9:1 | I say <3004> (5719) the truth <225> in <1722> Christ <5547>, I lie <5574> (5736) not <3756>, my <3450> conscience <4893> also bearing <4828> (0) me <3427> witness <4828> (5723) in <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>, |
9:2 | That <3754> I <3427> have <2076> (5748) great <3173> heaviness <3077> and <2532> continual <88> sorrow in <3601> my <3450> heart <2588>. |
9:3 | For <1063> I <1473> could wish <2172> (5711) that myself <846> were <1511> (5750) accursed <331> from <575> Christ <5547> for <5228> my <3450> brethren <80>, my <3450> kinsmen <4773> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>: {accursed: or, separated} |
9:4 | Who <3748> are <1526> (5748) Israelites <2475>; to whom <3739> [pertaineth] the adoption <5206>, and <2532> the glory <1391>, and <2532> the covenants <1242>, and <2532> the giving of the law <3548>, and <2532> the service <2999> [of God], and <2532> the promises <1860>; {covenants: or, testaments} |
9:5 | Whose <3739> [are] the fathers <3962>, and <2532> of <1537> whom <3739> as concerning <2596> the flesh <4561> Christ <5547> [came], who <5607> (5752) is over <1909> all <3956>, God <2316> blessed <2128> for <1519> ever <165>. Amen <281>. |
9:6 | Not <3756> as <3634> though <1161> <3754> the word <3056> of God <2316> hath taken none effect <1601> (5758). For <1063> they [are] not <3756> all <3956> <1537> Israel <2474>, which <3588> <3778> are of Israel <2474>: |
9:7 | Neither <3761>, because <3754> they are <1526> (5748) the seed <4690> of Abraham <11>, [are they] all <3956> children <5043>: but <235>, In <1722> Isaac <2464> shall <2564> (0) thy <4671> seed <4690> be called <2564> (5701). |
9:8 | That is <5123> (5748), They which are the children <5043> of the flesh <4561>, these <5023> [are] not <3756> the children <5043> of God <2316>: but <235> the children <5043> of the promise <1860> are counted <3049> (5736) for <1519> the seed <4690>. |
9:9 | For <1063> this <3778> [is] the word <3056> of promise <1860>, At <2596> this <5126> time <2540> will I come <2064> (5695), and <2532> Sara <4564> shall have <2071> (5704) a son <5207>. |
9:10 | And <1161> not <3756> only <3440> [this]; but <235> when Rebecca <4479> also <2532> had conceived <2845> by <1537> one <1520> <2192> (5723), [even] by our <2257> father <3962> Isaac <2464>; |
9:11 | (For <1063> [the children] being <1080> (0) not yet <3380> born <1080> (5685), neither <3366> having done <4238> (5660) any <5100> good <18> or <2228> evil <2556>, that <2443> the purpose <4286> of God <2316> according <2596> to election <1589> might stand <3306> (5725), not <3756> of <1537> works <2041>, but <235> of <1537> him that calleth <2564> (5723);) |
9:12 | <3754> It was said <4483> (5681) unto her <846>, The elder <3187> shall serve <1398> (5692) the younger <1640>. {elder: or, greater} {younger: or, lesser} |
9:13 | As <2531> it is written <1125> (5769), Jacob <2384> have I loved <25> (5656), but <1161> Esau <2269> have I hated <3404> (5656). |
9:14 | What <5101> shall we say <2046> (5692) then <3767>? <3361> [Is there] unrighteousness <93> with <3844> God <2316>? God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636). |
9:15 | For <1063> he saith <3004> (5719) to Moses <3475>, I will have mercy on <1653> (5692) whom <3739> <302> I will have mercy <1653> (5725), and <2532> I will have compassion <3627> (5692) on whom <3739> <302> I will have compassion <3627> (5725). |
9:16 | So <686> then <3767> [it is] not <3756> of him that willeth <2309> (5723), nor <3761> of him that runneth <5143> (5723), but <235> of God <2316> that sheweth mercy <1653> (5723). |
9:17 | For <1063> the scripture <1124> saith <3004> (5719) unto Pharaoh <5328>, Even for <3754> <1519> this <5124> same purpose <846> have I raised <1825> (0) thee <4571> up <1825> (5656), that <3704> I might shew <1731> (5672) my <3450> power <1411> in <1722> thee <4671>, and <2532> that <3704> my <3450> name <3686> might be declared <1229> (5652) throughout <1722> all <3956> the earth <1093>. |
9:18 | Therefore <686> <3767> hath he mercy <1653> (5719) on whom <3739> he will <2309> (5719) [have mercy], and <1161> whom <3739> he will <2309> (5719) he hardeneth <4645> (5719). |
