1
I am telling
the truth
in Christ,
I am not lying,
my conscience
testifies
with me in the Holy
Spirit,
2
that I have great
sorrow
and unceasing
grief
in my heart.
3
For I could wish
that I myself
were accursed,
separated from Christ
for the sake
of my brethren,
my kinsmen
according
to the flesh,
4
who
are Israelites,
to
who
m
belongs the adoption as sons,
and the glory
and the covenants
and the giving of the Law
and the temple service
and the promises,
5
whose
are the fathers,
and from whom
is the Christ
according
to the flesh,
who is over
all,
God
blessed
forever.
Amen.
6
But it is not as though
the word
of God
has failed.
For they are not all
Israel
who
are descended from
Israel
;
7
nor
are they all
children
because
they are Abraham's
descendants,
but: "THROUGH
ISAAC
YOUR DESCENDANTS
WILL BE NAMED."
8
That is, it is not the children
of the flesh
who
are children
of God,
but the children
of the promise
are regarded
as descendants.
9
For this
is the word
of promise:
"AT THIS
TIME
I WILL COME,
AND SARAH
SHALL HAVE
A SON."
10
And not only
this, but there was Rebekah
also,
when she had conceived
twins by one man,
our father
Isaac;
11
f
or
though the twins were not yet
b
or
n
and had not done
anything
good
or
bad,
so
that God's
purpose
acc
or
ding
to His choice
would stand,
not because
of w
or
ks
but because
of Him who calls,
12
it was said
to her, "THE OLDER
WILL SERVE
THE YOUNGER."
13
Just
as it is written,
"JACOB
I LOVED,
BUT ESAU
I HATED."
14
What
shall we say
then?
There is no
injustice
with God,
is there? May it never
be!
15
For He says
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 does not depend on the man who wills
or
the man who runs,
but on God
who has mercy.
17
For the Scripture
says
to Pharaoh,
"FOR THIS
VERY
PURPOSE I RAISED
YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE
MY POWER
IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME
MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED
THROUGHOUT
THE WHOLE
EARTH."
18
So then
He has mercy
on
whom
He desires,
and He hardens
whom
He desires.
19
You will say
to me then,
"Why
does He still
find fault?
For who
resists
His will?"
20
On the contrary,
who
are you, O
man,
who
answers back
to God?
The thing molded
will not say
to the molder,
"Why
did you make
me like this,"
will it?
21
Or
does not the potter
have
a right
over the clay,
to make
from the same
lump
one
vessel
for honorable use
and another
for common use?
22
What
if
God,
although willing
to demonstrate
His wrath
and to make
His power
known,
endured
with much
patience
vessels
of wrath
prepared
for destruction?
23
And He did so to make known
the riches
of His glory
upon vessels
of mercy,
which
He prepared beforehand
for glory,
24
even us, whom
He also
called,
not
from among
Jews
only,
but also
from among
Gentiles.
25
As He says
also
in Hosea,
"I WILL CALL
THOSE
WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE,
'MY PEOPLE,'
AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED,
'BELOVED.'"
26
"AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE
WHERE
IT WAS SAID
TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,'
THERE
THEY SHALL BE CALLED
SONS
OF THE LIVING
GOD."
27
Isaiah
cries
out concerning
Israel,
"THOUGH
THE NUMBER
OF THE SONS
OF ISRAEL
BE LIKE
THE SAND
OF THE SEA,
IT IS THE REMNANT
THAT WILL BE SAVED;
28
FOR THE LORD
WILL EXECUTE
HIS WORD
ON THE EARTH,
THOROUGHLY
AND QUICKLY."
29
And just
as Isaiah
foretold,
"UNLESS
THE LORD
OF SABAOTH
HAD LEFT
TO US A POSTERITY,
WE WOULD HAVE BECOME
LIKE
SODOM,
AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED
GOMORRAH."
30
What
shall we say
then?
That Gentiles,
who did not pursue
righteousness,
attained
righteousness,
even
the righteousness
which is by faith;
31
but Israel,
pursuing
a law
of righteousness,
did not arrive
at that law.
32
Why?
Because
they did not pursue it by faith,
but as though
it were by works.
They stumbled over
the stumbling
stone,
33
just
as it is written,
"BEHOLD,
I LAY
IN ZION
A STONE
OF STUMBLING
AND A ROCK
OF OFFENSE,
AND HE WHO BELIEVES
IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
