|
1. I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit,
|
1. I say G3004 the truth G225 in G1722 Christ G5547 , I lie G5574 not G3756 , my G3450 conscience G4893 also bearing me witness G4828 G3427 in G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151 ,
|
|
2. that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
|
2. That G3754 I G3427 have G2076 great G3173 heaviness G3077 and G2532 continual G88 sorrow G3601 in my G3450 heart G2588 .
|
|
3. For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my relatives according to the flesh,
|
3. For G1063 I G1473 could wish G2172 that myself G848 were G1511 accursed G331 from G575 Christ G5547 for G5228 my G3450 brethren G80 , my G3450 kinsmen G4773 according G2596 to the flesh G4561 :
|
|
4. who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises;
|
4. Who G3748 are G1526 Israelites G2475 ; to whom G3739 pertaineth the G3588 adoption G5206 , and G2532 the G3588 glory G1391 , and G2532 the G3588 covenants G1242 , and G2532 the G3588 giving of the law G3548 , and G2532 the G3588 service G2999 of God, and G2532 the G3588 promises G1860 ;
|
|
5. of whom are the fathers, and from whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen.
|
5. Whose G3739 are the G3588 fathers G3962 , and G2532 of G1537 whom G3739 as concerning G2596 the flesh G4561 Christ G5547 came, who is G5607 over G1909 all G3956 , God G2316 blessed G2128 forever G1519 G165 . Amen G281 .
|
|
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.
|
6. G1161 Not G3756 as though G3754 G3634 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 hath taken none effect G1601 . For G1063 they G3778 are not G3756 all G3956 Israel G2474 , which G3588 are of G1537 Israel G2474 :
|
|
7. Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called."
|
7. Neither G3761 , because G3754 they are G1526 the seed G4690 of Abraham G11 , are they all G3956 children G5043 : but G235 , In G1722 Isaac G2464 shall thy G4671 seed G4690 be called G2564 .
|
|
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 a seed.
|
8. That is G5123 , They which are the G3588 children G5043 of the G3588 flesh G4561 , these G5023 are not G3756 the children G5043 of God G2316 : but G235 the G3588 children G5043 of the G3588 promise G1860 are counted G3049 for G1519 the seed G4690 .
|
|
9. For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son."
|
9. For G1063 this G3778 is the G3588 word G3056 of promise G1860 , At G2596 this G5126 time G2540 will I come G2064 , and G2532 Sarah G4564 shall have G2071 a son G5207 .
|
|
10. Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
|
10. And G1161 not G3756 only G3440 this ; but G235 when Rebecca G4479 also G2532 had G2192 conceived G2845 by G1537 one G1520 , even by our G2257 father G3962 Isaac G2464 ;
|
|
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,
|
11. ( For G1063 the children being not yet G3380 born G1080 , neither G3366 having done G4238 any G5100 good G18 or G2228 evil G2556 , that G2443 the G3588 purpose G4286 of God G2316 according G2596 to election G1589 might stand G3306 , not G3756 of G1537 works G2041 , but G235 of G1537 him that calleth G2564 ;)
|
|
12. it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger."
|
12. It was said G4483 unto her G846 , The G3588 elder G3187 shall serve G1398 the G3588 younger G1640 .
|
|
13. Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
|
13. As G2531 it is written G1125 , Jacob G2384 have I loved G25 , but G1161 Esau G2269 have I hated G3404 .
|
|
14. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!
|
14. What G5101 shall we say G2046 then G3767 ? Is there G3361 unrighteousness G93 with G3844 God G2316 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 .
|
|
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."
|
15. For G1063 he saith G3004 to Moses G3475 , I will have mercy G1653 on whom G3739 G302 I will have mercy G1653 , and G2532 I will have compassion G3627 on whom G3739 G302 I will have compassion G3627 .
|
|
16. So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.
|
16. So G686 then G3767 it is not G3756 of him that willeth G2309 , nor G3761 of him that runneth G5143 , but G235 of God G2316 that showeth mercy G1653 .
|
|
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 published abroad in all the earth."
|
17. For G1063 the G3588 Scripture G1124 saith G3004 unto Pharaoh G5328 , Even for G1519 this same purpose G5124 G846 have I raised thee up G1825 G4571 , that G3704 I might show G1731 my G3450 power G1411 in G1722 thee G4671 , and G2532 that G3704 my G3450 name G3686 might be declared G1229 throughout G1722 all G3956 the G3588 earth G1093 .
|
|
18. So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
|
18. Therefore G686 G3767 hath he mercy G1653 on whom G3739 he will G2309 have mercy, and G1161 whom G3739 he will G2309 he hardeneth G4645 .
