Romans 9
9:1

I say3004 the truth225 in1722 Messiah5547, I lie5574 not3756, my3450 conscience4893 also bearing4828 me3427 witness4828 in1722 the Holy40 Spirit4151,

9:2

That3754 I3427 have2076 great3173 heaviness3077 and2532 continual88 sorrow in3601 my3450 heart2588.

9:3

For1063 I1473 could wish2172 that myself846 were1511 accursed331 from575 Messiah5547 for5228 my3450 brethren80, my3450 kinsmen4773 according2596 to the flesh4561:

9:4

Who3748 are1526 Israelites2475; to whom3739 pertaineth the adoption5206, and2532 the glory1391, and2532 the covenants1242, and2532 the giving of the law3548, and2532 the service2999 of Elohim, and2532 the promises1860;

9:5

Whose3739 are the fathers3962, and2532 of1537 whom3739 as concerning2596 the flesh4561 Messiah5547 came, who5607 is over1909 all3956, Elohim2316 blessed2128 for1519 ever165. Amen281.

9:6

Not3756 as3634 though1161 the word3056 of Elohim2316 hath taken none effect1601. For1063 they are not3756 all3956 Israel2474, which3588 are of Israel2474:

9:7

Neither3761, because3754 they are1526 the seed4690 of Abraham11, are they all3956 children5043: but235, In1722 Isaac2464 shall2564 thy4671 seed4690 be called2564.

9:8

That is5123, They which are the children5043 of the flesh4561, these5023 are not3756 the children5043 of Elohim2316: but235 the children5043 of the promise1860 are counted3049 for1519 the seed4690.

9:9

For1063 this3778 is the word3056 of promise1860, At2596 this5126 time2540 will I come2064, and2532 Sara4564 shall have2071 a son5207.

9:10

And1161 not3756 only3440 this; but235 when Rebecca4479 also2532 had conceived2845 by1537 one1520, even by our2257 father3962 Isaac2464;

9:11

(For the children being1080 not yet3380 born1080, neither3366 having done4238 any5100 good18 or2228 evil2556, that2443 the purpose4286 of Elohim2316 according2596 to election1589 might stand3306, not3756 of1537 works2041, but235 of1537 him that calleth2564;)

9:12

It was said4483 unto her846, The elder3187 shall serve1398 the younger1640.

9:13

As2531 it is written1125, Jacob2384 have I loved25, but1161 Esau2269 have I hated3404.

9:14

What5101 shall we say2046 then3767?3361 Is there unrighteousness93 with3844 Elohim2316? Certainly not3361.

9:15

For1063 he saith3004 to Moses3475, I will have mercy on1653 whom3739 I will have mercy1653, and2532 I will have compassion3627 on whom3739 I will have compassion3627.

9:16

So686 then3767 it is not3756 of him that willeth2309, nor3761 of him that runneth5143, but235 of Elohim2316 that sheweth mercy1653.

9:17

For1063 the scripture1124 saith3004 unto Pharaoh5328, Even for3754 this5124 same purpose846 have I raised1825 thee4571 up1825, that3704 I might shew1731 my3450 power1411 in1722 thee4671, and2532 that3704 my3450 name3686 might be declared1229 throughout1722 all3956 the earth1093.

9:18

Therefore686 hath he mercy1653 on whom3739 he will2309 have mercy, and1161 whom3739 he will2309 he hardeneth4645.

9:19

Thou wilt say2046 then3767 unto me3427, Why5101 doth he yet2089 find fault3201? For1063 who5101 hath resisted436 his846 will1013?

9:20

Nay but3304, O5599 man444, who5101 art1488 thou4771 that repliest against470 Elohim2316?3361 Shall2046 the thing formed4110 say2046 to him that formed4111 it, Why5101 hast thou made4160 me3165 thus3779?

9:21

Hath2192 not3756 the potter2763 power1849 over the clay4081, of1537 the same846 lump5445 to3739 make4160 one vessel4632 unto1519 honour5092, and1161 another3739 unto1519 dishonour819?

9:22

What if1487 Elohim2316, willing2309 to shew1731 his wrath3709, and2532 to make1107 his846 power1415 known1107, endured5342 with1722 much4183 longsuffering3115 the vessels4632 of wrath3709 fitted2675 to1519 destruction684:

9:23

And2532 that2443 he might make known1107 the riches4149 of his846 glory1391 on1909 the vessels4632 of mercy1656, which3739 he had afore prepared4282 unto1519 glory1391,

9:24

Even2532 us2248, whom3739 he hath called2564, not3756 of1537 the Jews2453 only3440, but235 also2532 of1537 the Gentiles1484?

9:25

As he saith3004 also2532 in1722 Osee5617, I will call2564 them my3450 people2992, which were not3756 my3450 people2992; and2532 her beloved25, which was25 not3756 beloved25.

9:26

And2532 it shall come to pass2071, that in1722 the place5117 where3757 it was said4483 unto them846, Ye5210 are not3756 my3450 people2992; there1563 shall they be called2564 the children5207 of the living2198 Elohim2316.

9:27

Esaias2268 also1161 crieth2896 concerning5228 Israel2474, Though1437 the number706 of the children5207 of Israel2474 be5600 as5613 the sand285 of the sea2281, a remnant2640 shall be saved4982:

9:28

For1063 he will finish4931 the work3056, and2532 cut it short4932 in1722 righteousness1343: because3754 a short4932 work3056 will4160 Yahweh2962 make4160 upon1909 the earth1093.

9:29

And2532 as2531 Esaias2268 said before4280, Except1508 Yahweh2962 Sabaoth4519 had left1459 us2254 a seed4690, we had been302 as5613 Sodom4670, and2532 been made like302 unto5613 Gomorrha1116.

9:30

What5101 shall we say2046 then3767? That3754 the Gentiles1484, which3588 followed1377 not3361 after righteousness1343, have attained2638 to righteousness1343, even1161 the righteousness1343 which3588 is of1537 faith4102.

9:31

But1161 Israel2474, which followed1377 after the law3551 of righteousness1343, hath5348 not3756 attained5348 to1519 the law3551 of righteousness1343.

9:32

Wherefore1302? Because3754 they sought it not3756 by1537 faith4102, but235 as5613 it were by1537 the works2041 of the law3551. For1063 they stumbled4350 at that stumblingstone3037;

9:33

As2531 it is written1125, Behold2400, I lay5087 in1722 Sion4622 a stumblingstone3037 and2532 rock4073 of offence4625: and2532 whosoever3956 believeth4100 on1909 him846 shall2617 not3756 be ashamed2617.
