Romans 9:1-9 ▼

1 I saye the trueth in Christ and lye not in that wherof my conscience beareth me witnes in the holy gost

2 that I have gret hevynes and continuall sorowe in my hert.

3 For I have wysshed my selfe to be cursed from Christ for my brethren and my kynsmen as pertayninge to the flesshe

4 which are the Israelites. To whom pertayneth the adopcion and the glorie and the covenauntes and the law that was geven and the service of God and the promyses:

5 whose also are the fathers and they of whome (as concernynge the flesshe) Christ came which is God over all thinges blessed for ever Amen.

6 I speake not these thinges as though the wordes of god had take none effecte. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel:

7 nether are they all chyldren strayght waye because they are the seed of Abraham. But in Isaac shall thy seede be called:

8 that is to saye they which are the chyldren of the flesshe are not the chyldren of god. But the chyldren of promes are counted the seede.

9 For this is a worde of promes aboute this tyme will I come and Sara shall have a sonne.
