Romans 9:20-33
20ButG3304 whoG5101 are youG1510, OG5599 manG444, to talk backG470 to GodG2316? Shall whatG3588 is formedG4110 sayG2046 to Him whoG3588 formedG4111 it, “WhyG5101 did You makeG4160 meG1473 like thisG3779?”1 21Does notG3756 theG3588 potterG2763 haveG2192 the rightG1849 to makeG4160 fromG1537 theG3588 sameG846 lumpG5445 of clayG4081 oneG3739 vesselG4632 forG1519 special occasionsG5092 andG1161 another forG1519 common useG819?
What ifG1487 GodG2316, intendingG2309 to showG1731 His wrathG3709 andG2532 makeG1107 HisG846 power knownG1415, boreG5342 withG1722 greatG4183 patienceG3115 the vesselsG4632 of His wrathG3709, preparedG2675 forG1519 destructionG684? 23What if He did this toG2443 makeG1107 theG3588 richesG4149 ofG3588 HisG846 glory knownG1391 toG1909 the vesselsG4632 of His mercyG1656, whomG3739 He prepared in advanceG4282 forG1519 gloryG1391— 24includingG2532 usG1473, whomG3739 He has calledG2564 notG3756 onlyG3440 fromG1537 the JewsG2453, butG235 alsoG2532 fromG1537 the GentilesG1484? 25AsG5613 He saysG3004 inG1722 HoseaG5617:
IsaiahG2268 cries outG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474:
It is just asG2531 IsaiahG2268 foretoldG4302:
30WhatG5101 thenG3767 will we sayG2046? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, whoG3588 did not pursueG3361G1377 righteousnessG1343, have obtainedG2638 it, a righteousnessG1343 thatG3588 is byG1537 faithG4102; 31butG1161 IsraelG2474, who pursuedG1377 a lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, has not attainedG3756G5348 it. 32WhyG1223G5101 not? BecauseG3754 their pursuit was notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 as ifG5613 it were byG1537 worksG2041. They stumbledG4350 over theG3588 stumblingG3588G4348 stoneG3037, 33asG2531 it is writtenG1125:
