| Romans 9:1 | I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit, | And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father. | I tell the truth in Christ. I am not lying, my conscience testifying with me in the Holy Spirit, |
| Romans 9:2 | That I am full of sorrow and pain without end. | For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God, according to election, might stand,) | that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart. |
| Romans 9:3 | For I have a desire to take on myself the curse for my brothers, my family in the flesh: | Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger. | For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my relatives according to the flesh, |
| Romans 9:4 | Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God: | As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated. | who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises; |
| Romans 9:5 | Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it. | What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid. | whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. Amen. |
| Romans 9:6 | But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel: | For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy. | But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel. |
| Romans 9:7 | And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named. | So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. | Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called." |
| Romans 9:8 | That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed. | For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee, and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. | 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. |
| Romans 9:9 | For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son. | Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth. | For this is a word of promise, "At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son." |
| Romans 9:10 | And not only so, but Rebecca being about to have a child by our father Isaac | Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will? | Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac. |
| Romans 9:11 | Before the children had come into existence, or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose and his selection might be effected, not by works, but by him whose purpose it is, | O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it: Why hast thou made me thus? | 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, |
| Romans 9:12 | It was said to her, The older will be the servant of the younger. | Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? | it was said to her, "The elder will serve the younger." |
| Romans 9:13 | Even as it is said, I had love for Jacob, but for Esau I had hate. | What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction, | Even as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." |
| Romans 9:14 | What may we say then? is God not upright? let it not be said. | That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory? | What will we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! |
| Romans 9:15 | For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity. | Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles. | For he said to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." |
| Romans 9:16 | So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God. | As in Osee he saith: I will call that which was not my people, my people; and her that was not beloved, beloved; and her that had not obtained mercy, one that hath obtained mercy. | So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy. |
| Romans 9:17 | For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth. | And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God. | 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." |
| Romans 9:18 | So then, at his pleasure he has mercy on a man, and at his pleasure he makes the heart hard. | And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. | So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires. |
| Romans 9:19 | But you will say to me, Why does he still make us responsible? who is able to go against his purpose? | For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth. | You will say then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?" |
| Romans 9:20 | But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so? | And as Isaias foretold: Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and we had been like unto Gomorrha. | But no, man, who are you who replies against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" |
| Romans 9:21 | Or has not the potter the right to make out of one part of his earth a vessel for honour, and out of another a vessel for shame? | What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who followed not after justice, have attained to justice, even the justice that is of faith. | 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? |
| Romans 9:22 | What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction: | But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice. | What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made for destruction, |
| Romans 9:23 | And to make clear the wealth of his glory to vessels of mercy, which he had before made ready for glory, | Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone. | and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory, |
| Romans 9:24 | Even us, who were marked out by him, not only from the Jews, but from the Gentiles? | As it is written: Behold I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and a rock of scandal; and whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded. | us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? |
| Romans 9:25 | As he says in Hosea, They will be named my people who were not my people, and she will be loved who was not loved. | | As he says also in Hosea, "I will call them 'my people,' which were not my people; And her 'beloved,' who was not beloved." |
| Romans 9:26 | And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God. | | "It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There will they be called 'sons of the living God.'" |
| Romans 9:27 | And Isaiah says about Israel, Even if the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, only a small part will get salvation: | | 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; |
| Romans 9:28 | For the Lord will give effect to his word on the earth, putting an end to it and cutting it short. | | For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, Because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth." |
| Romans 9:29 | And, as Isaiah had said before, If the Lord of armies had not given us a seed, we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah. | | 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." |
| Romans 9:30 | What then may we say? That the nations who did not go after righteousness have got righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith: | | What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith; |
| Romans 9:31 | But Israel, going after a law of righteousness, did not get it. | | but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness. |
| Romans 9:32 | Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way; | | Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone; |
| Romans 9:33 | As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame. | | even as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. And no one who believes in him will be put to shame." |
