CHAP. IX. / 1 Paul is sory for the Iewes. 7 All the seed of Abraham were not the children of the promise. 18 God hath mercy vpon whom hee will. 21 The potter may doe with his clay what he list. 25 The

1I say the trueth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing mee witnesse in the holy Ghost,Select Romans 9:1

2That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorrow in my heart.Select Romans 9:2

3For I could wish that my selfe were accursed from Christ, for my brethren my kinsemen according to the flesh:Select Romans 9:3

4Who are Israelites: to whom perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the couenants, and the giuing of the Law, and the seruice of God, and the promises:Select Romans 9:4

5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is ouer all, God blessed foreuer, Amen.Select Romans 9:5

6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel which are of Israel:Select Romans 9:6

7Neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called.Select Romans 9:7

8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.Select Romans 9:8

9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.Select Romans 9:9

10And not onely this, but when Rebecca also had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac,Select Romans 9:10

11(For the children being not yet borne, neither hauing done any good or euil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of workes but of him that calleth.)Select Romans 9:11

12It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.Select Romans 9:12

13As it is written, Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated.Select Romans 9:13

14What shall we say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.Select Romans 9:14

15For hee saith to Moses, I will haue mercy on whom I wil haue mercie, and I will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.Select Romans 9:15

16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.Select Romans 9:16

17For the Scripture saith vnto Pharaoh, Euen for this same purpose haue I raised thee vp, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my Name might bee declared throughout all the earth.Select Romans 9:17

18Therefore hath hee mercie on whom hee will haue mercy, and whom he will, he hardeneth.Select Romans 9:18

19Thou wilt say then vnto mee; Why doeth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?Select Romans 9:19

20Nay but O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?Select Romans 9:20

21Hath not the potter power ouer the clay, of the same lumpe, to make one vessell vnto honour, and another vnto dishonour?Select Romans 9:21

22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, & to make his power knowen, indured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:Select Romans 9:22

23And that he might make knowen the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which hee had afore prepared vnto glorie?Select Romans 9:23

24Euen vs whom hee hath called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles.Select Romans 9:24

25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people: and her, beloued, which was not beloued.Select Romans 9:25

26And it shall come to passe, that in the place where it was saide vnto them, Ye are not my people, there shall they bee called the children of the liuing God.Select Romans 9:26

27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shalbe saued.Select Romans 9:27

28For he will finish the worke, and cut it short in righteousnesse: because a short worke will the Lord make vpon the earth.Select Romans 9:28

29And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabboth had left vs a seed, we had bene as Sodoma, and bene made like vnto Gomorrha.Select Romans 9:29

30What shall wee say then? That the Gentiles which followed not after righteousnesse, haue attained to righteousnesse, euen the righteousnesse which is of faith:Select Romans 9:30

31But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousnesse, hath not attained to the Law of righteousnes.Select Romans 9:31

32Wherefore? because they sought it, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the Law: for they stumbled at that stumbling stone,Select Romans 9:32

33As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and rocke of offence: and whosoeuer beleeueth on him, shall not be ashamed.Select Romans 9:33
