| 9:1 | I say the trueth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing mee witnesse in the holy Ghost, |
| 9:2 | That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorrow in my heart. |
| 9:3 | For I could wish that my selfe were accursed from Christ, for my brethren my kinsemen according to the flesh: |
| 9:4 | Who are Israelites: to whom perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the couenants, and the giuing of the Law, and the seruice of God, and the promises: |
| 9:5 | Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is ouer all, God blessed for euer, Amen. |
| 9:6 | Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel which are of Israel: |
| 9:7 | Neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. |
| 9:8 | That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. |
| 9:9 | For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne. |
| 9:10 | And not onely this, but when Rebecca also had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac, |
| 9:11 | (For the children being not yet borne, neither hauing done any good or euil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of workes, but of him that calleth.) |
| 9:12 | It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger. |
| 9:13 | As it is written, Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated. |
| 9:14 | What shall we say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid. |
| 9:15 | For hee saith to Moses, I will haue mercy on whom I wil haue mercie, and I will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion. |
| 9:16 | So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. |
| 9:17 | For the Scripture saith vnto Pharaoh, Euen for this same purpose haue I raised thee vp, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my Name might bee declared throughout all the earth. |
| 9:18 | Therefore hath hee mercie on whom hee will haue mercy, and whom he will, he hardeneth. |
| 9:19 | Thou wilt say then vnto mee; Why doeth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? |
| 9:20 | Nay but O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
| 9:21 | Hath not the potter power ouer the clay, of the same lumpe, to make one vessell vnto honour, and another vnto dishonour? |
| 9:22 | What if God, willing to shew his wrath, & to make his power knowen, indured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: |
| 9:23 | And that he might make knowen the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which hee had afore prepared vnto glorie? |
| 9:24 | Euen vs whom hee hath called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles. |
| 9:25 | As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people: and her, beloued, which was not beloued. |
| 9:26 | And it shall come to passe, that in the place where it was saide vnto them, Ye are not my people, there shall they bee called the children of the liuing God. |
| 9:27 | Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shalbe saued. |
| 9:28 | For he will finish the worke, and cut it short in righteousnesse: because a short worke will the Lord make vpon the earth. |
| 9:29 | And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabboth had left vs a seed, we had bene as Sodoma, and bene made like vnto Gomorrha. |
| 9:30 | What shall wee say then? That the Gentiles which followed not after righteousnesse, haue attained to righteousnesse, euen the righteousnesse which is of faith: |
| 9:31 | But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousnesse, hath not attained to the Law of righteousnes. |
| 9:32 | Wherefore? because they sought it, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the Law: for they stumbled at that stumbling stone, |
| 9:33 | As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and rocke of offence: and whosoeuer beleeueth on him, shall not be ashamed. |
| 9:1 | I saye the trueth in Christ, and lye not (wherof my conscience beareth me witnesse in the holy goost) |
| 9:2 | that I haue greate heuynesse & contynuall sorowe in my hert. |
| 9:3 | I haue wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Christ for my brethren, that are my kynsmen after the flesh, |
| 9:4 | which are off Israel: vnto whom pertayneth the childshippe, and the glory, and the couenauntes and lawe, and the seruyce of God, and the promyses: |
| 9:5 | whose are also the fathers, off whom (after the flesh) commeth Christ, which is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Ame. |
| 9:6 | But I speake not these thinges, as though the worde of God were of none effecte: for they are not all Israelites, which are of Israel: |
| 9:7 | nether are they all children, because they are the sede of Abraham: but in Isaac shal the sede be called |
| 9:8 | vnto the, that is, They which are children after the flesh, are not the children of God, but the children of the promes are counted for the sede. |
| 9:9 | For this is a worde of the promes, where he sayeth: Aboute this tyme wyl I come, and Sara shal haue a sonne. |
| 9:10 | Howbeit it is not so with this onely, but also whan Rebecca was with childe by one (namely by oure father Isaac) |
| 9:11 | or euer the childre were borne, & had done nether good ner bad (that the purpose of God might stode acordinge to the eleccion, not by the deseruynge of workes, but by the grace of the caller) |
| 9:12 | it was sayde thus vnto her: The greater shal serue the lesse. |
| 9:13 | As it is wrytten: Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated. |
| 9:14 | What shal we saye then? Is God then vnrighteous? God forbyd. |
| 9:15 | For he sayeth vnto Moses: I shewe mercy, to whom I shewe mercy: and haue copassion, |
| 9:16 | on who I haue compassion. So lyeth it not then in eny mans wyll or runnynge, but in the mercy of God. |
| 9:17 | For the scripture sayeth vnto Pharao: For this cause haue I stered the vp, euen to shewe my power on the, that my name mighte be declared in all lodes. |
| 9:18 | Thus hath he mercy on whom he wyl: and whom he wyl, he hardeneth. |