9:19 | Thou wilt say <2046> (5692) then <3767> unto me <3427>, Why <5101> doth he yet <2089> find fault <3201> (5736)? For <1063> who <5101> hath resisted <436> (5758) his <846> will <1013>? |
9:20 | Nay but <3304>, O <5599> man <444>, who <5101> art <1488> (5748) thou <4771> that repliest against <470> (5740) God <2316>? <3361> Shall <2046> (0) the thing formed <4110> say <2046> (5692) to him that formed <4111> (5660) [it], Why <5101> hast thou made <4160> (5656) me <3165> thus <3779>? {repliest...: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?} |
9:21 | <2228> Hath <2192> (5719) not <3756> the potter <2763> power <1849> over the clay <4081>, of <1537> the same <846> lump <5445> to <3739> <3303> make <4160> (5658) one vessel <4632> unto <1519> honour <5092>, and <1161> another <3739> unto <1519> dishonour <819>? |
9:22 | [What] if <1487> <1161> God <2316>, willing <2309> (5723) to shew <1731> (5670) [his] wrath <3709>, and <2532> to make <1107> (0) his <846> power <1415> known <1107> (5658), endured <5342> (5656) with <1722> much <4183> longsuffering <3115> the vessels <4632> of wrath <3709> fitted <2675> (5772) to <1519> destruction <684>: {fitted: or, made up} |
9:23 | And <2532> that <2443> he might make known <1107> (5661) the riches <4149> of his <846> glory <1391> on <1909> the vessels <4632> of mercy <1656>, which <3739> he had afore prepared <4282> (5656) unto <1519> glory <1391>, |
9:24 | <3739> Even <2532> us <2248>, whom <3739> he hath called <2564> (5656), not <3756> of <1537> the Jews <2453> only <3440>, but <235> also <2532> of <1537> the Gentiles <1484>? |
9:25 | As he saith <3004> (5719) also <2532> in <1722> Osee <5617>, I will call <2564> (5692) them my <3450> people <2992>, which were not <3756> my <3450> people <2992>; and <2532> her beloved <25> (5772), which was <25> (0) not <3756> beloved <25> (5772). |
9:26 | And <2532> it shall come to pass <2071> (5704), [that] in <1722> the place <5117> where <3757> (5625) <3739> it was said <4483> (5681) unto them <846>, Ye <5210> [are] not <3756> my <3450> people <2992>; there <1563> shall they be called <2564> (5701) the children <5207> of the living <2198> (5723) God <2316>. |
9:27 | Esaias <2268> also <1161> crieth <2896> (5719) concerning <5228> Israel <2474>, Though <1437> the number <706> of the children <5207> of Israel <2474> be <5600> (5753) as <5613> the sand <285> of the sea <2281>, a remnant <2640> shall be saved <4982> (5701): |
9:28 | For <1063> he will finish <4931> (5723) the work <3056>, and <2532> cut [it] short <4932> (5723) in <1722> righteousness <1343>: because <3754> a short <4932> (5772) work <3056> will <4160> (0) the Lord <2962> make <4160> (5692) upon <1909> the earth <1093>. {the work: or, the account} |
9:29 | And <2532> as <2531> Esaias <2268> said before <4280> (5758), Except <1508> the Lord <2962> of Sabaoth <4519> had left <1459> (5627) us <2254> a seed <4690>, we had been <302> <1096> (5675) as <5613> Sodoma <4670>, and <2532> been made like <302> <3666> (5681) unto <5613> Gomorrha <1116>. {Sabaoth: Heb. hosts} |
9:30 | What <5101> shall we say <2046> (5692) then <3767>? That <3754> the Gentiles <1484>, which <3588> followed <1377> (5723) not <3361> after righteousness <1343>, have attained <2638> (5627) to righteousness <1343>, even <1161> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of <1537> faith <4102>. |
9:31 | But <1161> Israel <2474>, which followed <1377> (5723) after the law <3551> of righteousness <1343>, hath <5348> (0) not <3756> attained <5348> (5656) to <1519> the law <3551> of righteousness <1343>. |
9:32 | Wherefore <1302>? Because <3754> [they sought it] not <3756> by <1537> faith <4102>, but <235> as <5613> it were by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>. For <1063> they stumbled <4350> (5656) at that stumblingstone <3037> <4348>; |
9:33 | As <2531> it is written <1125> (5769), Behold <2400> (5628), I lay <5087> (5719) in <1722> Sion <4622> a stumblingstone <3037> <4348> and <2532> rock <4073> of offence <4625>: and <2532> whosoever <3956> believeth <4100> (5723) on <1909> him <846> shall <2617> (0) not <3756> be ashamed <2617> (5701). {ashamed: or confounded} |
