Romans 9:19-29
191You will sayG3004 to me thenG3767, “2WhyG5101 does He stillG2089 findG3201 faultG3201? For 3whoG5101 has resistedG436 His willG1013?” 20OnG3304 theG3304 contraryG3304, whoG5101 are you, 45you foolish personG444, who 6answersG470 backG470 to GodG2316? 7The thingG4110 moldedG4110 will not sayG3004 to the molderG4111, “WhyG5101 did you makeG4160 me likeG3779 thisG3779,” will it? 21OrG2228 does the potterG2763 not haveG2192 a rightG1849 over the clayG4081, to makeG4160 from the sameG846 lumpG5445 oneG3739G3303 objectG4632 8for honorableG5092 useG5092, and anotherG3739G1161 9for commonG819 useG819? 2210WhatG1161 ifG1487 GodG2316, although willingG2309 to demonstrateG1731 His wrathG3709 and to makeG1107 His powerG1415 knownG1107, enduredG5342 with greatG4183 11patienceG3115 objectsG4632 of wrathG3709 12preparedG2675 for destructionG684? 23And He did so to makeG1107 knownG1107 13the richesG4149 of His gloryG1391 upon 14objectsG4632 of mercyG1656, whichG3739 He 15preparedG4282 beforehandG4282 for gloryG1391, 24namely us, whomG3739 He alsoG2532 16calledG2564, 17not onlyG3440 from amongG1537 JewsG2453, but alsoG2532 from amongG1537 GentilesG1484, 25as He alsoG2532 saysG3004 in HoseaG5617: “18I will callG2564 thoseG3588 who were not My peopleG2992, ‘My peopleG2992,’ And her who was not belovedG25, ‘belovedG25.’”26“19And 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 20the livingG2198 GodG2316.”
27IsaiahG2268 criesG2896 outG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, “21ThoughG1437 the numberG706 of the sonsG5207 of IsraelG2474 may be 22likeG5613 the sandG285 of the seaG2281, only 23the remnantG5275 will be savedG4982; 2824for the LordG2962 will executeG4160 His wordG3056 on the earthG1093, 25thoroughlyG4931 and 26quicklyG4932.” 29And justG2531 asG2531 IsaiahG2268 foretoldG4275: “27IfG1487 28the LordG2962 29of armiesG4519 had not leftG1459 us 3031descendantsG4690, 32We would have becomeG1096 likeG5613 SodomG4670, and would have 33beenG3666 likeG3666 GomorrahG1116.”
