KJV_Strong : Romans 9
1. I say[G3004] the truth[G225] in[G1722] Christ,[G5547] I lie[G5574] not,[G3756] my[G3450] conscience[G4893] also bearing me witness[G4828] [G3427] in[G1722] the Holy[G40] Ghost,[G4151]
2. That[G3754] I[G3427] have[G2076] great[G3173] heaviness[G3077] and[G2532] continual[G88] sorrow[G3601] in my[G3450] heart.[G2588]
3. For[G1063] I[G1473] could wish[G2172] that myself[G848] were[G1511] accursed[G331] from[G575] Christ[G5547] for[G5228] my[G3450] brethren,[G80] my[G3450] kinsmen[G4773] according[G2596] to the flesh: [G4561]
4. Who[G3748] are[G1526] Israelites;[G2475] to whom[G3739] pertaineth the[G3588] adoption,[G5206] and[G2532] the[G3588] glory,[G1391] and[G2532] the[G3588] covenants,[G1242] and[G2532] the[G3588] giving of the law,[G3548] and[G2532] the[G3588] service[G2999] of God, and[G2532] the[G3588] promises;[G1860]
5. Whose[G3739] are the[G3588] fathers,[G3962] and[G2532] of[G1537] whom[G3739] as concerning[G2596] the flesh[G4561] Christ[G5547] came, who is[G5607] over[G1909] all,[G3956] God[G2316] blessed[G2128] forever.[G1519] [G165] Amen.[G281]
6. [G1161] Not[G3756] as though[G3754] [G3634] the[G3588] word[G3056] of God[G2316] hath taken none effect.[G1601] For[G1063] they[G3778] are not[G3756] all[G3956] Israel,[G2474] which[G3588] are of[G1537] Israel: [G2474]
7. Neither,[G3761] because[G3754] they are[G1526] the seed[G4690] of Abraham,[G11] are they all[G3956] children:[G5043] but,[G235] In[G1722] Isaac[G2464] shall thy[G4671] seed[G4690] be called.[G2564]
8. That is,[G5123] They which are the[G3588] children[G5043] of the[G3588] flesh,[G4561] these[G5023] are not[G3756] the children[G5043] of God:[G2316] but[G235] the[G3588] children[G5043] of the[G3588] promise[G1860] are counted[G3049] for[G1519] the seed.[G4690]
9. For[G1063] this[G3778] is the[G3588] word[G3056] of promise,[G1860] At[G2596] this[G5126] time[G2540] will I come,[G2064] and[G2532] Sarah[G4564] shall have[G2071] a son.[G5207]
10. And[G1161] not[G3756] only[G3440] this; but[G235] when Rebecca[G4479] also[G2532] had[G2192] conceived[G2845] by[G1537] one,[G1520] even by our[G2257] father[G3962] Isaac;[G2464]
11. (For[G1063] the children being not yet[G3380] born,[G1080] neither[G3366] having done[G4238] any[G5100] good[G18] or[G2228] evil,[G2556] that[G2443] the[G3588] purpose[G4286] of God[G2316] according[G2596] to election[G1589] might stand,[G3306] not[G3756] of[G1537] works,[G2041] but[G235] of[G1537] him that calleth;)[G2564]
12. It was said[G4483] unto her,[G846] The[G3588] elder[G3187] shall serve[G1398] the[G3588] younger.[G1640]
13. As[G2531] it is written,[G1125]
14. What[G5101] shall we say[G2046] then?[G3767] Is there[G3361] unrighteousness[G93] with[G3844] God?[G2316] God forbid.[G1096] [G3361]
15. For[G1063] he saith[G3004] to Moses,[G3475]
16. So[G686] then[G3767] it is not[G3756] of him that willeth,[G2309] nor[G3761] of him that runneth,[G5143] but[G235] of God[G2316] that showeth mercy.[G1653]
