1 # I say <3004> (5719) the truth <225> in <1722> Christ <5547>, I lie <5574> (5736) not <3756>, my <3450> conscience <4893> also bearing <4828> <0> me <3427> witness <4828> (5723) in <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>,
2 That <3754> I <3427> have <2076> (5748) great <3173> heaviness <3077> and <2532> continual <88> sorrow in <3601> my <3450> heart <2588>.
3 For <1063> I <1473> could wish <2172> (5711) that myself <846> were <1511> (5750) accursed <331> from <575> Christ <5547> for <5228> my <3450> brethren <80>, my <3450> kinsmen <4773> according <2596> to the flesh <4561>:
4 Who <3748> are <1526> (5748) Israelites <2475>; to whom <3739> pertaineth the adoption <5206> , and <2532> the glory <1391>, and <2532> the covenants <1242>, and <2532> the giving of the law <3548>, and <2532> the service <2999> of God, and <2532> the promises <1860>;
5 Whose <3739> are the fathers <3962>, and <2532> of <1537> whom <3739> as concerning <2596> the flesh <4561> Christ <5547> came, who <5607> (5752) is over <1909> all <3956>, God <2316> blessed <2128> for <1519> ever <165>. Amen <281>.
 - FATHERHOOD
6 # Not <3756> as <3634> though <1161> <3754> the word <3056> of God <2316> hath taken none effect <1601> (5758). For <1063> they are not <3756> all <3956> <1537> Israel <2474>, which <3588> <3778> are of Israel <2474>:
7 Neither <3761>, because <3754> they are <1526> (5748) the seed <4690> of Abraham <11>, are they all <3956> children <5043>: but <235>, In <1722> Isaac <2464> shall <2564> <0> thy <4671> seed <4690> be called <2564> (5701).
8 That is <5123> (5748), They which are the children <5043> of the flesh <4561>, these <5023> are not <3756> the children <5043> of God <2316>: but <235> the children <5043> of the promise <1860> are counted <3049> (5736) for <1519> the seed <4690>.
9 For <1063> this <3778> is the word <3056> of promise <1860>, At <2596> this <5126> time <2540> will I come <2064> (5695), and <2532> Sara <4564> shall have <2071> (5704) a son <5207>.
 - KAIROS - TIME
10 And <1161> not <3756> only <3440> this; but <235> when Rebecca <4479> also <2532> had conceived <2845> by <1537> one <1520> <2192> (5723), even by our <2257> father <3962> Isaac <2464> ;
11 (For <1063> the children being <1080> <0> not yet <3380> born <1080> (5685), neither <3366> having done <4238> (5660) any <5100> good <18> or <2228> evil <2556>, that <2443> the purpose <4286> of God <2316> according <2596> to election <1589> might stand <3306> (5725), not <3756> of <1537> works <2041>, but <235> of <1537> him that calleth <2564> (5723);)
12 <3754> It was said <4483> (5681) unto her <846>, The elder <3187> shall serve <1398> (5692) the younger <1640>.
13 As <2531> it is written <1125> (5769), Jacob <2384> have I loved <25> (5656), but <1161> Esau <2269> have I hated <3404> (5656).
14 # What <5101> shall we say <2046> (5692) then <3767>? <3361> Is there unrighteousness <93> with <3844> God <2316>? God forbid <3361> <1096> (5636).
15 For <1063> he saith <3004> (5719) to Moses <3475>, I will have mercy on <1653> (5692) whom <3739> <302> I will have mercy <1653> (5725), and <2532> I will have compassion <3627> (5692) on whom <3739> <302> I will have compassion <3627> (5725).
16 So <686> then <3767> it is not <3756> of him that willeth <2309> (5723), nor <3761> of him that runneth <5143> (5723), but <235> of God <2316> that sheweth mercy <1653> (5723).
17 For <1063> the scripture <1124> saith <3004> (5719) unto Pharaoh <5328>, Even for <3754> <1519> this <5124> same purpose <846> have I raised <1825> <0> thee <4571> up <1825> (5656), that <3704> I might shew <1731> (5672) my <3450> power <1411> in <1722> thee <4671>, and <2532> that <3704> my <3450> name <3686> might be declared <1229> (5652) throughout <1722> all <3956> the earth <1093>.
18 Therefore <686> <3767> hath he mercy <1653> (5719) on whom <3739> he will <2309> (5719) have mercy, and <1161> whom <3739> he will <2309> (5719) he hardeneth <4645> (5719).