|
|
19. You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?"
|
19. Thou wilt say G2046 then G3767 unto me G3427 , Why G5101 doth he yet G2089 find fault G3201 ? For G1063 who G5101 hath resisted G436 his G846 will G1013 ?
|
|
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?"
|
20. Nay but G3304 , O G5599 man G444 , who G5101 art G1488 thou G4771 that repliest against G470 God G2316 ? Shall G3361 the G3588 thing formed G4110 say G2046 to him that formed G4111 it, Why G5101 hast thou made G4160 me G3165 thus G3779 ?
|
|
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?
|
21. G2228 Hath G2192 not G3756 the G3588 potter G2763 power G1849 over the G3588 clay G4081 , of G1537 the G3588 same G846 lump G5445 to make G4160 one G3739 G3303 vessel G4632 unto G1519 honor G5092 , and G1161 another G3739 unto G1519 dishonor G819 ?
|
|
22. What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction,
|
22. What G1161 if G1487 God G2316 , willing G2309 to show G1731 his wrath G3709 , and G2532 to make his power known G1107 G848 G1415 , endured G5342 with G1722 much G4183 longsuffering G3115 the vessels G4632 of wrath G3709 fitted G2675 to G1519 destruction G684 :
|
|
23. and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,
|
23. And G2532 that G2443 he might make known G1107 the G3588 riches G4149 of his G848 glory G1391 on G1909 the vessels G4632 of mercy G1656 , which G3739 he had afore prepared G4282 unto G1519 glory G1391 ,
|
|
24. us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
|
24. Even G2532 us G2248 , whom G3739 he hath called G2564 , not G3756 of G1537 the Jews G2453 only G3440 , but G235 also G2532 of G1537 the Gentiles G1484 ?
|
|
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."
|
25. As G5613 he saith G3004 also G2532 in G1722 Hosea G5617 , I will call G2564 them my G3450 people G2992 , which G3588 were not G3756 my G3450 people G2992 ; and G2532 her beloved G25 , which was not beloved G25 G3756 .
|
|
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.'"
|
26. And G2532 it shall come to pass G2071 , that in G1722 the G3588 place G5117 where G3757 it was said G4483 unto them G846 , Ye G5210 are not G3756 my G3450 people G2992 ; there G1563 shall they be called G2564 the children G5207 of the living G2198 God G2316 .
|
|
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;
|
27. Isaiah G2268 also G1161 crieth G2896 concerning G5228 Israel G2474 , Though G1437 the G3588 number G706 of the G3588 children G5207 of Israel G2474 be G5600 as G5613 the G3588 sand G285 of the G3588 sea G2281 , a remnant G2640 shall be saved G4982 :
|
|
28. For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth."
|
28. For G1063 he will finish G4931 the work G3056 , and G2532 cut it short G4932 in G1722 righteousness G1343 : because G3754 a short G4932 work G3056 will the Lord G2962 make G4160 upon G1909 the G3588 earth G1093 .
|
|
29. As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And would have been made like Gomorrah."
|
29. And G2532 as G2531 Isaiah G2268 said before G4280 , Except G1508 the Lord G2962 of Sabaoth G4519 had left G1459 us G2254 a seed G4690 , we had been G1096 G302 as G5613 Sodom G4670 , and G2532 been made like G3666 G302 unto G5613 Gomorrah G1116 .
|
|
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;
|
30. What G5101 shall we say G2046 then G3767 ? That G3754 the Gentiles G1484 , which G3588 followed G1377 not G3361 after righteousness G1343 , have attained G2638 to righteousness G1343 , even G1161 the righteousness G1343 which G3588 is of G1537 faith G4102 .
|
|
31. but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.
|
31. But G1161 Israel G2474 , which followed G1377 after the law G3551 of righteousness G1343 , hath not G3756 attained G5348 to G1519 the law G3551 of righteousness G1343 .
|
|
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;
|
32. Wherefore G1302 ? Because G3754 they sought it not G3756 by G1537 faith G4102 , but G235 as it were G5613 by G1537 the works G2041 of the law G3551 . For G1063 they stumbled G4350 at that stumblingstone G4348 G3037 ;
|
|
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."
|
33. As G2531 it is written G1125 , Behold G2400 , I lay G5087 in G1722 Zion G4622 a stumblingstone G4348 G3037 and G2532 rock G4073 of offense G4625 : and G2532 whosoever G3956 believeth G4100 on G1909 him G846 shall not G3756 be ashamed G2617 .
