Romans - ch 9 v 1 - 20

  1. Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,
  2. that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart --
  3. for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,
  4. who are Israelites, whose `is' the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,
  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.
  6. And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who `are' of Israel are these Israel;
  7. nor because they are seed of Abraham `are' all children, but -- `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'
  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. for the word of promise `is' this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
  10. And not only `so', but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father --
  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 --
  12. `The greater shall serve the less;'
  13. according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'
  14. What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness `is' with God? let it not be!
  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;'
  16. so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:
  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;'
  18. so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
  19. Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'
  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?
