Romans 9:22-33 ▼

22 Even so God willynge to shewe his wrath and to make his power knowen suffered with longe pacience the vessels of wrath ordeyned to damnacion

23 that he myght declare ye ryches of his glory on the vessels of mercye which he had prepayred vnto glorie:

24 that is to saye vs which he called not of the Iewes only but also of ye gentyls.

25 As he sayth in Osee: I will call them my people which were not my people: and her beloved which was not beloved.

26 And it shall come to passe in the place where it was sayd vnto them ye are not my people: that there shalbe called the chyldren of the lyvynge God.

27 But Esaias cryeth concernynge Israel though the nomber of the chyldren of Israel be as the sonde of the see yet shall a remnaut be saved.

28 He finyssheth the worde verely and maketh it short in ryghtwesses. For a short worde will god make on erth.

29 And as Esaias sayd before: Except the Lorde of sabaoth had left us seede we had bene made as Zodoma and had bene lykened to Gomorra.

30 What shall we saye then? We saye that the gentyls which followed not rightewesnes have overtaken rightewesnes: I meane the rightewesnes which cometh of fayth.

31 But Israel which folowed the lawe of rightewesnes coulde not attayne vnto ye lawe of rightewesnes.

32 And wherfore? Because they sought it not by fath: but as it were by the workes of the lawe. For they have stombled at the stomblynge stone.

33 As it is written: Beholde I put in Syon a stomblynge stone and a rocke which shall make men faule. And none yt beleve on him shalbe a shamed.
