| Romans 9:1 | And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father. | I am telling you the truth as a Christian man it is no falsehood, for my conscience enlightened, as it is, by the Holy Spirit adds its testimony to mine | I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, |
| Romans 9:11 | 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,) | when I declare that I have deep grief and unceasing anguish of heart. | that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart. |
| Romans 9:12 | Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger. | For I could pray to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my human kinsfolk for such the Israelites are. | For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren's sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh: |
| Romans 9:13 | As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated. | To them belongs recognition as God's sons, and they have His glorious Presence and the Covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the Temple service, and the ancient Promises. | who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises; |
| Romans 9:14 | What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid. | To them the Patriarchs belong, and from them in respect of His human lineage came the Christ, who is exalted above all, God blessed throughout the Ages. Amen. | whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. |
| Romans 9:15 | 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. | Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as Israel, | But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel: |
| Romans 9:16 | So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. | nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was "Through Isaac shall your posterity be reckoned." | neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. |
| Romans 9:17 | 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. | In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity. | That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed. |
| Romans 9:18 | Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth. | For the words are the language of promise and run thus, "About this time next year I will come, and Sarah shall have a son." | For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. |
| Romans 9:19 | Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will? | Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather Isaac | And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac-- |
| Romans 9:20 | 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? | and even then, though they were not then born and had not done anything either good or evil, yet in order that God's electing purpose might not be frustrated, based, as it was, not on their actions but on the will of Him who called them, she was told, | for [the children] 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 that calleth, |
| Romans 9:21 | Or hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump, to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? | "The elder of them will be bondservant to the younger." | it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. |
| Romans 9:22 | What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction, | This agrees with the other Scripture which says, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated." | Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated. |
| Romans 9:23 | That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory? | What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God? | What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. |
| Romans 9:24 | Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles. | No, indeed; the solution is found in His words to Moses, "Wherever I show mercy it shall be nothing but mercy, and wherever I show compassion it shall be simply compassion." | For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. |
| Romans 9:25 | 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. | And from this we learn that everything is dependent not on man's will or endeavour, but upon God who has mercy. For the Scripture said to Pharaoh, | So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy. |
| Romans 9:26 | 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. | "It is for this very purpose that I have lifted you so high that I may make manifest in you My power, and that My name may be proclaimed far and wide in all the earth." | For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth. |
| Romans 9:27 | 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. | This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart. | So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth. |
| Romans 9:28 | For he shall finish his word, and cut it short in justice; because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth. | "Why then does God still find fault?" you will ask; "for who is resisting His will?" | Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will? |
| Romans 9:29 | 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. | Nay, but who are you, a mere man, that you should cavil against GOD? Shall the thing moulded say to him who moulded it, "Why have you made me thus?" | Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus? |
| Romans 9:30 | 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 has not the potter rightful power over the clay to make out of the same lump one vessel for more honourable and another for less honourable uses? | Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor? |
| Romans 9:31 | But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice. | And what if God, while choosing to make manifest the terrors of His anger and to show what is possible with Him, has yet borne with long-forbearing patience with the subjects of His anger who stand ready for destruction, | What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction: |
| Romans 9:32 | Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone. | in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for glory, | and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory, |
| Romans 9:33 | 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. | even towards us whom He has called not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles? | [even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles? |
