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,
I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 that grief to me is great and unceasing sorrow in the heart of me.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
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;
For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives 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,
who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, 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 g165)
of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Christ, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 [It is] not as however that has failed the word of God. Not for all who [are] of Israel [are] these Israel;
But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel.
7 Nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, rather In Isaac will be named to you offspring.
Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants be called."
8 That is not the children of the flesh these [are] children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as offspring.
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 Of [the] promise for the word [is] this: At time this I will come and there will be to Sarah a son.
For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
10 Not only then, but also Rebecca by one conception having Isaac the father of us;
And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, our father Isaac.
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,
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 that The older will serve the younger;
it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
13 (Even as *NK(o)*) it has been written: Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14 What then will we say? Not injustice with God [is there]? Never would it be!
What should we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely not.
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.
For he said to Moses, "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 the [one who is] willing nor of the [one who is] running but of the [one who is] showing mercy of God.
So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
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.
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 to whom He wants He shows mercy, whom now He wants He hardens.
So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
19 You will say to me then: Why (then *NO*) still does He find fault? The for purpose of Him who has been resisting?
You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
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?
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 not has authority the potter over the clay out of the same lump to make one indeed unto honor vessel one however unto dishonor?
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 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,
What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made 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?
and that he might make known the riches of his glory on 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,
us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
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.
As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them which were not my people 'my people,' and her who was 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.
"It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children of the living God.'"
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;
And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be kept safe.
28 [The] sentence for concluding and bringing swiftly (in righteousness for word brought swiftly *K*) will perform [the] Lord upon the earth.
For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness; because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of 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.
As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah."
30 What then will we say? That Gentiles not pursuing righteousness have grasped righteousness, righteousness now that [is] by faith;
What should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
31 Israel however pursuing a law of righteousness to [that] law (righteousness *k*) not did attain.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.
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
Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;
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.
even as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."