17. For[G1063] the[G3588] Scripture[G1124] saith[G3004] unto Pharaoh,[G5328] Even for[G1519] this same purpose[G5124] [G846] have I raised thee up,[G1825] [G4571] that[G3704] I might show[G1731] my[G3450] power[G1411] in[G1722] thee,[G4671] and[G2532] that[G3704] my[G3450] name[G3686] might be declared[G1229] throughout[G1722] all[G3956] the[G3588] earth.[G1093]
18. Therefore[G686] [G3767] hath he mercy[G1653] on whom[G3739] he will[G2309] have mercy, and[G1161] whom[G3739] he will[G2309] he hardeneth.[G4645]
19. Thou wilt say[G2046] then[G3767] unto me,[G3427] Why[G5101] doth he yet[G2089] find fault?[G3201] For[G1063] who[G5101] hath resisted[G436] his[G846] will?[G1013]
20. Nay but,[G3304] O[G5599] man,[G444] who[G5101] art[G1488] thou[G4771] that repliest against[G470] God?[G2316] Shall[G3361] the[G3588] thing formed[G4110] say[G2046] to him that formed[G4111] it, Why[G5101] hast thou made[G4160] me[G3165] thus?[G3779]
21. [G2228] Hath[G2192] not[G3756] the[G3588] potter[G2763] power[G1849] over the[G3588] clay,[G4081] of[G1537] the[G3588] same[G846] lump[G5445] to make[G4160] one[G3739] [G3303] vessel[G4632] unto[G1519] honor,[G5092] and[G1161] another[G3739] unto[G1519] dishonor?[G819]
22. What[G1161] if[G1487] God,[G2316] willing[G2309] to show[G1731] his wrath,[G3709] and[G2532] to make his power known,[G1107] [G848] [G1415] endured[G5342] with[G1722] much[G4183] longsuffering[G3115] the vessels[G4632] of wrath[G3709] fitted[G2675] to[G1519] destruction: [G684]
23. And[G2532] that[G2443] he might make known[G1107] the[G3588] riches[G4149] of his[G848] glory[G1391] on[G1909] the vessels[G4632] of mercy,[G1656] which[G3739] he had afore prepared[G4282] unto[G1519] glory,[G1391]
24. Even[G2532] us,[G2248] whom[G3739] he hath called,[G2564] not[G3756] of[G1537] the Jews[G2453] only,[G3440] but[G235] also[G2532] of[G1537] the Gentiles?[G1484]
25. As[G5613] he saith[G3004] also[G2532] in[G1722] Hosea,[G5617]
26.
27. Isaiah[G2268] also[G1161] crieth[G2896] concerning[G5228] Israel,[G2474] Though[G1437] the[G3588] number[G706] of the[G3588] children[G5207] of Israel[G2474] be[G5600] as[G5613] the[G3588] sand[G285] of the[G3588] sea,[G2281] a remnant[G2640] shall be saved: [G4982]
28. For[G1063] he will finish[G4931] the work,[G3056] and[G2532] cut it short[G4932] in[G1722] righteousness:[G1343] because[G3754] a short[G4932] work[G3056] will the Lord[G2962] make[G4160] upon[G1909] the[G3588] earth.[G1093]
29. And[G2532] as[G2531] Isaiah[G2268] said before,[G4280]
30. What[G5101] shall we say[G2046] then?[G3767] That[G3754] the Gentiles,[G1484] which[G3588] followed[G1377] not[G3361] after righteousness,[G1343] have attained[G2638] to righteousness,[G1343] even[G1161] the righteousness[G1343] which[G3588] is of[G1537] faith.[G4102]
31. But[G1161] Israel,[G2474] which followed[G1377] after the law[G3551] of righteousness,[G1343] hath not[G3756] attained[G5348] to[G1519] the law[G3551] of righteousness.[G1343]
32. Wherefore?[G1302] Because[G3754] they sought it not[G3756] by[G1537] faith,[G4102] but[G235] as it were[G5613] by[G1537] the works[G2041] of the law.[G3551] For[G1063] they stumbled[G4350] at that stumblingstone;[G4348] [G3037]
33. As[G2531] it is written,[G1125]
