9:1 I say 3004 5719 the truth 225 in 1722 Christ 5547, I lie 5574 5736 not 3756, my 3450 conscience 4893 also bearing 4828 0 me 3427 witness 4828 5723 in 1722 the Holy 40 Ghost 4151,

9:2 That 3754 I 3427 have 2076 5748 great 3173 heaviness 3077 and 2532 continual 88 sorrow in 3601 my 3450 heart 2588.

9:3 For 1063 I 1473 could wish 2172 5711 that myself 846 were 1511 5750 accursed 331 from 575 Christ 5547 for 5228 my 3450 brethren 80, my 3450 kinsmen 4773 according 2596 to the flesh 4561:(accursed: or, separated)

9:4 Who 3748 are 1526 5748 Israelites 2475; to whom 3739 [pertaineth] the adoption 5206, and 2532 the glory 1391, and 2532 the covenants 1242, and 2532 the giving of the law 3548, and 2532 the service 2999 [of God], and 2532 the promises 1860;(covenants: or, testaments)

9:5 Whose 3739 [are] the fathers 3962, and 2532 of 1537 whom 3739 as concerning 2596 the flesh 4561 Christ 5547 [came], who 5607 5752 is over 1909 all 3956, God 2316 blessed 2128 for 1519 ever 165. Amen 281.

9:6 Not 3756 as 3634 though 1161 3754 the word 3056 of God 2316 hath taken none effect 1601 5758. For 1063 they [are] not 3756 all 3956 1537 Israel 2474, which 3588 3778 are of Israel 2474:

9:7 Neither 3761, because 3754 they are 1526 5748 the seed 4690 of Abraham 11, [are they] all 3956 children 5043: but 235, In 1722 Isaac 2464 shall 2564 0 thy 4671 seed 4690 be called 2564 5701.

9:8 That is 5123 5748, They which are the children 5043 of the flesh 4561, these 5023 [are] not 3756 the children 5043 of God 2316: but 235 the children 5043 of the promise 1860 are counted 3049 5736 for 1519 the seed 4690.

9:9 For 1063 this 3778 [is] the word 3056 of promise 1860, At 2596 this 5126 time 2540 will I come 2064 5695, and 2532 Sarah 4564 shall have 2071 5704 a son 5207.

9:10 And 1161 not 3756 only 3440 [this]; but 235 when Rebecca 4479 also 2532 had conceived 2845 by 1537 one 1520 2192 5723, [even] by our 2257 father 3962 Isaac 2464;

9:11 (For 1063 [the children] being 1080 0 not yet 3380 born 1080 5685, neither 3366 having done 4238 5660 any 5100 good 18 or 2228 evil 2556, that 2443 the purpose 4286 of God 2316 according 2596 to election 1589 might stand 3306 5725, not 3756 of 1537 works 2041, but 235 of 1537 him that calleth 2564 5723;)

9:12 3754 It was said 4483 5681 unto her 846, The elder 3187 shall serve 1398 5692 the younger 1640.(elder: or, greater)(elder: or, greater)(younger: or, lesser)

9:13 As 2531 it is written 1125 5769, Jacob 2384 have I loved 25 5656, but 1161 Esau 2269 have I hated 3404 5656.

9:14 What 5101 shall we say 2046 5692 then 3767? 3361 [Is there] unrighteousness 93 with 3844 God 2316? God forbid 3361 1096 5636.

9:15 For 1063 he saith 3004 5719 to Moses 3475, I will have mercy on 1653 5692 whom 3739 302 I will have mercy 1653 5725, and 2532 I will have compassion 3627 5692 on whom 3739 302 I will have compassion 3627 5725.

9:16 So 686 then 3767 [it is] not 3756 of him that willeth 2309 5723, nor 3761 of him that runneth 5143 5723, but 235 of God 2316 that sheweth mercy 1653 5723.

9:17 For 1063 the scripture 1124 saith 3004 5719 unto Pharaoh 5328, Even for 3754 1519 this 5124 same purpose 846 have I raised 1825 0 thee 4571 up 1825 5656, that 3704 I might shew 1731 5672 my 3450 power 1411 in 1722 thee 4671, and 2532 that 3704 my 3450 name 3686 might be declared 1229 5652 throughout 1722 all 3956 the earth 1093.

9:18 Therefore 686 3767 hath he mercy 1653 5719 on whom 3739 he will 2309 5719 [have mercy], and 1161 whom 3739 he will 2309 5719 he hardeneth 4645 5719.

