
God:
but the
children of the
promise are
counted
for the
seed.
|
- 9:9
For
this is the
word of
promise,
At
this
time will I
come,
and
Sara shall
have a
son.
|
- 9:10
And
not
only this;
but when
Rebecca
also had
conceived
by
one
*, even by
our
father
Isaac;
|
- 9:11
(For the children
being not
yet
born,
neither having
done
any
good
or
evil,
that the
purpose of
God
according to
election might
stand,
not
of
works,
but
of him that
calleth;)
|
- 9:12
It was
said unto
her, The
elder shall
serve the
younger.
|
- 9:13
As it is
written,
Jacob have I
loved,
but
Esau have I
hated.
|
- 9:14
What shall we
say
then
* Is there
unrighteousness
with
God? God
forbid
*.
|
- 9:15
For he
saith to
Moses, I will have mercy
on
whom
I will have
mercy,
and I will have
compassion on
whom
I will have
compassion.
|
- 9:16
So
then it is
not of him that
willeth,
nor of him that
runneth,
but of
God that sheweth
mercy.
|
- 9:17
For the
scripture
saith unto
Pharaoh, Even
for
*
this same
purpose have I
raised
thee
up,
that I might
shew
my
power
in
thee,
and
that
my
name might be
declared
throughout
all the
earth.
|
- 9:18
Therefore
hath he
mercy on
whom he
will have mercy,
and
whom he
will he
hardeneth.
|
- 9:19 Thou wilt
say
then unto
me,
Why doth he
yet find
fault ?
For
who hath
resisted
his
will?
|
- 9:20 Nay
but,
O
man,
who
art
thou that repliest
against
God
*
Shall the thing
formed
say to him that
formed it,
Why hast thou
made
me
thus?
|
- 9:21
*
Hath
not the
potter
power over the
clay,
of the
same
lump
to
*
make one
vessel
unto
honour,
and
another
unto
dishonour?
|
- 9:22 What
if
*
God,
willing to
shew his
wrath,
and to
make
his
power
known,
endured
with
much
longsuffering the
vessels of
wrath
fitted
to
destruction:
|
- 9:23
And
that he might make
known the
riches of
his
glory
on the
vessels of
mercy,
which he had afore
prepared
unto
glory,
|
- 9:24
*
Even
us,
whom he hath
called,
not
of the
Jews
only,
but
also
of the
Gentiles?
|
- 9:25 As he
saith
also
in
Osee, I will
call them
my
people, which were
not
my
people;
and her
beloved, which
was
not
beloved.
|
- 9:26
And it shall come to
pass, that
in the
place
where
* it was
said unto
them,
Ye are
not
my
people;
there shall they be
called the
children of the
living
God.
|
- 9:27
Esaias
also
crieth
concerning
Israel,
Though the
number of the
children of
Israel
be
as the
sand of the
sea, a
remnant shall be
saved:
|
- 9:28
For he will
finish the
work,
and cut it
short
in
righteousness:
because a
short
work
will the
Lord
make
upon the
earth.
|
- 9:29
And
as
Esaias said
before,
Except the
Lord of
Sabaoth had
left
us a
seed, we had
been
*
as
Sodoma,
and been made
like
*
unto
Gomorrha.
|
- 9:30
What shall we
say
then?
That the
Gentiles,
which
followed
not after
righteousness, have
attained to
righteousness,
even the
righteousness
which is
of
faith.
|
- 9:31
But
Israel, which
followed after the
law of
righteousness,
hath
not
attained
to the
law of
righteousness.
|
- 9:32
Wherefore?
Because they sought it
not
by
faith,
but
as it were
by the
works of the
law.
For they
stumbled at that
stumblingstone
*;
|
- 9:33
As it is
written,
Behold, I
lay
in
Sion a
stumblingstone
*
and
rock of
offence:
and
whosoever
believeth
on
him
shall
not be
ashamed.
