lont - Romans:9:1-29

lont@Romans:9:1 @ I speak the truth in Christ, I do not speak falsely, my conscience bearing me witness, in the Holy Spirit,

lont@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great grief and unceasing anguish, in my heart,

lont@Romans:9:3 @ for my brethren, -my kinsmen, according to the flesh; (for I also was, myself, wishing to be accursed from Christ:)

lont@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites; whose are the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the rites of service, and the promises;

lont@Romans:9:5 @ whose are the fathers; and from whom the Messiah descended, according to the flesh; who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

lont@Romans:9:6 @ Now, it is not to be supposed that the promise of God has failed; for all the descendants of Israel are not Israel.

lont@Romans:9:7 @ «Neither are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but» 'In Isaac shall your seed be called.'

lont@Romans:9:8 @ That is, the children of the flesh are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for seed.

lont@Romans:9:9 @ «For the word of promise was this,» 'According to this time, I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.'

lont@Romans:9:10 @ And not only this, but Rebecca, also, having conceived twins, by one, even Isaac our father;

lont@Romans:9:11 @ (they, indeed, not being yet born; neither having done any good or evil; that the purpose of God might stand, by an election; not on account of works, but of him who calls:)

lont@Romans:9:12 @ «it was said to her,'The elder shall serve the younger';»

lont@Romans:9:13 @ «as it is written,» 'Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have slighted.'

lont@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we, then, say? Is there not injustice with God?

lont@Romans:9:15 @ «By no means. For he says to Moses,» 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy; and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.'

lont@Romans:9:16 @ So, then, it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs; but of God, who shows mercy.

lont@Romans:9:17 @ «Besides, the scripture says to Pharaoh,» 'Even for this same purpose I have roused you up; that I might show, in you, my power; and that my name might be published through all the earth.'

lont@Romans:9:18 @ Well, then, he has mercy on whom he will; and whom he will, he hardens.

lont@Romans:9:19 @ But you will say to me, Why does he still find fault, for who has resisted his will?

lont@Romans:9:20 @ Nay, but, O man, who are you, who reply against God? Shall the thing formed, say to him who formed it, Why have you made me thus?

lont@Romans:9:21 @ Has not the potter a just power over the clay, to make of the same lump one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?

lont@Romans:9:22 @ Yet God, willing to show his wrath, and make know his power, did bear, with much long-suffering, the vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction.

lont@Romans:9:23 @ And that he might make known the riches of his glory, on the vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory:

lont@Romans:9:24 @ even us, whom he has called; not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.

lont@Romans:9:25 @ «Even as he says, by Hosea,» 'They shall be called my people, who were not my people; and she beloved, who was not beloved.'

lont@Romans:9:26 @ «And it shall come to pass, in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people; there they shall be called, Sons of the living God.»

lont@Romans:9:27 @ «Besides, Isaiah cries, concerning Israel,» 'Through the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant shall be saved.'

lont@Romans:9:28 @ «For he was about to complete and hasten his work in righteousness; for a short work will the Lord make upon this land.»

lont@Romans:9:29 @ «And, as Isaiah has said before,» 'Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we should have become as Sodom, and been made like to Gomorrah.'
