ylt - Romans:9:1-29

ylt@Romans:9:1 @Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,

ylt@Romans:9:2 @that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart --

ylt@Romans:9:3 @for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,

ylt@Romans:9:4 @who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,

ylt@Romans:9:5 @whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

ylt@Romans:9:6 @And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;

ylt@Romans:9:7 @nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but -- 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'

ylt@Romans:9:8 @that is, the children of the flesh -- these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;

ylt@Romans:9:9 @for the word of promise [is] this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'

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

ylt@Romans:9:11 @(for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her --

ylt@Romans:9:12 @'The greater shall serve the less;'

ylt@Romans:9:13 @according as it hath been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'

ylt@Romans:9:14 @What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!

ylt@Romans:9:15 @for to Moses He saith, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'

ylt@Romans:9:16 @so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

ylt@Romans:9:17 @for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- 'For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'

ylt@Romans:9:18 @so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.

ylt@Romans:9:19 @Thou wilt say, then, to me, 'Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'

ylt@Romans:9:20 @nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?

ylt@Romans:9:21 @hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?

ylt@Romans:9:22 @And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

ylt@Romans:9:23 @and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us --

ylt@Romans:9:24 @not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,

ylt@Romans:9:25 @as also in Hosea He saith, 'I will call what [is] not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved,

ylt@Romans:9:26 @and it shall be -- in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'

ylt@Romans:9:27 @And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;

ylt@Romans:9:28 @for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.

ylt@Romans:9:29 @and according as Isaiah saith before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'
