Romans 9 : 1 (YLT)

Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,

Romans 9 : 2 (YLT)

that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart --

Romans 9 : 3 (YLT)

for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,

Romans 9 : 4 (YLT)

who are Israelites, whose *is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,

Romans 9 : 5 (YLT)

whose *are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

Romans 9 : 6 (YLT)

And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who *are of Israel are these Israel;

Romans 9 : 7 (YLT)

nor because they are seed of Abraham *are all children, but -- `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;`

Romans 9 : 8 (YLT)

that is, the children of the flesh -- these *are not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;

Romans 9 : 9 (YLT)

for the word of promise *is this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.`

Romans 9 : 10 (YLT)

And not only *so , but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father --

Romans 9 : 11 (YLT)

(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 --

Romans 9 : 12 (YLT)

`The greater shall serve the less;`

Romans 9 : 13 (YLT)

according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.`

Romans 9 : 14 (YLT)

What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness *is with God? let it not be!

Romans 9 : 15 (YLT)

for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;`

Romans 9 : 16 (YLT)

so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

Romans 9 : 17 (YLT)

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;`

Romans 9 : 18 (YLT)

so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.

Romans 9 : 19 (YLT)

Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?`

Romans 9 : 20 (YLT)

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?

Romans 9 : 21 (YLT)

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?

Romans 9 : 22 (YLT)

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,

Romans 9 : 23 (YLT)

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 --

Romans 9 : 24 (YLT)

not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,

Romans 9 : 25 (YLT)

as also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what *is not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved,

Romans 9 : 26 (YLT)

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.`

Romans 9 : 27 (YLT)

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;

Romans 9 : 28 (YLT)

for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.

Romans 9 : 29 (YLT)

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.`

Romans 9 : 30 (YLT)

What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that *is of faith,

Romans 9 : 31 (YLT)

and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

Romans 9 : 32 (YLT)

wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

Romans 9 : 33 (YLT)

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.`
