Romans 9:22-33 ▼

22 What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?

23 And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?

24 Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,

25 As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.

26 And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.

27 Also Esaias cryeth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saued.

28 For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.

29 And as Esaias sayde before, Except the Lord of hostes had left vs a seede, we had bene made as Sodom, and had bene like to Gomorrha.

30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which folowed not righteousnes, haue attained vnto righteousnes, euen the righteousnes which is of faith.

31 But Israel which followed the Lawe of righteousnes, could not arteine vnto the Law of righteousnes.

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the workes of the Lawe: for they haue stumbled at the stumbling stone,

33 As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.