19 Thou wilt say <2046> (5692) then <3767> unto me <3427>, Why <5101> doth he yet <2089> find fault <3201> (5736)? For <1063> who <5101> hath resisted <436> (5758) his <846> will <1013>?
20 Nay but <3304>, O <5599> man <444>, who <5101> art <1488> (5748) thou <4771> that repliest against <470> (5740) God <2316>? <3361> Shall <2046> <0> the thing formed <4110> say <2046> (5692) to him that formed <4111> (5660) it, Why <5101> hast thou made <4160> (5656) me <3165> thus <3779> ?
21 <2228> Hath <2192> (5719) not <3756> the potter <2763> power <1849> over the clay <4081> , of <1537> the same <846> lump <5445> to <3739> <3303> make <4160> (5658) one vessel <4632> unto <1519> honour <5092>, and <1161> another <3739> unto <1519> dishonour <819>?
 - AUTHORITY
22 What if <1487> <1161> God <2316>, willing <2309> (5723) to shew <1731> (5670) his wrath <3709>, and <2532> to make <1107> <0> his <846> power <1415> known <1107> (5658), endured <5342> (5656) with <1722> much <4183> longsuffering <3115> the vessels <4632> of wrath <3709> fitted <2675> (5772) to <1519> destruction <684>:
23 And <2532> that <2443> he might make known <1107> (5661) the riches <4149> of his <846> glory <1391> on <1909> the vessels <4632> of mercy <1656>, which <3739> he had afore prepared <4282> (5656) unto <1519> glory <1391>,
24 <3739> Even <2532> us <2248>, whom <3739> he hath called <2564> (5656), not <3756> of <1537> the Jews <2453> only <3440>, but <235> also <2532> of <1537> the Gentiles <1484>?
25 # As he saith <3004> (5719) also <2532> in <1722> Osee <5617>, I will call <2564> (5692) them my <3450> people <2992>, which were not <3756> my <3450> people <2992>; and <2532> her beloved <25> (5772), which was <25> <0> not <3756> beloved <25> (5772).
26 And <2532> it shall come to pass <2071> (5704), that in <1722> the place <5117> where <3757> (5625) <3739> it was said <4483> (5681) unto them <846>, Ye <5210> are not <3756> my <3450> people <2992>; there <1563> shall they be called <2564> (5701) the children <5207> of the living <2198> (5723) God <2316>.
27 Esaias <2268> also <1161> crieth <2896> (5719) concerning <5228> Israel <2474>, Though <1437> the number <706> of the children <5207> of Israel <2474> be <5600> (5753) as <5613> the sand <285> of the sea <2281>, a remnant <2640> shall be saved <4982> (5701):
28 For <1063> he will finish <4931> (5723) the work <3056>, and <2532> cut it short <4932> (5723) in <1722> righteousness <1343>: because <3754> a short <4932> (5772) work <3056> will <4160> <0> the Lord <2962> make <4160> (5692) upon <1909> the earth <1093>.
29 And <2532> as <2531> Esaias <2268> said before <4280> (5758), Except <1508> the Lord <2962> of Sabaoth <4519> had left <1459> (5627) us <2254> a seed <4690>, we had been <302> <1096> (5675) as <5613> Sodoma <4670>, and <2532> been made like <302> <3666> (5681) unto <5613> Gomorrha <1116> .
30 # What <5101> shall we say <2046> (5692) then <3767>? That <3754> the Gentiles <1484>, which <3588> followed <1377> (5723) not <3361> after righteousness <1343>, have attained <2638> (5627) to righteousness <1343>, even <1161> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of <1537> faith <4102>.
31 But <1161> Israel <2474>, which followed <1377> (5723) after the law <3551> of righteousness <1343> , hath <5348> <0> not <3756> attained <5348> (5656) to <1519> the law <3551> of righteousness <1343> .
32 Wherefore <1302>? Because <3754> they sought it not <3756> by <1537> faith <4102>, but <235> as <5613> it were by <1537> the works <2041> of the law <3551>. For <1063> they stumbled <4350> (5656) at that stumblingstone <3037> <4348>;
33 As <2531> it is written <1125> (5769), Behold <2400> (5628), I lay <5087> (5719) in <1722> Sion <4622> a stumblingstone <3037> <4348> and <2532> rock <4073> of offence <4625>: and <2532> whosoever <3956> believeth <4100> (5723) on <1909> him <846> shall <2617> <0> not <3756> be ashamed <2617> (5701).
