< Romans 9 >
1 [The] truth I speak in Christ, Not I am lying, while is bearing witness with me the conscience of mine in [the] Spirit Holy,
2 that grief to me is great and unceasing sorrow in the heart of me.
3 was wishing for a curse to be [my]self I myself separated from Christ for the brothers of mine the kinsmen of mine according to [the] flesh;
4 who are Israelites, whose [is] the divine adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the lawgiving and the service and the promises,
5 whose [are] the patriarchs and from whom [is] Christ according to the flesh, who is being over all God blessed to the ages, Amen. (aiōn )
6 [It is] not as however that has failed the word of God. Not for all who [are] of Israel [are] these Israel;
7 Nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, rather In Isaac will be named to you offspring.
8 That is not the children of the flesh these [are] children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as offspring.
9 Of [the] promise for the word [is] this: At time this I will come and there will be to Sarah a son.
10 Not only then, but also Rebecca by one conception having Isaac the father of us;
11 not yet not yet for having been born nor having done anything good or (evil, *N(k)O*) so that the according to election purpose of God may stand, not of works but of the [One] calling,
12 it was said to her that The older will serve the younger;
13 (Even as *NK(o)*) it has been written: Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
14 What then will we say? Not injustice with God [is there]? Never would it be!
15 To Moses for He says: I will show mercy to whom maybe I may show mercy and I will have compassion on whom maybe I may have compassion.
16 So then [it is] not of the [one who is] willing nor of the [one who is] running but of the [one who is] showing mercy of God.
17 Says for the Scripture to Pharaoh that For this very therefore I have raised up you so that I may show in you the power of Mine and that may be declared the name of Me in all the earth.
18 So then to whom He wants He shows mercy, whom now He wants He hardens.
19 You will say to me then: Why (then *NO*) still does He find fault? The for purpose of Him who has been resisting?
20 O man, but rather, you yourself who are who is answering against to God? Not will say the thing formed to the [One] having formed [it]; Why me did you make like this?
21 Or not has authority the potter over the clay out of the same lump to make one indeed unto honor vessel one however unto dishonor?
22 What if now desiring God to show the wrath and to make known the power of Him bore with much patience [the] vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
23 also that He may make known the riches of the glory of Him upon [the] vessels of mercy which He prepared beforehand for glory?
24 whom even He has called us not only out from [the] Jews but also out from [the] Gentiles,
25 As also in Hosea He says: I will call that which [is] not people of Mine people of Mine and her who not loved loved.
26 and It will happen that in the place where it was said to them; Not people of Mine [are] You yourselves, there they will be called sons of God [the] living.
27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: Though shall be the number of the sons of Israel as the sand of the sea, [only] the (vestige *N(k)O*) will be saved;
28 [The] sentence for concluding and bringing swiftly (in righteousness for word brought swiftly *K*) will perform [the] Lord upon the earth.
29 And even as has foretold Isaiah: only unless [the] Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, like Sodom then we should have become and like Gomorrah then would we have been made.
30 What then will we say? That Gentiles not pursuing righteousness have grasped righteousness, righteousness now that [is] by faith;
31 Israel however pursuing a law of righteousness to [that] law (righteousness *k*) not did attain.
32 Because of why? Because [it was] not by faith but as by works (of law; *K*) They stumbled (for *k*) over the stone of stumbling
33 even as it has been written: Behold I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and (everyone *K*) who is believing on Him never will be put to shame.
