| 9:1 | Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit, |
| 9:2 | that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart -- |
| 9:3 | for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh, |
| 9:4 | who are Israelites, whose `is' the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises, |
| 9:5 | whose `are' the fathers, and of whom `is' the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. |
| 9:6 | And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who `are' of Israel are these Israel; |
| 9:7 | nor because they are seed of Abraham `are' all children, but -- `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;' |
| 9:8 | that is, the children of the flesh -- these `are' not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed; |
| 9:9 | for the word of promise `is' this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.' |
| 9:10 | And not only `so', but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father -- |
| 9:11 | (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her -- |
| 9:12 | `The greater shall serve the less;' |
| 9:13 | according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.' |
| 9:14 | What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness `is' with God? let it not be! |
| 9:15 | for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;' |
| 9:16 | so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness: |
| 9:17 | for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;' |
| 9:18 | so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden. |
| 9:19 | Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?' |
| 9:20 | nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form `it', Why me didst thou make thus? |
| 9:21 | hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour? |
| 9:22 | And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, |
| 9:23 | and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us -- |
| 9:24 | not only out of Jews, but also out of nations, |
| 9:25 | as also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what `is' not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved, |
| 9:26 | and it shall be -- in the place where it was said to them, Ye `are' not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.' |
| 9:27 | And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, `If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved; |
| 9:28 | for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land. |
| 9:29 | and according as Isaiah saith before, `Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.' |
| 9:30 | What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that `is' of faith, |
| 9:31 | and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive; |
| 9:32 | wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling, |
| 9:33 | according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon 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. |
| 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. |
