Romans:9:11-32
Seeker Overlay ON
* (
For the children being not yet born (
5685 ),
neither having done (
5660 )
any good or evil ,
that the purpose of God according to election might stand (
5725 ),
not of works ,
but of him that calleth (
5723 );)
*
It was said (
5681 )
unto her ,
The elder shall serve (
5692 )
the younger .
*
As it is written (
5769 ),
Jacob have I loved (
5656 ),
but Esau have I hated (
5656 ).
*
What shall we say (
5692 )
then ?
Is there unrighteousness with God ?
God forbid (
5636 ).
*
For he saith (
5719 )
to Moses ,
I will have mercy on (
5692 )
whom I will have mercy (
5725 ),
and I will have compassion (
5692 )
on whom I will have compassion (
5725 ).
*
So then it is not of him that willeth (
5723 ),
nor of him that runneth (
5723 ),
but of God that sheweth mercy (
5723 ).
*
For the scripture saith (
5719 )
unto Pharaoh ,
Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up (
5656 ),
that I might shew (
5672 )
my power in thee ,
and that my name might be declared (
5652 )
throughout all the earth .
*
Therefore hath he mercy (
5719 )
on whom he will (
5719 )
have mercy ,
and whom he will (
5719 )
he hardeneth (
5719 ).
*
Thou wilt say (
5692 )
then unto me ,
Why doth he yet find fault (
5736 )?
For who hath resisted (
5758 )
his will ?
*
Nay but ,
O man ,
who art (
5748 )
thou that repliest against (
5740 )
God ?
Shall the thing formed say (
5692 )
to him that formed (
5660 )
it ,
Why hast thou made (
5656 )
me thus ?
*
Hath (
5719 )
not the potter power over the clay ,
of the same lump to make (
5658 )
one vessel unto honour ,
and another unto dishonour ?
*
What if God ,
willing (
5723 )
to shew (
5670 )
his wrath ,
and to make his power known (
5658 ),
endured (
5656 )
with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted (
5772 )
to destruction :
*
And that he might make known (
5661 )
the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy ,
which he had afore prepared (
5656 )
unto glory ,
*
Even us ,
whom he hath called (
5656 ),
not of the Jews only ,
but also of the Gentiles ?
*
As he saith (
5719 )
also in Osee ,
I will call (
5692 )
them my people ,
which were not my people ;
and her beloved (
5772 ),
which was not beloved (
5772 ).
*
And it shall come to pass (
5704 ),
that in the place where (
5625 )
it was said (
5681 )
unto them ,
Ye are not my people ;
there shall they be called (
5701 )
the children of the living (
5723 )
God .
*
Esaias also crieth (
5719 )
concerning Israel ,
Though the number of the children of Israel be (
5753 )
as the sand of the sea ,
a remnant shall be saved (
5701 ):
*
For he will finish (
5723 )
the work ,
and cut it short (
5723 )
in righteousness :
because a short (
5772 )
work will the Lord make (
5692 )
upon the earth .
*
And as Esaias said before (
5758 ),
Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left (
5627 )
us a seed ,
we had been (
5675 )
as Sodoma ,
and been made like (
5681 )
unto Gomorrha .
*
What shall we say (
5692 )
then ?
That the Gentiles ,
which followed (
5723 )
not after righteousness ,
have attained (
5627 )
to righteousness ,
even the righteousness which is of faith .
*
But Israel ,
which followed (
5723 )
after the law of righteousness ,
hath not attained (
5656 )
to the law of righteousness .
*
Wherefore ?
Because they sought it not by faith ,
but as it were by the works of the law .
For they stumbled (
5656 )
at that stumblingstone ;
