| [1]I sayG3004[G5719] the truthG225 inG1722 ChristG5547, I lieG5574[G5736] notG3756, myG3450 conscienceG4893 also bearingG4828 meG3427 witnessG4828[G5723] inG1722 the HolyG40 GhostG4151, |
[1]I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, |
| [2]ThatG3754 IG3427 haveG2076[G5748] greatG3173 heavinessG3077 andG2532 continualG88 sorrow inG3601 myG3450 heartG2588. |
[2]That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in mine heart. |
| [3]ForG1063 IG1473 could wishG2172[G5711] that myselfG846 wereG1511[G5750] accursedG331 fromG575 ChristG5547 forG5228 myG3450 brethrenG80, myG3450 kinsmenG4773 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561: |
[3]For I would wish myself to be separate from Christ, for my brethren that are my kinsmen according to the flesh, |
| [4]WhoG3748 areG1526[G5748] IsraelitesG2475; to whomG3739 pertaineth the adoptionG5206, andG2532 the gloryG1391, andG2532 the covenantsG1242, andG2532 the giving of the lawG3548, andG2532 the serviceG2999 of God, andG2532 the promisesG1860; |
[4]Which are the Israelites, to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises. |
| [5]WhoseG3739 are the fathersG3962, andG2532 ofG1537 whomG3739 as concerningG2596 the fleshG4561 ChristG5547 came, whoG5607[G5752] is overG1909 allG3956, GodG2316 blessedG2128 forG1519 everG165. AmenG281. |
[5]Of whom are the fathers, and of whom concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God over all blessed forever, Amen. |
| [6]NotG3756 asG3634 thoughG1161[G3754] the wordG3056 of GodG2316 hath taken none effectG1601[G5758]. ForG1063 they are notG3756 allG3956[G1537] IsraelG2474, whichG3588[G3778] are of IsraelG2474: |
[6]Notwithstanding it cannot be that the word of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel: |
| [7]NeitherG3761, becauseG3754 they areG1526[G5748] the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, are they allG3956 childrenG5043: butG235, InG1722 IsaacG2464 shallG2564 thyG4671 seedG4690 be calledG2564.[G5701] |
[7]Neither are they all children, because they are the seed of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called: |
| [8]That isG5123[G5748], They which are the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561, theseG5023 are notG3756 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316: butG235 the childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are countedG3049[G5736] forG1519 the seedG4690. |
[8]That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. |
| [9]ForG1063 thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860, AtG2596 thisG5126 timeG2540 will I comeG2064[G5695], andG2532 SaraG4564 shall haveG2071[G5704] a sonG5207. |
[9]For this is a word of promise, In this same time will I come, and Sara shall have a son. |
| [10]AndG1161 notG3756 onlyG3440 this; butG235 when RebeccaG4479 alsoG2532 had conceivedG2845 byG1537 oneG1520[G2192][G5723], even by ourG2257 fatherG3962 IsaacG2464; |
[10]Neither he only felt this, but also Rebecca when she had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac. |
| [11](ForG1063 the children beingG1080 not yetG3380 bornG1080[G5685], neitherG3366 having doneG4238[G5660] anyG5100 goodG18 orG2228 evilG2556, thatG2443 the purposeG4286 of GodG2316 accordingG2596 to electionG1589 might standG3306[G5725], notG3756 ofG1537 worksG2041, butG235 ofG1537 him that callethG2564;[G5723]) |
[11]For ere the children were born, and when they had neither done good, nor evil (that the purpose of God might remain according to election not by works, but by him that calleth) |
| [12][G3754]It was saidG4483[G5681] unto herG846, The elderG3187 shall serveG1398[G5692] the youngerG1640. |
[12]It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. |
| [13]AsG2531 it is writtenG1125[G5769], JacobG2384 have I lovedG25[G5656], butG1161 EsauG2269 have I hatedG3404.[G5656] |
[13]As it is written, I have loved Jacob, and have hated Esau. |
| [14]WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046[G5692] thenG3767?[G3361] Is there unrighteousnessG93 withG3844 GodG2316? God forbidG3361[G1096].[G5636] |
[14]What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. |
| [15]ForG1063 he saithG3004[G5719] to MosesG3475, I will have mercy onG1653[G5692] whomG3739[G302] I will have mercyG1653[G5725], andG2532 I will have compassionG3627[G5692] on whomG3739[G302] I will have compassionG3627.[G5725] |
[15]For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on him, to whom I will show mercy: and will have compassion on him, on whom I will have compassion. |
| [16]SoG686 thenG3767 it is notG3756 of him that willethG2309[G5723], norG3761 of him that runnethG5143[G5723], butG235 of GodG2316 that sheweth mercyG1653.[G5723] |
[16]So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that showeth mercy. |
| [17]ForG1063 the scriptureG1124 saithG3004[G5719] unto PharaohG5328, Even forG3754[G1519] thisG5124 same purposeG846 have I raisedG1825 theeG4571 upG1825[G5656], thatG3704 I might shewG1731[G5672] myG3450 powerG1411 inG1722 theeG4671, andG2532 thatG3704 myG3450 nameG3686 might be declaredG1229[G5652] throughoutG1722 allG3956 the earthG1093. |
[17]For the Scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this same purpose have I stirred thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout all the earth. |
| [18]ThereforeG686[G3767] hath he mercyG1653[G5719] on whomG3739 he willG2309[G5719] have mercy, andG1161 whomG3739 he willG2309[G5719] he hardenethG4645.[G5719] |
