| Romans 9:1 | And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father. | Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit, | 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 |
| 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,) | that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart | when I declare that I have deep grief and unceasing anguish of 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 was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh, | For I could pray to be accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my human kinsfolk for such the Israelites are. |
| Romans 9:13 | As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated. | who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises, | 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. |
| Romans 9:14 | What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid. | whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. | 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. |
| 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. | And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel; | Not however that God's word has failed; for all who have sprung from Israel do not count as 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 seed of Abraham [are] all children, but `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;` | nor because they are Abraham's true children. But the promise was "Through Isaac shall your posterity be reckoned." |
| 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. | that is, the children of the flesh these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed; | 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. |
| Romans 9:18 | Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth. | for the word of promise [is] this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.` | 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." |
| Romans 9:19 | Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will? | And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one Isaac our father | Nor is that all: later on there was Rebecca too. She was soon to bear two children to her husband, our forefather 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? | (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her | 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, |
| 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 greater shall serve the less;` | "The elder of them will be bondservant to 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, | according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.` | This agrees with the other Scripture which says, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have 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, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be! | What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God? |
| Romans 9:24 | Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles. | for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;` | 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." |
| 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. | so, then not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness: | 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, |
| 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. | for the Writing saith to Pharaoh `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;` | "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." |
| 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. | so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden. | This is a proof that wherever He chooses He shows mercy, and wherever he chooses He hardens the heart. |
| 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. | Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?` | "Why then does God still find fault?" you will ask; "for who is resisting 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, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus? | 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?" |
| 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. | hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour? | 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? |
| Romans 9:31 | But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice. | And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, | 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, |
| Romans 9:32 | 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 kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call us | in order to make known His infinite goodness towards the subjects of His mercy whom He has prepared beforehand for 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. | not only out of Jews, but also out of nations, | even towards us whom He has called not only from among the Jews but also from among the Gentiles? |
