vCNT
1 I speak the truth among the Anointed, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
2 that grief for me is great, and distress incessant in my heart,
3 for I have prayed that I myself would be accursed from the Anointed for the brethren, my kinsmen in regards to the flesh;
4 those who are Israelites, whose is the position of sons, and the honor, and the covenants, and the legislation, and the service, and the promises;
5 whose are the fathers; and of whom are the Anointed in regards to the flesh, being over all blessed of Yahweh for the ages. Truly.
6 Not, however, that the word of Yahweh has failed; since not all those who are from Israel are those of Israel:
7 nor because they are offspring of Abraham all children: but, "In Isaac will your offspring be called."
8 That is to say, the children of the flesh, these are not children of Yahweh, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.
9 Indeed this word of promise: "At the appointed time I will come, and there will be a son for Sarah."
10 And not only, but Rebekka also had conceived from one, by Isaak our father.
11 Then not yet having been born, nor having performed any good or evil, (that the purpose of Yahweh concerning the chosen endures, not from rituals, but from the calling,)
12 to her it was said, "the elder will serve the younger:"
13 just as it is written, "Jakob I love, and Esau I hated."
14 Now what may we say? Injustice is with Yahweh? Certainly not!
15 Indeed to Moses He says, "I will show mercy to whomever I show mercy, and I will feel pity for whomever I feel pity."
16 So then, it is not of he that wishes, nor of he that strives, but of he Yahweh shows mercy upon.
17 For the writings say to Pharaoh, "That for this reason I raised you, so that I would demonstrate in you My power, and so that My name is declared in all the land."
18 So then, He shows mercy to whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes.
19 Therefore you will say to me: yet why does He find fault? Indeed who has resisted His purpose?
20 But rather, O man, who are you to be arguing against Yahweh? Will the figure say to its fabricator: why did you make me in this manner?
21 Or does the potter not have authority over the clay, to make from out of the same lump one vessel for honor, and one for dishonor?
22 Moreover, if Yahweh wishes to display wrath, and to make known His power, with much patience having bore vessels of wrath furnished for destruction;
23 and so that He will make known the wealth of His honor upon vessels of mercy, which He previously prepared for honor;
24 whom also He has called, us not only from among the Judaeans, but also from out of the Nations?
25 And as He says in Hosea, "I will call that which is not My people, My people; and that which is not beloved, beloved."
26 "And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, you are not My people, there they shall be called sons of Yahweh who is living."
27 Moreover Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "If the number of the sons of Israel were as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be preserved:"
28 "Indeed Yahweh will make a complete and quickly executed account upon the earth."
29 And just as Isaiah said beforehand, "Unless Yahweh of armies had left to us offspring, like Sodom we would have become, and as Gomorrah we would have been compared."
30 Now what may we say? That the Nations not pursuing justice, have happened upon justice; but that justice is from of faith.
31 But Israel pursuing a law of justice, with law did not attain.
32 Why? Because it was not from faith, but from rituals. They have stumbled at the stumbling stone.
33 Just as it is written, "Behold, I place in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense: and he who is trusting of Him shall not be ashamed."
