1 I tell the truth in Meshikha. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Rukha d'Qudsha,

3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Meshikha for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the flesh,

4 who are Israyelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;

6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israyel, that are of Israyel.

7 Neither, because they are Avraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Iskhaq will your descendants be called."

8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.

9 For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sera will have a son."

10 And not only that, but Raphqa also had conceived by one, our father Iskhaq.

11 For 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 who calls,

12 it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."

13 Even as it is written, "Yaquv I loved, but Isuw I hated."

14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.

15 For he said to Mushe, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

20 But who indeed are you, a human being, to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

21 Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

22 What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,

30 What shall we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
