Romans 9 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Solicitude for Israel

Rom 9:1I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

Rom 9:2that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.

Rom 9:3For I could [fn]wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

Rom 9:4

Rom 9:4who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises,

Rom 9:5

Rom 9:5whose are the fathers, and from whom is [fn]the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed [fn]forever. Amen.

(Gen 25:19–23 )

Rom 9:6

Rom 9:6But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;

Rom 9:7

Rom 9:7nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s [fn]descendants, but: “[fn]THROUGH ISAAC YOUR [fn]DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED.”

Rom 9:8

Rom 9:8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as [fn]descendants.

Rom 9:9

Rom 9:9For this is the word of promise: “AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON.”

Rom 9:10

Rom 9:10And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;

Rom 9:11

Rom 9:11for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to His choice would [fn]stand, not [fn]because of works but [fn]because of Him who calls,

Rom 9:12

Rom 9:12it was said to her, “THE OLDER WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER.”

Rom 9:13

Rom 9:13Just as it is written, “JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED.”

Rom 9:14

Rom 9:14What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? May it never be!

Rom 9:15

Rom 9:15For He says to Moses, “I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION.”

Rom 9:16

Rom 9:16So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

Rom 9:17

Rom 9:17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED [fn]THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH.”

Rom 9:18

Rom 9:18So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

Rom 9:19

Rom 9:19You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?”

Rom 9:20

Rom 9:20On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it?

Rom 9:21

Rom 9:21Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel [fn]for honorable use and another [fn]for common use?

Rom 9:22

Rom 9:22 [fn]What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?

Rom 9:23

Rom 9:23And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,

Rom 9:24

Rom 9:24even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.

Rom 9:25

Rom 9:25As He says also in Hosea,
“I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, ‘MY PEOPLE,’
AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, ‘BELOVED.’”

Rom 9:26

Rom 9:26“AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, ‘YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,’
THERE THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.”

Rom 9:27

Rom 9:27Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED;

Rom 9:28

Rom 9:28FOR THE LORD WILL EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, [fn]THOROUGHLY AND [fn]QUICKLY.”

Rom 9:29

Rom 9:29And just as Isaiah foretold,
“UNLESS THE LORD OF [fn]SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A [fn]POSTERITY,
WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE [fn]RESEMBLED GOMORRAH.”

Rom 9:30

Rom 9:30What shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the righteousness which is [fn]by faith;

Rom 9:31

Rom 9:31but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law.

Rom 9:32

Rom 9:32Why? Because they did not pursue it [fn]by faith, but as though it were [fn]by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

Rom 9:33

Rom 9:33just as it is written,
“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE,
AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE [fn]DISAPPOINTED.”