[18]Therefore he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth. |
| [19]Thou wilt sayG2046[G5692] thenG3767 unto meG3427, WhyG5101 doth he yetG2089 find faultG3201[G5736]? ForG1063 whoG5101 hath resistedG436[G5758] hisG846 willG1013? |
[19]Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet complain? for who hath resisted his will? |
| [20]Nay butG3304, OG5599 manG444, whoG5101 artG1488[G5748] thouG4771 that repliest againstG470[G5740] GodG2316?[G3361] ShallG2046 the thing formedG4110 sayG2046[G5692] to him that formedG4111[G5660] it, WhyG5101 hast thou madeG4160[G5656] meG3165 thusG3779? |
[20]But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
| [21][G2228]HathG2192[G5719] notG3756 the potterG2763 powerG1849 over the clayG4081, ofG1537 the sameG846 lumpG5445 toG3739[G3303] makeG4160[G5658] one vesselG4632 untoG1519 honourG5092, andG1161 anotherG3739 untoG1519 dishonourG819? |
[21]Hath not the potter power of the clay to make of the same lump one vessel to honor, and another unto dishonor? |
| [22]What ifG1487[G1161] GodG2316, willingG2309[G5723] to shewG1731[G5670] his wrathG3709, andG2532 to makeG1107 hisG846 powerG1415 knownG1107[G5658], enduredG5342[G5656] withG1722 muchG4183 longsufferingG3115 the vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 fittedG2675[G5772] toG1519 destructionG684: |
[22]What and if God would, to show his wrath, and to make his power known, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction? |
| [23]AndG2532 thatG2443 he might make knownG1107[G5661] the richesG4149 of hisG846 gloryG1391 onG1909 the vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 he had afore preparedG4282[G5656] untoG1519 gloryG1391, |
[23]And that he might declare the riches of his glory upon the vessels of mercy, which he hath prepared unto glory? |
| [24][G3739]EvenG2532 usG2248, whomG3739 he hath calledG2564[G5656], notG3756 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484? |
[24]Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles, |
| [25]As he saithG3004[G5719] alsoG2532 inG1722 OseeG5617, I will callG2564[G5692] them myG3450 peopleG2992, which were notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; andG2532 her belovedG25[G5772], which wasG25 notG3756 belovedG25.[G5772] |
[25]As he saith also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloved, which was not beloved. |
| [26]AndG2532 it shall come to passG2071[G5704], that inG1722 the placeG5117 whereG3757[G5625][G3739] it was saidG4483[G5681] unto themG846, YeG5210 are notG3756 myG3450 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564[G5701] the childrenG5207 of the livingG2198[G5723] GodG2316. |
[26]And it shall be in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shall be called, The children of the living God. |
| [27]EsaiasG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896[G5719] concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474 beG5600[G5753] asG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, a remnantG2640 shall be savedG4982:[G5701] |
[27]Also Esaias crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saved. |
| [28]ForG1063 he will finishG4931[G5723] the workG3056, andG2532 cut it shortG4932[G5723] inG1722 righteousnessG1343: becauseG3754 a shortG4932[G5772] workG3056 willG4160 the LordG2962 makeG4160[G5692] uponG1909 the earthG1093. |
[28]For he will make his account, and gather it into a short sum with righteousness: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth. |
| [29]AndG2532 asG2531 EsaiasG2268 said beforeG4280[G5758], ExceptG1508 the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519 had leftG1459[G5627] usG2254 a seedG4690, we had beenG302[G1096][G5675] asG5613 SodomaG4670, andG2532 been made likeG302[G3666][G5681] untoG5613 GomorrhaG1116. |
[29]And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been made as Sodom, and had been like to Gomorrah. |
| [30]WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046[G5692] thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whichG3588 followedG1377[G5723] notG3361 after righteousnessG1343, have attainedG2638[G5627] to righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 is ofG1537 faithG4102. |
[30]What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which followed not righteousness, have attained unto righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. |
| [31]ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followedG1377[G5723] after the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348[G5656] toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343. |
[31]But Israel which followed the Law of righteousness, could not attain unto the Law of righteousness. |
| [32]WhereforeG1302? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 asG5613 it were byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350[G5656] G3037at that stumblingstoneG4348 |
[32]Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the Law: for they have stumbled at the stumbling stone, |
| [33]AsG2531 it is writtenG1125[G5769], BeholdG2400[G5628], I layG5087[G5719] inG1722 SionG4622 a stumblingstoneG3037[G4348] andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100[G5723] onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617.[G5701] |
[33]As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone, and a rock to make men fall: and every one that believeth in him, shall not be ashamed. |
