Romans 9
1 I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
[The] truth I speak in Christ, Not I am lying, while is bearing witness with me the conscience of mine in [the] Spirit Holy,
2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
that grief to me is great and unceasing sorrow in the heart of me.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers’ sake, my relatives according to the flesh
was wishing for a curse to be [my]self I myself separated from Christ for the brothers of mine the kinsmen of mine according to [the] flesh;
4 who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
who are Israelites, whose [is] the divine adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the lawgiving and the service and the promises,
5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
whose [are] the patriarchs and from whom [is] Christ according to the flesh, who is being over all God blessed to the ages, Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
[It is] not as however that has failed the word of God. Not for all who [are] of Israel [are] these Israel;
7 Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”
Nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, rather In Isaac will be named to you offspring.
8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.
That is not the children of the flesh these [are] children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as offspring.
9 For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”
Of [the] promise for the word [is] this: At time this I will come and there will be to Sarah a son.
10 Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
Not only then, but also Rebecca by one conception having Isaac the father of us;
11 For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,
not yet not yet for having been born nor having done anything good or (evil, *N+kO) so that the according to election purpose of God may stand, not of works but of the [One] calling,
12 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”
it was said to her that The older will serve the younger;
13 Even as it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
(Even as *NK+o) it has been written: Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
What then will we say? Not injustice with God [is there]? Never would it be!
15 For he said to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
To Moses for He says: I will show mercy to whom maybe I may show mercy and I will have compassion on whom maybe I may have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
So then [it is] not of the [one who is] willing nor of the [one who is] running but of the [one who is] showing mercy of God.
17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
Says for the Scripture to Pharaoh that For this very therefore I have raised up you so that I may show in you the power of Mine and that may be declared the name of Me in all the earth.
18 So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
So then to whom He wants He shows mercy, whom now He wants He hardens.
19 You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”
You will say to me then: Why (then *NO) still does He find fault? The for purpose of Him who has been resisting?
20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”
O man, but rather, you yourself who are who is answering against to God? Not will say the thing formed to the [One] having formed [it]; Why me did you make like this?
21 Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?
Or not has authority the potter over the clay out of the same lump to make one indeed unto honor vessel one however unto dishonor?
22 What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
What if now desiring God to show the wrath and to make known the power of Him bore with much patience [the] vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,
23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—
also that He may make known the riches of the glory of Him upon [the] vessels of mercy which He prepared beforehand for glory?
24 us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
whom even He has called us not only out from [the] Jews but also out from [the] Gentiles,
25 As he says also in Hosea, “I will call them ‘my people,’ which were not my people; and her ‘beloved,’ who was not beloved.”
As also in Hosea He says: I will call that which [is] not people of Mine people of Mine and her who not loved loved.
26 “It will be 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.’”
and It will happen that in the place where it was said to them; Not people of Mine [are] You yourselves, there they will be called sons of God [the] living.
27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;
Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: Though shall be the number of the sons of Israel as the sand of the sea, [only] the (vestige *N+kO) will be saved;
28 for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
[The] sentence for concluding and bringing swiftly (in righteousness for word brought swiftly *K) will perform [the] Lord upon the earth.
29 As Isaiah has said before, “Unless the Lord of Armies had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
And even as has foretold Isaiah: only unless [the] Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, like Sodom then we should have become and like Gomorrah then would we have been made.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
What then will we say? That Gentiles not pursuing righteousness have grasped righteousness, righteousness now that [is] by faith;
31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
Israel however pursuing a law of righteousness to [that] law (righteousness *k) not did attain.
32 Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
Because of why? Because [it was] not by faith but as by works (of law; *K) They stumbled (for *k) over the stone of stumbling
33 even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
even as it has been written: Behold I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and (everyone *K) who is believing on Him never will be put to shame.
