Romans 9

1I say^G3004 the truth^G225 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, I lie^G5574 not^G3756, my^G3450 conscience^G4893 bearing^G4828 witness^G4828 with me^G3427 in^G1722 the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151, 2that^G3754 I^G3427 have^G2076 great^G3173 sorrow^G3077 and^G2532 unceasing^G88 pain^G3601 in^G2588 my^G3450 heart^G2588. 3For^G1063 I^G1473 could wish that^G2172 I myself^G846 were^G1511 anathema^G331 from^G575 Christ^G5547 for^G5228 my^G3450 brethren's^G80 sake, my^G3450 kinsmen^G4773 according to^G2596 the flesh^G4561: 4who^G3748 are^G1526 Israelites^G2475; whose^G3739 is the adoption^G5206, and^G2532 the glory^G1391, and^G2532 the covenants^G1242, and^G2532 the giving of the law^G3548, and^G2532 the service^G2999 of God, and^G2532 the promises^G1860; 5whose^G3739 are the fathers^G3962, and^G2532 of^G1537 whom^G3739 is Christ^G5547 as concerning^G2596 the flesh^G4561, who is^G5607 over^G1909 all^G3956, God^G2316 blessed^G2128 for^G1519 ever^G165. Amen^G281. 6But it is not^G3756 as^G3634 though^G1161 the word^G3056 of God^G2316 hath come to nought^G1601. For^G1063 they are not^G3756 all^G3956 Israel^G2474, that^G3588 are of Israel^G2474: 7neither^G3761, because^G3754 they are^G1526 Abraham's^G11 seed^G4690, are they all^G3956 children^G5043: but^G235, In^G1722 Isaac^G2464 shall^G2564 thy^G4671 seed^G4690 be called^G2564. 8That^G5124 is^G2076, it is not^G3756 the children^G5043 of the flesh^G4561 that^G5023 are children^G5043 of God^G2316; but^G235 the children^G5043 of the promise^G1860 are reckoned^G3049 for^G1519 a seed^G4690. 9For^G1063 this^G3778 is a word^G3056 of promise^G1860, According^G2596 to this^G5126 season^G2540 will I come^G2064, and^G2532 Sarah^G4564 shall have^G2071 a son^G5207. 10And^G1161 not^G3756 only^G3440 so; but^G235 Rebecca^G4479 also^G2532 having^G2192 conceived^G2845 by^G1537 one^G1520, even by^G3962 our^G2257 father^G3962 Isaac^G2464— 11for^G1063 the children being^G1080 not yet^G3380 born^G1080, neither^G3366 having done^G4238 anything^G5100 good^G18 or^G2228 bad^G2556, that^G2443 the purpose^G4286 of God^G2316 according to^G2596 election^G1589 might stand^G3306, not^G3756 of^G1537 works^G2041, but^G235 of^G1537 him that calleth^G2564, 12it was said^G4483 unto her^G846, The elder^G3187 shall serve^G1398 the younger^G1640. 13Even as^G2531 it is written^G1125, Jacob^G2384 I loved^G25, but^G1161 Esau^G2269 I hated^G3404. 14What^G5101 shall we say^G2046 then^G3767? Is there unrighteousness^G93 with^G3844 God^G2316? God forbid^G1096. 15For^G1063 he saith^G3004 to Moses^G3475, I will have mercy on^G1653 whom^G3739 I have mercy^G1653, and^G2532 I will have compassion on^G3627 whom^G3739 I have^G302 compassion^G3627. 16So^G686 then^G3767 it is not^G3756 of him that willeth^G2309, nor^G3761 of him that runneth^G5143, but^G235 of God^G2316 that hath mercy^G1653. 17For^G1063 the scripture^G1124 saith^G3004 unto Pharaoh^G3754, For^G1519 this^G5124 very^G846 purpose^G5124 did I raise^G1825 thee^G4571 up^G1825, that^G3704 I might show^G1731 in^G1722 thee^G4671 my^G3450 power^G1411, and^G2532 that^G3704 my^G3450 name^G3686 might be published^G1229 abroad in^G1722 all^G3956 the earth^G1093. 