| Romans 9:1 | 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, | I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit, |
| Romans 9:2 | when I declare that I have deep grief and unceasing anguish of heart. | that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart. | that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart, |
| Romans 9:3 | 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: | for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh; |
| Romans 9:4 | 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; | 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 | 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. | 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 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: | Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel; |
| Romans 9:7 | 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. | nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee. |
| Romans 9:8 | 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. | 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 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. | For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah. |
| Romans 9:10 | 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-- | And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father, |
| Romans 9:11 | 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, | [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 | "The elder of them will be bondservant to the younger." | it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. | it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less: |
| Romans 9:13 | 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. | according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau. |
| Romans 9:14 | What then are we to infer? That there is injustice in God? | What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. | What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought. |
| Romans 9:15 | 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. | 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 | 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. | So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy. |
| Romans 9:17 | "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. | 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 | 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. | So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens. |
| Romans 9:19 | "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? | Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose? |
| Romans 9:20 | 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? | 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 | 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? | 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 | 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: | 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 | 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, | 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 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? | us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations? |
| Romans 9:25 | 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. | As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that 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 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." | And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons 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 | 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; | And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that 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 the Lord will hold a reckoning upon the earth, making it efficacious and brief." | for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short. | 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 | 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." | And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah. | 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 | 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; | What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, 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 | while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one. | but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law. | But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law. |
| Romans 9:32 | 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; | Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling; | Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone, |
| Romans 9:33 | 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." | even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. | 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. |
