Romans 9:24-33

24EvenG2532 usG1473, whomG3739 he hath calledG2564, notG3756 ofG1537 the JewsG2453 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 ofG1537 the GentilesG1484? 25

AsG5613 he saithG3004 alsoG2532 inG1722 HoseaG5617, I will callG2564 themG3588 myG1473 peopleG2992, which wereG3588 notG3756 myG1473 peopleG2992; andG2532 herG3588 belovedG25, which wasG3588 notG3756 belovedG25. 26AndG2532 it shall come to passG1510, that inG1722 the placeG3588G5117 whereG3757 it was saidG2046 unto themG846, YeG4771 are notG3756 myG1473 peopleG2992; thereG1563 shall they be calledG2564 the childrenG5207 of theG2316 livingG2198 GodG2316. 27IsaiahG2268 alsoG1161 criethG2896 concerningG5228 IsraelG2474, ThoughG1437 the numberG3588G706 of the childrenG3588G5207 of IsraelG2474 beG1510 asG5613 the sandG3588G285 of the seaG3588G2281, a remnantG3588G2640 shall be savedG4982: 28ForG1063 he will finishG4931 the workG3056, andG2532 cutG4932 it shortG4932 inG1722 righteousnessG1343: becauseG3754 aG3056 shortG4932 workG3056 willG4160 the LordG2962 makeG4160 uponG1909 the earthG3588G1093. 29AndG2532 asG2531 IsaiahG2268 said beforeG4302, ExceptG1487G3361 the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519 had leftG1459 usG1473 a seedG4690, we had beenG1096 asG5613 SodomG4670, andG2532 been made likeG3666 unto GomorrhaG1116. 30

WhatG5101 shall we sayG2046 thenG3767? ThatG3754 the GentilesG1484, which followedG1377 notG3361 afterG1377 righteousnessG1343, have attained toG2638 righteousnessG1343, evenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 which isG3588 ofG1537 faithG4102. 31ButG1161 IsraelG2474, which followed afterG1377 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343, hathG5348 notG3756 attainedG5348 toG1519 the lawG3551 of righteousnessG1343. 32

WhereforeG5101? BecauseG3754 they sought it notG3756 byG1537 faithG4102, butG235 as it wereG5613 byG1537 the worksG2041 of the lawG3551. ForG1063 they stumbledG4350 at thatG3588G3037 stumblingstoneG3588G4348; 33AsG2531 it is writtenG1125, BeholdG3708, I layG5087 inG1722 ZionG4622 a stumblingstoneG4348 andG2532 rockG4073 of offenceG4625: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 believethG4100 onG1909 himG846 shallG2617 notG3756 be ashamedG2617.