18So then^G3767 he hath mercy on^G1653 whom^G3739 he will^G2309, and^G1161 whom^G3739 he will^G2309 be hardeneth^G4645. 19Thou wilt say^G2046 then^G3767 unto me^G3427, Why^G5101 doth he^G3201 still^G2089 find fault^G3201? For^G1063 who^G5101 withstandeth^G436 his^G846 will^G1013? 20Nay but^G3304, O^G5599 man^G444, who^G5101 art^G1488 thou^G4771 that repliest against^G470 God^G2316? Shall^G2046 the thing formed^G4110 say^G2046 to him that formed^G4111 it, Why^G5101 didst thou make^G4160 me^G3165 thus^G3779? 21Or hath^G2192 not^G3756 the potter^G2763 a right^G1849 over the clay^G4081, from the same^G846 lump^G5445 to^G1519 make^G4160 one^G3303 part a vessel^G4632 unto^G1519 honor^G5092, and^G1161 another^G3739 unto^G1519 dishonor^G819? 22What^G1161 if^G1487 God^G2316, willing^G2309 to show^G1731 his wrath^G3709, and^G2532 to make^G1107 his^G846 power^G1415 known^G1107, endured^G5342 with^G1722 much^G4183 longsuffering^G3115 vessels^G4632 of wrath^G3709 fitted^G2675 unto^G1519 destruction^G684: 23and^G2532 that^G2443 he might make known^G1107 the riches^G4149 of his^G846 glory^G1391 upon^G1909 vessels^G4632 of mercy^G1656, which^G3739 he afore prepared^G4282 unto^G1519 glory^G1391, 24 even^G2532 us^G2248, whom^G3739 he also called^G2564, not^G3756 from^G1537 the Jews^G2453 only^G3440, but^G235 also^G2532 from^G1537 the Gentiles^G1484? 25As^G5613 he saith^G3004 also^G2532 in^G1722 Hosea^G5617, I will call^G2564 that^G3588 my^G3450 people^G2992, which was^G3588 not^G3756 my^G3450 people^G2992; And^G2532 her^G3588 beloved^G25, that was^G3588 not^G3756 beloved^G25. 26And^G2532 it shall be^G2071, that in^G1722 the place^G5117 where^G3739 it was said^G4483 unto them^G846, Ye^G5210 are not^G3756 my^G3450 people^G2992, There^G1563 shall they be called^G2564 sons^G5207 of the^G2316 living^G2198 God^G2316. 27And^G1161 Isaiah^G2268 crieth^G2896 concerning^G5228 Israel^G2474, If^G1437 the number^G706 of the children^G5207 of Israel^G2474 be^G5600 as^G5613 the sand^G285 of the sea^G2281, it is the remnant^G2640 that shall be saved^G4982: 28for^G1063 the Lord^G2962 will^G4160 execute^G4160 his word^G3056 upon^G1909 the earth^G1093, finishing^G4931 it^G3056 and^G2532 cutting^G4932 it short^G4932. 29And^G2532, as^G2531 Isaiah^G2268 hath said before^G4280, Except^G3361 the Lord^G2962 of Sabaoth^G4519 had left^G1459 us^G2254 a seed^G302, We had become^G1096 as^G5613 Sodom^G4670, and^G2532 had^G5613 been made like^G3666 unto Gomorrah^G1116. 30What^G5101 shall we say^G2046 then^G3767? That^G3754 the Gentiles^G1484, who followed^G1377 not^G3361 after^G1377 righteousness^G1343, attained to^G2638 righteousness^G1343, even^G1161 the righteousness^G1343 which is^G3588 of^G1537 faith^G4102: 31but^G1161 Israel^G2474, following after^G1377 a law^G3551 of righteousness^G1343, did^G5348 not^G3756 arrive^G5348 at^G1519 that law^G3551. 32Wherefore^G5101? Because^G3754 they sought it not^G3756 by^G1537 faith^G4102, but^G235 as it were^G5613 by^G1537 works^G2041. They stumbled^G4350 at the^G3037 stone^G4348 of stumbling; 33even as^G2531 it is written^G1125, Behold^G2400, I lay^G5087 in^G1722 Zion^G4622 a stone^G3037 of stumbling^G4348 and^G2532 a rock^G4073 of offence^G4625: And^G2532 he^G3956 that believeth^G4100 on^G1909 him^G846 shall^G2617 not^G3756 be put to shame^G2617.
