Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Romans 9

1 Paul is sorry for the Jews. 7 All the seed of Abraham were not the children of the promise. 18 God hath mercy upon whom he will. 21 The potter may do with his clay what he list. 25 The calling of the Gentiles and rejecting of the Jews were foretold. 32 The cause why so few Jews embrace the righteousness of faith.

 9:1 ¶ I say 3004 z5719 the truth 225 in 1722 Christ, 5547 I lie 5574 z5736 not, 3756 my 3450 conscience 4893 also bearing y4828 z0 me y3427 witness 4828 z5723 x3427 in 1722 the Holy 40 Ghost, 4151

 9:2 That 3754 I 3427 have 2076 z5748 great 3173 heaviness 3077 and 2532 continual 88 sorrow x3601 in y3601 my 3450 heart. 2588

 9:3 For 1063 I 1473 could wish 2172 z5711 that myself y846 x848 were 1511 z5750 accursed 331 from 575 Christ 5547 for 5228 my 3450 brethren, 80 my 3450 kinsmen 4773 according 2596 to the flesh: 4561

 9:4 Who 3748 are 1526 z5748 Israelites; 2475 to whom 3739 [pertaineth] the x3588 adoption, 5206 and 2532 the x3588 glory, 1391 and 2532 the x3588 covenants, 1242 and 2532 the x3588 giving of the law, 3548 and 2532 the x3588 service 2999 [of God], and 2532 the x3588 promises; 1860

 9:5 Whose 3739 [are] the x3588 fathers, 3962 and 2532 of 1537 whom 3739 as concerning 2596 the flesh 4561 Christ 5547 [came], who y5607 z5752 is x5607 over 1909 all, 3956 God 2316 blessed 2128 for y1519 ever. 165 x1519 Amen. 281

 9:6 x1161 Not 3756 as y3634 though 3754 y1161 x3634 the x3588 word 3056 of God 2316 hath taken none effect. 1601 z5758 For 1063 they x3778 [are] not 3756 all 3956 y1537 Israel, 2474 which 3588 y3778 are of x1537 Israel: 2474

 9:7 Neither, 3761 because 3754 they are 1526 z5748 the seed 4690 of Abraham, 11 [are they] all 3956 children: 5043 but, 235 In 1722 Isaac 2464 shall y2564 z0 thy 4671 seed 4690 be called. 2564 z5701

 9:8 That is, 5123 z5748 They which are the x3588 children 5043 of the x3588 flesh, 4561 these 5023 [are] not 3756 the children 5043 of God: 2316 but 235 the x3588 children 5043 of the x3588 promise 1860 are counted 3049 z5736 for 1519 the seed. 4690

 9:9 For 1063 this 3778 [is] the x3588 word 3056 of promise, 1860 At 2596 this 5126 time 2540 will I come, 2064 z5695 and 2532 Sara 4564 shall have 2071 z5704 a son. 5207

 9:10 And 1161 not 3756 only 3440 [this]; but 235 when Rebecca 4479 also 2532 had x2192 conceived 2845 by 1537 one, 1520 y2192 z5723 [even] by our 2257 father 3962 Isaac; 2464

 9:11 (For 1063 [the children] being y1080 z0 not yet 3380 born, 1080 z5685 neither 3366 having done 4238 z5660 any 5100 good 18 or 2228 evil, 2556 that 2443 the x3588 purpose 4286 of God 2316 according 2596 to election 1589 might stand, 3306 z5725 not 3756 of 1537 works, 2041 but 235 of 1537 him that calleth;) 2564 z5723

 9:12 y3754 It was said 4483 z5681 unto her, 846 The x3588 elder 3187 shall serve 1398 z5692 the x3588 younger. 1640

 9:13 As 2531 it is written, 1125 z5769 Jacob 2384 have I loved, 25 z5656 but 1161 Esau 2269 have I hated. 3404 z5656

 9:14 What 5101 shall we say 2046 z5692 then? 3767 y3361 [Is there] x3361 unrighteousness 93 with 3844 God? 2316 God forbid. 3361 1096 z5636

 9:15 For 1063 he saith 3004 z5719 to Moses, 3475 I will have mercy x1653 on y1653 z5692 whom 3739 302 I will have mercy, 1653 z5725 and 2532 I will have compassion 3627 z5692 on whom 3739 302 I will have compassion. 3627 z5725

 9:16 So 686 then 3767 [it is] not 3756 of him that willeth, 2309 z5723 nor 3761 of him that runneth, 5143 z5723 but 235 of God 2316 that sheweth mercy. 1653 z5723

 9:17 For 1063 the x3588 scripture 1124 saith 3004 z5719 unto Pharaoh, 5328 Even for 1519 y3754 this y5124 same purpose 846 x5124 have I raised y1825 z0 thee y4571 up, 1825 z5656 x4571 that 3704 I might shew 1731 z5672 my 3450 power 1411 in 1722 thee, 4671 and 2532 that 3704 my 3450 name 3686 might be declared 1229 z5652 throughout 1722 all 3956 the x3588 earth. 1093

