Romans 9:1-9 ▼

1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience bearing mee witnes in the holy Ghost,

2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorow in mine heart.

3 For I woulde wish my selfe to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsemen according to the flesh,

4 Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.

5 Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen.

6 Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:

7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:

8 That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promes, are counted for the seede.

9 For this is a worde of promes, In this same time wil I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
