Romans 9:20-33

20On the contraryG3304, whoG5101 are you, 1OG5599 manG444, who 2answersG470 backG470 to GodG2316? 3The thingG4110 moldedG4110 will not sayG3004 to the molderG4111, “WhyG5101 did you makeG4160 me likeG3779 thisG3779,” will it? 21OrG2228 does not the potterG2763 haveG2192 a rightG1849 over the clayG4081, to makeG4160 from the sameG846 lumpG5445 oneG3739G3303 vesselG4632 4for honorableG5092 useG5092 and anotherG3739G1161 5for commonG819 useG819? 226WhatG1161 ifG1487 GodG2316, although willingG2309 to demonstrateG1731 His wrathG3709 and to makeG1107 His powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 with muchG4183 7patienceG3115 vesselsG4632 of wrathG3709 8preparedG2675 for destructionG684? 23And He did so to makeG1107 knownG1107 9the richesG4149 of His gloryG1391 upon 10vesselsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 He 11preparedG4282 beforehandG4282 for gloryG1391, 24even us, whomG3739 He alsoG2532 12calledG2564, 13not from amongG1537 JewsG2453 onlyG3440, but alsoG2532 from amongG1537 GentilesG1484. 25As He saysG3004 alsoG2532 in HoseaG5617, “14I will callG2564 thoseG3588 who were not My peopleG2992, ‘My peopleG2992,’ And her who was not belovedG25, ‘belovedG25.’”26“15And it shall be that in the placeG5117 whereG3757 it was saidG3004 to them, ‘you are not My peopleG2992,’ ThereG1563 they shall be calledG2564 sonsG5207 of 16the livingG2198 GodG2316.”

27IsaiahG2268 criesG2896 out concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, “17ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2274 be 18likeG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, it is 19the remnantG5275 that will be savedG4982; 2820for the LordG2962 will executeG4160 His wordG3056 on the earthG1093, 21thoroughlyG4931 and 22quicklyG4932.” 29And justG2531 as IsaiahG2268 foretoldG4275, “23UnlessG1508 24the LordG2962 of 25SabaothG4519 had leftG1459 to us a 26posterityG4690, 27We would have becomeG1096 likeG5613 SodomG4670, and would have 28resembledG3666 GomorrahG1116.”

3029WhatG5101 shall we sayG3004 thenG3767? That GentilesG1484, who did not pursueG1377 righteousnessG1343, attainedG2638 righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 30the righteousnessG1343 which is 31by faithG4102; 31but IsraelG2474, 32pursuingG1377 a lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, did not 33arriveG5348 at that lawG3551. 32WhyG1223G5101? BecauseG3754 they did not pursue it 34by faithG4102, but as thoughG5613 it were 35by worksG2041. They stumbledG4350 overG4350 36the stumblingG4348 stoneG3037, 33justG2531 as it is writtenG1125, “37BeholdG2400, I layG5087 in ZionG4622 38a stoneG3037 of stumblingG4348 and a rockG4073 of offenseG4625, 39And he who believesG4100 in Him 40will not be 41disappointedG2617.”