 9:18 Therefore 686 3767 hath he mercy 1653 z5719 on whom 3739 he will 2309 z5719 [have mercy], and 1161 whom 3739 he will 2309 z5719 he hardeneth. 4645 z5719

 9:19 Thou wilt say 2046 z5692 then 3767 unto me, 3427 Why 5101 doth he yet 2089 find fault? 3201 z5736 For 1063 who 5101 hath resisted 436 z5758 his 846 will? 1013

 9:20 Nay but, 3304 O 5599 man, 444 who 5101 art 1488 z5748 thou 4771 that repliest against 470 z5740 God? 2316 y3361 Shall y2046 z0 x3361 the x3588 thing formed 4110 say 2046 z5692 to him that formed 4111 z5660 [it], Why 5101 hast thou made 4160 z5656 me 3165 thus? 3779

 9:21 2228 Hath 2192 z5719 not 3756 the x3588 potter 2763 power 1849 over the x3588 clay, 4081 of 1537 the x3588 same 846 lump 5445 to y3739 y3303 make 4160 z5658 one x3739 x3303 vessel 4632 unto 1519 honour, 5092 and 1161 another 3739 unto 1519 dishonour? 819

 9:22 [What] x1161 if 1487 y1161 God, 2316 willing 2309 z5723 to shew 1731 z5670 [his] wrath, 3709 and 2532 to make y1107 z0 his y846 power y1415 known, 1107 z5658 x848 x1415 endured 5342 z5656 with 1722 much 4183 longsuffering 3115 the vessels 4632 of wrath 3709 fitted 2675 z5772 to 1519 destruction: 684

 9:23 And 2532 that 2443 he might make known 1107 z5661 the x3588 riches 4149 of his y846 x848 glory 1391 on 1909 the vessels 4632 of mercy, 1656 which 3739 he had afore prepared 4282 z5656 unto 1519 glory, 1391

 9:24 y3739 Even 2532 us, 2248 whom 3739 he hath called, 2564 z5656 not 3756 of 1537 the Jews 2453 only, 3440 but 235 also 2532 of 1537 the Gentiles? 1484

 9:25 As x5613 he saith 3004 z5719 also 2532 in 1722 Osee, 5617 I will call 2564 z5692 them my 3450 people, 2992 which x3588 were not 3756 my 3450 people; 2992 and 2532 her beloved, 25 z5772 which was y25 z0 not y3756 beloved. 25 z5772 x3756

 9:26 And 2532 it shall come to pass, 2071 z5704 [that] in 1722 the x3588 place 5117 where 3757 z5625 y3739 it was said 4483 z5681 unto them, 846 Ye 5210 [are] not 3756 my 3450 people; 2992 there 1563 shall they be called 2564 z5701 the children 5207 of the living 2198 z5723 God. 2316

 9:27 Esaias 2268 also 1161 crieth 2896 z5719 concerning 5228 Israel, 2474 Though 1437 the x3588 number 706 of the x3588 children 5207 of Israel 2474 be 5600 z5753 as 5613 the x3588 sand 285 of the x3588 sea, 2281 a remnant 2640 shall be saved: 4982 z5701

 9:28 For 1063 he will finish 4931 z5723 the work, 3056 and 2532 cut [it] short 4932 z5723 in 1722 righteousness: 1343 because 3754 a short 4932 z5772 work 3056 will y4160 z0 the Lord 2962 make 4160 z5692 upon 1909 the x3588 earth. 1093

 9:29 And 2532 as 2531 Esaias 2268 said before, 4280 z5758 Except 1508 the Lord 2962 of Sabaoth 4519 had left 1459 z5627 us 2254 a seed, 4690 we had been 302 1096 z5675 as 5613 Sodoma, 4670 and 2532 been made like 302 3666 z5681 unto 5613 Gomorrha. 1116

 9:30 What 5101 shall we say 2046 z5692 then? 3767 That 3754 the Gentiles, 1484 which 3588 followed 1377 z5723 not 3361 after righteousness, 1343 have attained 2638 z5627 to righteousness, 1343 even 1161 the righteousness 1343 which 3588 is of 1537 faith. 4102

 9:31 But 1161 Israel, 2474 which followed 1377 z5723 after the law 3551 of righteousness, 1343 hath y5348 z0 not 3756 attained 5348 z5656 to 1519 the law 3551 of righteousness. 1343

 9:32 Wherefore? 1302 Because 3754 [they sought it] not 3756 by 1537 faith, 4102 but 235 as y5613 it were x5613 by 1537 the works 2041 of the law. 3551 For 1063 they stumbled 4350 z5656 at that stumblingstone; 3037 4348

 9:33 As 2531 it is written, 1125 z5769 Behold, 2400 z5628 I lay 5087 z5719 in 1722 Sion 4622 a stumblingstone 3037 4348 and 2532 rock 4073 of offence: 4625 and 2532 whosoever 3956 believeth 4100 z5723 on 1909 him 846 shall y2617 z0 not 3756 be ashamed. 2617 z5701
