| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Who 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; |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8That 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. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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;) |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15For 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. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For 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. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Nay 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? |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26And 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. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29And 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. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. |
