| Romans 9:1 | I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, | And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once, of Isaac our father. | I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit, |
| Romans 9:2 | That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. | 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 uninterrupted pain in my heart, |
| Romans 9:3 | For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: | Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder shall serve the younger. | for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh; |
| Romans 9:4 | Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; | 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 law-giving, and the service, and the promises; |
| Romans 9:5 | Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. | What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid. | whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. |
| Romans 9:6 | Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which 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. | Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel; |
| Romans 9:7 | Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. | 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. |
| Romans 9:8 | That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for 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, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed. |
| Romans 9:9 | For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. | Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardeneth. | For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah. |
| Romans 9:10 | And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; | Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? for who resisteth his will? | And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father, |
| Romans 9:11 | (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) | 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? | [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls), |
| Romans 9:12 | It was said unto her, The elder shall serve 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 greater shall serve the less: |
| Romans 9:13 | As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. | 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 is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau. |
| Romans 9:14 | What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. | That he might shew the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory? | What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought. |
| Romans 9:15 | For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. | Even us, whom also he hath called, nor only of the Jews, but also of the Gentiles. | For he says to Moses, I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion. |
| Romans 9:16 | So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. | 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 that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy. |
| Romans 9:17 | For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout 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 thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth. |
| Romans 9:18 | Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. | 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 will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens. |
| Romans 9:19 | Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? | 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 to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose? |
| Romans 9:20 | Nay but, 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 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. | Aye, but thou, O man, who art *thou* that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
| Romans 9:21 | Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? | 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 authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour? |
| Romans 9:22 | What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: | But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice. | And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted for destruction; |
| Romans 9:23 | And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto 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 upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory, |
| Romans 9:24 | Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of 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 has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations? |
| Romans 9:25 | As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. | | As he says also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved Beloved. |
| Romans 9:26 | And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. | | And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, *Ye* [are] not my people, there shall they be called Sons of [the] living God. |
| Romans 9:27 | Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: | | But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved: |
| Romans 9:28 | For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. | | for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth. |
| Romans 9:29 | And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. | | And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha. |
| Romans 9:30 | What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. | | What then shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith. |
| Romans 9:31 | But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. | | But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law. |
| Romans 9:32 | Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; | | Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone, |
| Romans 9:33 | As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. | | according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed. |
