Romans:9:22-30
Seeker Overlay ON
*
What if God ,
willing to shew his wrath ,
and to make his power known ,
endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction :
*
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy ,
which he had afore prepared unto glory ,
*
Even us ,
whom he hath called ,
not of the Jews only ,
but also of the Gentiles ?
*
As he saith also in Osee ,
I will call them my people ,
which were not my people ;
and her beloved ,
which was not beloved .
*
And it shall come to pass ,
that in the place where it was said unto them ,
Ye are not my people ;
there shall they be called the children of the living God .
*
Esaias also crieth concerning Israel ,
Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea ,
a remnant shall be saved :
*
For he will finish the work ,
and cut it short in righteousness :
because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth .
*
And as Esaias said before ,
Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed ,
we had been as Sodoma ,
and been made like unto Gomorrha .
*
What shall we say then ?
That the Gentiles ,
which followed not after righteousness ,
have attained to righteousness ,
even the righteousness which is of faith .
