1: [The] truthG0225 I speakG3004 inG1722 Christ.G5547 NotG3756 I am lying,G5574 bearing witness withG4828 meG1473 theG3588 conscienceG4893 of meG1473 in [the]G1722 SpiritG4151 Holy,G0040
2: thatG3754 griefG3077 to meG1473 isG1510 great,G3173 andG2532 unceasingG0088 sorrowG3601 in theG3588 heartG2588 of me.G1473
3: Could wishG2172 forG1063 a curseG0331 to beG1510 myselfG0846 I,G1473 separated fromG0575 -G3588 ChristG5547 forG5228 theG3588 brothersG0080 of me,G1473 -G3588 kinsmenG4773 of me,G1473 according toG2596 [the] flesh;G4561
4: whoG3748 areG1510 Israelites,G2475 whose [is]G3739 theG3588 divine adoption as sons,G5206 andG2532 theG3588 glory,G1391 andG2532 theG3588 covenants,G1242 andG2532 theG3588 lawgiving,G3548 andG2532 theG3588 service,G2999 andG2532 theG3588 promises;G1860
5: whose [are]G3739 theG3588 patriarchs;G3962 andG2532 fromG1537 whom [is]G3739 -G3588 ChristG5547 -G3588 according toG2596 the flesh,G4561 -G3588 beingG1510 overG1909 allG3956 God,G2316 blessedG2128 toG1519 theG3588 ages.G0165 Amen.G0281
6: [It is] notG3756 asG3634 however,G1161 thatG3754 has failedG1601 theG3588 wordG3056 -G3588 of God.G2316 NotG3756 forG1063 allG3956 who [are]G3588 ofG1537 Israel,G2474 [are] theseG3778 Israel.G2474
7: NorG3761 becauseG3754 they areG1510 seedG4690 of AbrahamG0011 [are] allG3956 children;G5043 rather,G0235 InG1722 IsaacG2464 will be namedG2564 to youG4771 offspringaG4690
8: ThatG3778 is,G1510 notG3756 theG3588 childrenG5043 of theG3588 flesh,G4561 these [are]G3778 childrenG5043 -G3588 of God;G2316 butG0235 theG3588 childrenG5043 of theG3588 promiseG1860 are regardedG3049 asG1519 offspring.G4690
9: Of [the] promiseG1860 for,G1063 theG3588 wordG3056 [is] this:G3778 AtG2596 theG3588 timeG2540 this,G3778 I will come,G2064 andG2532 there will beG1510 -G3588 to SarahG4564 a son.G5207
10: NotG3756 onlyG3440 then,G1161 butG0235 alsoG2532 Rebecca,G4479 byG1537 oneG1520 conception,G2845 havingG2192 IsaacG2464 theG3588 fatherG3962 of us,G1473
11: not yetG3380 forG1063 having been born,G1080 norG3366 having doneG4238 anythingG5100 goodG0018 orG2228 evil,G5337 so thatG2443 theG3588 according toG2596 electionG1589 purposeG4286 -G3588 of GodG2316 might stand,G3306
12: notG3756 ofG1537 works,G2041 butG0235 ofG1537 the [One]G3588 calling,G2564 it was saidG2046 to herG0846 -,G3754 TheG3588 olderG3173 will serveG1398 theG3588 younger.G1640
13: AsG2531 it has been writtenG1125 -:G3588 JacobG2384 I loved,G0025 -G3588 butG1161 EsauG2269 I hated.G3404
14: WhatG5101 thenG3767 shall we say?G2046 NotG3361 injusticeG0093 withG3844 -G3588 God [is there]?G2316 NeverG3361 may it be!G1096
15: ToG3588 MosesG3475 forG1063 He says:G3004 I will show mercy toG1653 whomG3739 -G0302 I may show mercy,G1653 andG2532 I will have compassion onG3627 whomG3739 -G0302 I may have compassion.G3627
16: SoG0686 then,G3767 [it is] notG3756 of theG3588 willing,G2309 norG3761 of theG3588 running,G5143 butG0235 -G3588 showing mercyG1653 of God.G2316
17: SaysG3004 forG1063 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 toG3588 PharaohG5328 -:G3754 ForG1519 this veryG0846 thereforeG3778 I have raised upG1825 you,G4771 so thatG3704 I might showG1731 inG1722 youG4771 theG3588 powerG1411 of Me,G1473 andG2532 thatG3704 should be declaredG1229 theG3588 nameG3686 of MeG1473 inG1722 allG3956 theG3588 earth.G1093
