Revised Young's Literal Translation
New Testament
| 9:1 | Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit, |
| 9:2 | that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart -- |
| 9:3 | for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh, |
| 9:4 | who are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises, |
| 9:5 | whose are the fathers, and of whom is the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen. |
| 9:6 | And it is not possible that the word of God has failed; for not all who are of Israel are these Israel; |
| 9:7 | nor because they are seed of Abraham are all children, but -- 'in Isaac shall a seed be called to you;' |
| 9:8 | that is, the children of the flesh -- these are not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed; |
| 9:9 | for the word of promise is this; 'According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.' |
| 9:10 | And not only so, but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father -- |
| 9:11 | (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her -- |
| 9:12 | 'The greater shall serve the less;' |
| 9:13 | according as it has been written, 'Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.' |
| 9:14 | What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness is with God? let it not be! |
| 9:15 | for to Moses He says, 'I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;' |
| 9:16 | so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness: |
| 9:17 | for the Writing says to Pharaoh -- 'For this very thing I did raise you up, that I might show in you My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;' |
| 9:18 | so, then, to whom He wills, He does kindness, and to whom He wills, He does harden. |
| 9:19 | You will say, then, to me, 'Why yet does He find fault? for His counsel who has resisted?' |
| 9:20 | nay, but, O man, who are you that are answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form it, Why me did you make thus? |
| 9:21 | has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour? |
| 9:22 | And if God, willing to show the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction, |
| 9:23 | and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us -- |
| 9:24 | not only out of Jews, but also out of nations, |
| 9:25 | as also in Hosea He says, 'I will call what is not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved, |
| 9:26 | 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 the living God.' |
| 9:27 | And Isaiah does cry concerning Israel, 'If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved; |
| 9:28 | for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land. |
| 9:29 | and according as Isaiah says before, 'Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.' |
| 9:30 | What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that is of faith, |
| 9:31 | and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive; |
| 9:32 | therefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling, |
| 9:33 | according as it has been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.' |