9:19 Thou wilt say 2046 5692 then 3767 unto me 3427, Why 5101 doth he yet 2089 find fault 3201 5736? For 1063 who 5101 hath resisted 436 5758 his 846 will 1013?

9:20 Nay but 3304, O 5599 man 444, who 5101 art 1488 5748 thou 4771 that repliest against 470 5740 God 2316? 3361 Shall 2046 0 the thing formed 4110 say 2046 5692 to him that formed 4111 5660 [it], Why 5101 hast thou made 4160 5656 me 3165 thus 3779?(repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?)

9:21 2228 Hath 2192 5719 not 3756 the potter 2763 power 1849 over the clay 4081, of 1537 the same 846 lump 5445 to 3739 3303 make 4160 5658 one vessel 4632 unto 1519 honour 5092, and 1161 another 3739 unto 1519 dishonour 819?

9:22 [What] if 1487 1161 God 2316, willing 2309 5723 to shew 1731 5670 [his] wrath 3709, and 2532 to make 1107 0 his 846 power 1415 known 1107 5658, endured 5342 5656 with 1722 much 4183 longsuffering 3115 the vessels 4632 of wrath 3709 fitted 2675 5772 to 1519 destruction 684:(fitted: or, made up)

9:23 And 2532 that 2443 he might make known 1107 5661 the riches 4149 of his 846 glory 1391 on 1909 the vessels 4632 of mercy 1656, which 3739 he had afore prepared 4282 5656 unto 1519 glory 1391,

9:24 3739 Even 2532 us 2248, whom 3739 he hath called 2564 5656, not 3756 of 1537 the Jews 2453 only 3440, but 235 also 2532 of 1537 the Gentiles 1484?

9:25 As he saith 3004 5719 also 2532 in 1722 Osee 5617, I will call 2564 5692 them my 3450 people 2992, which were not 3756 my 3450 people 2992; and 2532 her beloved 25 5772, which was 25 0 not 3756 beloved 25 5772.

9:26 And 2532 it shall come to pass 2071 5704, [that] in 1722 the place 5117 where 3757 5625 3739 it was said 4483 5681 unto them 846, Ye 5210 [are] not 3756 my 3450 people 2992; there 1563 shall they be called 2564 5701 the children 5207 of the living 2198 5723 God 2316.

9:27 Esaias 2268 also 1161 crieth 2896 5719 concerning 5228 Israel 2474, Though 1437 the number 706 of the children 5207 of Israel 2474 be 5600 5753 as 5613 the sand 285 of the sea 2281, a remnant 2640 shall be saved 4982 5701:

9:28 For 1063 he will finish 4931 5723 the work 3056, and 2532 cut [it] short 4932 5723 in 1722 righteousness 1343: because 3754 a short 4932 5772 work 3056 will 4160 0 the Lord 2962 make 4160 5692 upon 1909 the earth 1093.(the work: or, the account)

9:29 And 2532 as 2531 Esaias 2268 said before 4280 5758, Except 1508 the Lord 2962 of Sabaoth 4519 had left 1459 5627 us 2254 a seed 4690, we had been 302 1096 5675 as 5613 Sodoma 4670, and 2532 been made like 302 3666 5681 unto 5613 Gomorrha 1116.

9:30 What 5101 shall we say 2046 5692 then 3767? That 3754 the Gentiles 1484, which 3588 followed 1377 5723 not 3361 after righteousness 1343, have attained 2638 5627 to righteousness 1343, even 1161 the righteousness 1343 which 3588 is of 1537 faith 4102.

9:31 But 1161 Israel 2474, which followed 1377 5723 after the law 3551 of righteousness 1343, hath 5348 0 not 3756 attained 5348 5656 to 1519 the law 3551 of righteousness 1343.

9:32 Wherefore 1302? Because 3754 [they sought it] not 3756 by 1537 faith 4102, but 235 as 5613 it were by 1537 the works 2041 of the law 3551. For 1063 they stumbled 4350 5656 at that stumblingstone 3037 4348;

9:33 As 2531 it is written 1125 5769, Behold 2400 5628, I lay 5087 5719 in 1722 Sion 4622 a stumblingstone 3037 4348 and 2532 rock 4073 of offence 4625: and 2532 whosoever 3956 believeth 4100 5723 on 1909 him 846 shall 2617 0 not 3756 be ashamed 2617 5701.(ashamed: or confounded)
