| 9:1 | I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, |
| 9:2 | that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. |
| 9:3 | Because, I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, |
| 9:4 | who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; |
| 9:5 | of whom are the fathers and of whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, blessed by God forever. Amen. |
| 9:6 | But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. Because, they are not all Israel who are of Israel, |
| 9:7 | nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed will be called." |
| 9:8 | That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. |
| 9:9 | Because, this is the word of promise: "At this time I will come and Sarah will have a son." |
| 9:10 | And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, that is by our father Isaac |
| 9:11 | (because, the children being not yet born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), |
| 9:12 | it was said to her, "The older will serve the younger." |
| 9:13 | As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated." |
| 9:14 | What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid! |
| 9:15 | Because, He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." |
| 9:16 | So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. |
| 9:17 | Because, the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared throughout all the earth." |
| 9:18 | Therefore He has mercy on whom He will have mercy, and whom He wills He hardens. |
| 9:19 | You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? Because who has resisted His will?" |
| 9:20 | But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" |
| 9:21 | Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? |
| 9:22 | What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, |
| 9:23 | and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, |
| 9:24 | even us whom He has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? |
| 9:25 | As He says also in Hosea: "I will call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved." |
| 9:26 | "And it will come to pass 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." |
| 9:27 | Isaiah also proclaims concerning Israel: "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant will be saved. |
| 9:28 | Because, He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth." |
| 9:29 | And as Isaiah said before: "Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah." |
| 9:30 | What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith; |
| 9:31 | but Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. |
| 9:32 | Why? Because, they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. Because they stumbled at that stumbling stone. |
| 9:33 | As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." |
| 9:1 | I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost, |
| 9:2 | That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart. |
| 9:3 | For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh, |
| 9:4 | Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises. |
| 9:5 | Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen. |
| 9:6 | Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel: |
| 9:7 | Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called: |
| 9:8 | That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede. |
| 9:9 | For this is a worde of promise, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne. |
| 9:10 | Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac. |
| 9:11 | For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth) |
| 9:12 | It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger. |
| 9:13 | As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau. |
| 9:14 | What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid. |
| 9:15 | For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion. |
| 9:16 | So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy. |
| 9:17 | For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth. |
| 9:18 | Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth. |
| 9:19 | Thou wilt say then vnto me, Why doeth he yet complaine? for who hath resisted his will? |
| 9:20 | But, O man, who art thou which pleadest 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 of the clay to make of the same lumpe one vessell to honour, and another vnto dishonour? |
| 9:22 | What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction? |
| 9:23 | And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory? |
| 9:24 | Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles, |
| 9:25 | As he sayth 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 shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God. |
| 9:27 | Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued. |
| 9:28 | For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth. |
| 9:29 | And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha. |
| 9:30 | What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith. |
| 9:31 | But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes. |
| 9:32 | Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone, |
| 9:33 | As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed. |
| 9:1 | I saye the trueth in Christ and lye not in that wherof my conscience beareth me witnes in the holy gost |
| 9:2 | that I have gret hevynes and continuall sorowe in my hert. |
| 9:3 | For I have wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Christ for my brethren and my kynsmen as pertayninge to the flesshe |
| 9:4 | which are the Israelites. To whom pertayneth the adopcion and the glorie and the covenauntes and the law that was geven and the service of God and the promyses: |
| 9:5 | whose also are the fathers and they of whome (as concernynge the flesshe) Christ came which is God over all thinges blessed for ever Amen. |
| 9:6 | I speake not these thinges as though the wordes of god had take none effecte. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel: |
| 9:7 | nether are they all chyldren strayght waye because they are the seed of Abraham. But in Isaac shall thy seede be called: |
| 9:8 | that is to saye they which are the chyldren of the flesshe are not the chyldren of god. But the chyldren of promes are counted the seede. |
| 9:9 | For this is a worde of promes aboute this tyme will I come and Sara shall have a sonne. |
| 9:10 | Nether was it so wt her only: but also when Rebecca was with chylde by one I meane by oure father Isaac |
| 9:11 | yeer the chyldren were borne when they had nether done good nether bad: that the purpose of God which is by election myght stonde |
| 9:12 | it was sayde vnto her not by the reason of workes but by grace of ye caller: the elder shall serve the yonger. |
| 9:13 | As it is written: Iacob he loved but Esau he hated. |
| 9:14 | What shall we saye then? is there eny vnrightewesses with God? God forbyd. |
| 9:15 | For he sayth to Moses: I will shewe mercye to who I shewe mercy: and will have compassion on whom I have copassion. |
| 9:16 | So lieth it not then in a mans will or cunnynge but in ye mercye of god. |
| 9:17 | For the scripture sayth vnto Pharao: Even for this same purpose have I stered ye vp to shewe my power on ye and that my name myght be declared thorow out all the worlde. |
| 9:18 | So hath he mercye on whom he will and whom he will he maketh hearde herted. |
| 9:19 | Thou wilt saye then vnto me: why then blameth he vs yet? For who can resist his will? |
| 9:20 | But o man what arte thou which disputest with God? Shall the worke saye to the workeman: why hast thou made me on this fassion? |
| 9:21 | Hath not the potter power over the claye even of the same lompe to make one vessell vnto honoure and a nother vnto dishonoure? |
| 9:22 | Even so God willynge to shewe his wrath and to make his power knowen suffered with longe pacience the vessels of wrath ordeyned to damnacion |
| 9:23 | that he myght declare ye ryches of his glory on the vessels of mercye which he had prepayred vnto glorie: |
| 9:24 | that is to saye vs which he called not of the Iewes only but also of ye gentyls. |
| 9:25 | As he sayth in Osee: I will call them my people which were not my people: and her beloved which was not beloved. |
| 9:26 | And it shall come to passe in the place where it was sayd vnto them ye are not my people: that there shalbe called the chyldren of the lyvynge God. |
| 9:27 | But Esaias cryeth concernynge Israel though the nomber of the chyldren of Israel be as the sonde of the see yet shall a remnaut be saved. |
| 9:28 | He finyssheth the worde verely and maketh it short in ryghtwesses. For a short worde will god make on erth. |
| 9:29 | And as Esaias sayd before: Except the Lorde of sabaoth had left us seede we had bene made as Zodoma and had bene lykened to Gomorra. |
| 9:30 | What shall we saye then? We saye that the gentyls which followed not rightewesnes have overtaken rightewesnes: I meane the rightewesnes which cometh of fayth. |
| 9:31 | But Israel which folowed the lawe of rightewesnes coulde not attayne vnto ye lawe of rightewesnes. |
| 9:32 | And wherfore? Because they sought it not by fath: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they have stombled at the stomblynge stone. |
| 9:33 | As it is written: Beholde I put in Syon a stomblynge stone and a rocke which shall make men faule. And none yt beleve on him shalbe a shamed. |