| 9:19 | Thou wilt saye then vnto me: Why blameth he vs yet? For who can resiste his will? |
| 9:20 | O thou man, who art thou, that disputest with God? Sayeth the worke to his workman: Why hast thou made me on this fashion? |
| 9:21 | Hath not the potter power, out of one lompe of claye to make one vessell vnto honoure, and another vnto dishonoure? |
| 9:22 | Therfore whan God wolde shewe wrath, and to make his power knowne, he broughte forth with greate pacience the vessels off wrath, which are ordeyned to damnacion: |
| 9:23 | that he mighte declare the riches off his glorye on ye vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared vnto glorye, |
| 9:24 | whom he hath called (namely vs) not onely of the Iewes, but also of the Gentyles. |
| 9:25 | As he sayeth also by Osee: I wil call that my people, which is not my people: and my beloued, which is not ye beloued. |
| 9:26 | And it shal come to passe in ye place, where it was sayde vnto them: Ye are not my people, there shal they be called the children of the lyuynge God. |
| 9:27 | But Esay crieth ouer Israel: Though the nombre of the children of Israel be as the sonde of the see, yet shal there but a remnaunt be saued. |
| 9:28 | For there is the worde, that fynisheth and shorteneth in righteousnes: for a shorte worde shal God make vpon earth. |
| 9:29 | And as Esay sayde before: Excepte the LORDE of Sabbaoth had lefte vs sede, we shulde haue bene as Sodoma, and like vnto Gomorra. |
| 9:30 | What shal we saye then? This wil we saye: The Heythen which folowed not righteousnes, haue ouertaken righteousnes: but I speake of the righteousnes that commeth of faith. |
| 9:31 | Agayne, Israel folowed the lawe of righteousnes, and attayned not vnto the lawe of righteousnes. |
| 9:32 | Why so? Euen because they soughte it not out of faith, but as it were out of the deseruynge of workes. For they haue stombled at the stomblinge stone. |
| 9:33 | As it is wrytten: Beholde, I laye in Sion a stone to stoble at, and a rocke to be offended at: and who so euer beleueth on him, shal not be confounded. |
| 9:1 | I seie treuthe in Crist Jhesu, Y lye not, for my conscience berith witnessyng to me in the Hooli Goost, |
| 9:2 | for greet heuynesse is to me, and contynuel sorewe to my herte. |
| 9:3 | For Y my silf desiride to be departid fro Crist for my britheren, that ben my cosyns aftir the fleisch, that ben men of Israel; |
| 9:4 | whos is adopcioun of sones, and glorie, and testament, and yyuyng of the lawe, and seruyce, and biheestis; |
| 9:5 | whos ben the fadris, and of which is Crist after the fleisch, that is God aboue alle thingis, blessid in to worldis. |
| 9:6 | Amen. But not that the word of God hath falle doun. For not alle that ben of Israel, these ben Israelitis. |
| 9:7 | Nethir thei that ben seed of Abraham, `alle ben sonys; but in Ysaac the seed schal be clepid to thee; |
| 9:8 | that is to seie, not thei that ben sones of the fleisch, ben sones of God, but thei that ben sones of biheeste ben demed in the seed. |
| 9:9 | For whi this is the word of biheest, Aftir this tyme Y schal come, and a sone schal be to Sare. |
| 9:10 | And not oneli sche, but also Rebecca hadde twey sones of o liggyng bi of Ysaac, oure fadir. |
| 9:11 | And whanne thei weren not yit borun, nether hadden don ony thing of good ether of yuel, that the purpos of God schulde dwelle bi eleccioun, |
| 9:12 | not of werkis, but of God clepynge, it was seid to hym, |
| 9:13 | that the more schulde serue the lesse, as it is writun, Y louede Jacob, but Y hatide Esau. |
| 9:14 | What therfor schulen we seie? Whether wickidnesse be anentis God? |
| 9:15 | God forbede. For he seith to Moyses, Y schal haue merci on whom Y haue merci; and Y schal yyue merci on whom Y schal haue merci. |
| 9:16 | Therfor it is not nether of man willynge, nethir rennynge, but of God hauynge mercy. |
| 9:17 | And the scripture seith to Farao, For to this thing Y haue stirid thee, that Y schewe in thee my vertu, and that my name be teld in al erthe. |
| 9:18 | Therfor of whom God wole, he hath merci; and whom he wole, he endurith. |
| 9:19 | Thanne seist thou to me, What is souyt yit? for who withstondith his wille? |
| 9:20 | O! man, who art thou, that answerist to God? Whether a maad thing seith to hym that made it, What hast thou maad me so? |
| 9:21 | Whether a potter of cley hath not power to make of the same gobet o vessel in to honour, an othere in to dispit? |
| 9:22 | That if God willynge to schewe his wraththe, and to make his power knowun, hath suffrid in greet pacience vessels of wraththe able in to deth, |
| 9:23 | to schewe the riytchessis of his glorie in to vessels of merci, whiche he made redi in to glorie. |
| 9:24 | Whiche also he clepide not oneli of Jewis, but also of hethene men, as he seith in Osee, |
| 9:25 | Y schal clepe not my puple my puple, and not my loued my louyd, and not getynge mercy getynge merci; |
| 9:26 | and it schal be in the place, where it is seid to hem, Not ye my puple, there thei schulen be clepid the sones of `God lyuynge. |
| 9:27 | But Isaye crieth for Israel, If the noumbre of Israel schal be as grauel of the see, the relifs schulen be maad saaf. |
| 9:28 | Forsothe a word makynge an ende, and abreggynge in equyte, for the Lord schal make a word breggid on al the erthe. |
| 9:29 | And as Ysaye bifor seide, But God of oostis hadde left to vs seed, we hadden be maad as Sodom, and we hadden be lijk as Gommor. |
| 9:30 | Therfor what schulen we seie? That hethene men that sueden not riytwisnesse, han gete riytwisnesse, yhe, the riytwisnesse that is of feith. |
| 9:31 | But Israel suynge the lawe of riytwisnesse, cam not parfitli in to the lawe of riytwisnesse. |
| 9:32 | Whi? For not of feith, but as of werkys. And thei spurneden ayens the stoon of offencioun, |
| 9:33 | as it is writun, Lo! Y putte a stoon of offensioun in Syon, and a stoon of sclaundre; and ech that schal bileue `in it, schal not be confoundid. |