18: SoG0686 then,G3767 to whomG3739 He wants,G2309 He shows mercy;G1653 whomG3739 nowG1161 He wants,G2309 He hardens.G4645
19: You will sayG2046 to meG1473 then,G3767 WhyG5101 thenG3767 stillG2089 does He find fault?G3201 TheG3588 forG1063 purposeG1013 of Him,G0846 whoG5101 is resisting?G0436
20: OG5599 man,G0444 but rather,G3304 youG4771 whoG5101 areG1510 -G3588 answering againstG0470 -G3588 God?G2316 NotG3361 will sayG2046 theG3588 thing formedG4110 to the [One]G3588 having formed [it],G4111 WhyG5101 meG1473 have you madeG4160 like this?G3779
21: OrG2228 notG3756 hasG2192 authorityG1849 theG3588 potterG2763 over theG3588 clay,G4081 out ofG1537 theG3588 sameG0846 lumpG5445 to makeG4160 oneG3739 indeedG3303 untoG1519 honorG5092 vessel,G4632 oneG3739 howeverG1161 untoG1519 dishonor?G0819
22: What ifG1487 nowG1161 desiringG2309 -G3588 GodG2316 to showG1731 theG3588 wrathG3709 andG2532 to make knownG1107 theG3588 powerG1415 of Him,G0846 boreG5342 withG1722 muchG4183 patience,G3115 [the] vesselsG4632 of wrath,G3709 having been fittedG2675 forG1519 destruction,G0684
23: alsoG2532 thatG2443 He might make knownG1107 theG3588 richesG4149 of theG3588 gloryG1391 of HimG0846 uponG1909 [the] vesselsG4632 of mercy,G1656 whichG3739 He prepared beforehandG4282 forG1519 glory,G1391
24: whomG3739 evenG2532 He has called,G2564 usG1473 notG3756 onlyG3440 out fromG1537 [the] Jews,G2453 butG0235 alsoG2532 out fromG1537 [the] Gentiles?G1484
25: AsG5613 alsoG2532 inG1722 -G3588 HoseaG5617 He says:G3004 I will callG2564 that which [is]G3588 notG3756 peopleG2992 of Me,G1473 peopleG2992 of Me;G1473 andG2532 herG3588 notG3756 having been loved,G0025 having been loved,G0025
26: and,G2532 It will happen thatG1510 inG1722 theG3588 placeG5117 whereG3739 it was saidG2046 to them,G0846 NotG3756 peopleG2992 My [are]G1473 You,G4771 thereG1563 they will be calledG2564 sonsG5207 of GodG2316 [the] living.G2198
27: IsaiahG2268 alsoG1161 cries outG2896 concerningG5228 -G3588 Israel:G2474 ThoughG1437 shall beG1510 theG3588 numberG0706 of theG3588 sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 asG5613 theG3588 sandG0285 of theG3588 sea,G2281 [only] theG3588 remnantG5275 will be saved.G4982
28: [The] sentenceG3056 forG1063 concludingG4931 andG2532 bringing swiftly,G4932 will perform [the]G4160 LordG2962 uponG1909 theG3588 earth.G1093
29: And,G2532 asG2531 foretoldG4302 Isaiah:G2268 IfG1487 notG3361 [the] LordG2962 of HostsG4519 had leftG1459 usG1473 descendants,G4690 likeG5613 SodomG4670 -G0302 we would have become,G1096 andG2532 likeG5613 GomorrahG1116 -G0302 we would have been made.G3666
30: WhatG5101 thenG3767 will we say?G2046 ThatG3754 GentilesG1484 -G3588 notG3361 pursuingG1377 righteousness,G1343 have attainedG2638 righteousness,G1343 righteousnessG1343 nowG1161 that [is]G3588 byG1537 faith;G4102
31: IsraelG2474 however,G1161 pursuingG1377 a lawG3551 of righteousness,G1343 toG1519 [that] lawG3551 notG3756 did attain.G5348
32: Because ofG1223 why?G5101 Because [it was]G3754 notG3756 byG1537 faith,G4102 butG0235 asG5613 byG1537 works.G2041 They stumbledG4350 over theG3588 stoneG3037 -G3588 of stumbling,G4348
33: asG2531 it has been written:G1125 BeholdG2400 I layG5087 inG1722 ZionG4622 a stoneG3037 of stumbling,G4348 andG2532 a rockG4073 of offense;G4625 andG2532 the [one]G3588 believingG4100 onG1909 Him,G0846 neverG3756 will be put to shame.G2617
