| Romans 9:1 | I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, | 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 9:2 | That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. | 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 9:3 | For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: | 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 9:4 | 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; | 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 9:5 | Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. | 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 9:6 | Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: | 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 9:7 | Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. | 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 9:8 | 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. | 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 9:9 | For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. | 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 9:10 | And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; | 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 9:11 | (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;) | (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 9:12 | It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. | `The greater shall serve the less;` | "The elder of them will be bondservant to the younger." |
| Romans 9:13 | As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. | 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 9:14 | What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. | 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 9:15 | 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. | 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 9:16 | So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth 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 9:17 | 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. | 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 9:18 | Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. | 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 9:19 | Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? | 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 9:20 | 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? | 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 9:21 | Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? | 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 9:22 | 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: | 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 9:23 | And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, | 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 9:24 | Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? | 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? |
| 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 also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what [is] not My people My people; and her not beloved Beloved, | So also in Hosea He says, "I will call that nation My People which was not My People, and I will call her beloved who was not 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 they shall be called sons of the living God.` | And in the place where it was said to them, `No people of Mine are you,' there shall they be called sons of the everliving 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: | And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, `If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved; | And Isaiah cries aloud concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be like the sands of the sea, only a remnant of them 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 a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land. | for the Lord will hold a reckoning upon the earth, making it efficacious and brief." |
| 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 Isaiah saith before, `Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.` | Even as Isaiah says in an earlier place, "Were it not that the Lord, the God of Hosts, had left us some few descendants, we should have become like Sodom, and have come to resemble Gomorrah." |
| 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 nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith, | To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it a righteousness, however, which arises from faith; |
| Romans 9:31 | But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. | and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive; | while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one. |
| 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 not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling, | And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way; |
| 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 hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.` | in agreement with the statement of Scripture, "See, I am placing on Mount Zion a stone for people to stumble at, and a rock for them to trip over, and yet he whose faith rests upon it shall never have reason to feel ashamed." |
