updv - Romans:9:1-29

updv@Romans:9:1 @ I say the truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

updv@Romans:9:2 @ that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.

updv@Romans:9:3 @ For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brothers' sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

updv@Romans:9:4 @ who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;

updv@Romans:9:5 @ whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh. May God, who is over all, be blessed forever. Amen.

updv@Romans:9:6 @ But [it is] not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

updv@Romans:9:7 @ neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac will your seed be called.

updv@Romans:9:8 @ That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.

updv@Romans:9:9 @ For this is a word of promise, According to this season I will come, and Sarah will have a son.

updv@Romans:9:10 @ And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac--

updv@Romans:9:11 @ for [the children] not being yet born, neither having participated in anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stay,

updv@Romans:9:12 @ not of works, but of him who calls, it was said to her, The elder will serve as a slave to the younger.

updv@Romans:9:13 @ According to as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.

updv@Romans:9:14 @ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

updv@Romans:9:15 @ For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.

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

updv@Romans:9:17 @ For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very purpose I raised you up, that I might show in you my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.

updv@Romans:9:18 @ So then he has mercy on whom he wants, and he hardens whom he wants.

updv@Romans:9:19 @ You will say then to me, Why then does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?

updv@Romans:9:20 @ On the contrary, O man, who are you that reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did you make me thus?

updv@Romans:9:21 @ Or has not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel to honor, and another to shame?

updv@Romans:9:22 @ What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

updv@Romans:9:23 @ and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared in advance to glory,

updv@Romans:9:24 @ [even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?

updv@Romans:9:25 @ As he says also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.

updv@Romans:9:26 @ And it will be, [that] in the place where it was said to them, You(note:){+}(:note) are not my people, There they will be called sons of the living God.

updv@Romans:9:27 @ And Isaiah cries concerning Israel, If the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that will be saved:

updv@Romans:9:28 @ for the Lord will execute [his] word on the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.

updv@Romans:9:29 @ And, as Isaiah has said before, Except Yahweh of hosts had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like Gomorrah.
