strkjv Romans:9-10 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I say (
5719 )
the truth in Christ ,
I lie (
5736 )
not ,
my conscience also bearing me witness (
5723 )
in the Holy Ghost ,
*
That I have (
5748 )
great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart .
*
For I could wish (
5711 )
that myself were (
5750 )
accursed from Christ for my brethren ,
my kinsmen according to the flesh :
*
Who are (
5748 )
Israelites ;
to whom pertaineth the adoption ,
and the glory ,
and the covenants ,
and the giving of the law ,
and the service of God ,
and the promises ;
*
Whose are the fathers ,
and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came ,
who (
5752 )
is over all ,
God blessed for ever .
Amen .
*
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect (
5758 ).
For they are not all Israel ,
which are of Israel :
*
Neither ,
because they are (
5748 )
the seed of Abraham ,
are they all children :
but ,
In Isaac shall thy seed be called (
5701 ).
*
That is (
5748 ),
They which are the children of the flesh ,
these are not the children of God :
but the children of the promise are counted (
5736 )
for the seed .
*
For this is the word of promise ,
At this time will I come (
5695 ),
and Sara shall have (
5704 )
a son .
*
And not only this ;
but when Rebecca also had conceived by one (
5723 ),
even by our father Isaac ;
* (
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 ;
*
As it is written (
5769 ),
Behold (
5628 ),
I lay (
5719 )
in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence :
and whosoever believeth (
5723 )
on him shall not be ashamed (
5701 ).
*
Brethren ,
my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is (
5748 ),
that they might be saved .
*
For I bear them record (
5719 )
that they have (
5719 )
a zeal of God ,
but not according to knowledge .
*
For they being ignorant (
5723 )
of Gods righteousness ,
and going about (
5723 )
to establish (
5658 )
their own righteousness ,
have not submitted themselves (
5648 )
unto the righteousness of God .
*
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth (
5723 ).
*
For Moses describeth (
5719 )
the righteousness which is of the law ,
That the man which doeth (
5660 )
those things shall live (
5695 )
by them .
*
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh (
5719 )
on this wise ,
Say (
5632 )
not in thine heart ,
Who shall ascend (
5695 )
into heaven ? (
that is (
5748 ),
to bring Christ down (
5629 )
from above :)
*
Or ,
Who shall descend (
5695 )
into the deep ? (
that is (
5748 ),
to bring up Christ again (
5629 )
from the dead .)
*
But what saith it (
5719 )?
The word is (
5748 )
nigh thee ,
even in thy mouth ,
and in thy heart :
that is (
5748 ),
the word of faith ,
which we preach (
5719 );
*
That if thou shalt confess (
5661 )
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus ,
and shalt believe (
5661 )
in thine heart that God hath raised (
5656 )
him from the dead ,
thou shalt be saved (
5701 ).
*
For with the heart man believeth (
5743 )
unto righteousness ;
and with the mouth confession is made (
5743 )
unto salvation .
*
For the scripture saith (
5719 ),
Whosoever believeth (
5723 )
on him shall not be ashamed (
5701 ).
*
For there is (
5748 )
no difference between the Jew and the Greek :
for the same Lord over all is rich (
5723 )
unto all that call upon (
5734 )
him .
*
For whosoever shall call upon (
5672 )
the name of the Lord shall be saved (
5701 ).
*
How then shall they call on (
5698 )
him in whom they have not believed (
5656 )?
and how shall they believe in (
5692 )
him of whom they have not heard (
5656 )?
and how shall they hear (
5692 )
without a preacher (
5723 )?
*
And how shall they preach (
5692 ),
except they be sent (
5652 )?
as it is written (
5769 ),
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel (
5734 )
of peace ,
and bring glad tidings (
5734 )
of good things !
*
But they have not all obeyed (
5656 )
the gospel .
For Esaias saith (
5719 ),
Lord ,
who hath believed (
5656 )
our report ?
*
So then faith cometh by hearing ,
and hearing by the word of God .
*
But I say (
5719 ),
Have they not heard (
5656 )?
Yes verily ,
their sound went (
5627 )
into all the earth ,
and their words unto the ends of the world .
*
But I say (
5719 ),
Did not Israel know (
5627 )?
First Moses saith (
5719 ),
I will provoke you to jealousy (
5692 )
by them that are no people ,
and by a foolish nation I will anger (
5692 )
you .
*
But Esaias is very bold (
5719 ),
and saith (
5719 ),
I was found (
5681 )
of them that sought (
5723 )
me not ;
I was made (
5633 )
manifest unto them that asked not after (
5723 )
me .
*
But to Israel he saith (
5719 ),
All day long I have stretched forth (
5656 )
my hands unto a disobedient (
5723 )
and gainsaying (
5723 )
people .
*
I say (
5719 )
then ,
Hath God cast away (
5662 )
his people ?
God forbid (
5636 ).
For I also am (
5748 )
an Israelite ,
of the seed of Abraham ,
of the tribe of Benjamin .
