1
I
say
the
truth
in
Christ,
I
lie
not,
my
conscience
also
bearing
me
witness
in
the
Holy
Ghost,
2
That
I
have
great
heaviness
and
continual
sorrow
in
my
heart.
3
For
I
could
wish
that
myself
were
accursed
from
Christ
for
my
brethren,
my
kinsmen
according
to
the
flesh:
4
Who
are
Israelites;
to
whom
[pertaineth]
the
adoption,
and
the
glory,
and
the
covenants,
and
the
giving
of
the
law,
and
the
service
[of
God],
and
the
promises;
5
Whose
[are]
the
fathers,
and
of
whom
as
concerning
the
flesh
Christ
[came],
who
is
over
all,
God
blessed
for
ever.
Amen.
6
Not
as
though
the
word
of
God
hath
taken
none
effect.
For
they
[are]
not
all
Israel,
which
are
of
Israel:
7
Neither,
because
they
are
the
seed
of
Abraham,
[are
they]
all
children:
but,
In
Isaac
shall
thy
seed
be
called.
8
That
is,
They
which
are
the
children
of
the
flesh,
these
[are]
not
the
children
of
God:
but
the
children
of
the
promise
are
counted
for
the
seed.
9
For
this
[is]
the
word
of
promise,
At
this
time
will
I
come,
and
Sara
shall
have
a
son.
10
And
not
only
[this];
but
when
Rebecca
also
had
conceived
by
one,
[even]
by
our
father
Isaac;
11
(For
[the
children]
being
not
yet
born,
neither
having
done
any
good
or
evil,
that
the
purpose
of
God
according
to
election
might
stand,
not
of
works,
but
of
him
that
calleth;)
12
It
was
said
unto
her,
The
elder
shall
serve
the
younger.
13
As
it
is
written,
Jacob
have
I
loved,
but
Esau
have
I
hated.
14
What
shall
we
say
then?
[Is
there]
unrighteousness
with
God?
God
forbid.
15
For
he
saith
to
Moses,
I
will
have
mercy
on
whom
I
will
have
mercy,
and
I
will
have
compassion
on
whom
I
will
have
compassion.
16
So
then
[it
is]
not
of
him
that
willeth,
nor
of
him
that
runneth,
but
of
God
that
sheweth
mercy.
17
For
the
scripture
saith
unto
Pharaoh,
Even
for
this
same
purpose
have
I
raised
thee
up,
that
I
might
shew
my
power
in
thee,
and
that
my
name
might
be
declared
throughout
all
the
earth.
18
Therefore
hath
he
mercy
on
whom
he
will
[have
mercy],
and
whom
he
will
he
hardeneth.
19
Thou
wilt
say
then
unto
me,
Why
doth
he
yet
find
fault?
For
who
hath
resisted
his
will?
20
Nay
but,
O
man,
who
art
thou
that
repliest
against
God?
Shall
the
thing
formed
say
to
him
that
formed
[it],
Why
hast
thou
made
me
thus?
21
Hath
not
the
potter
power
over
the
clay,
of
the
same
lump
to
make
one
vessel
unto
honour,
and
another
unto
dishonour?
22
[What]
if
God,
willing
to
shew
[his]
wrath,
and
to
make
his
power
known,
endured
with
much
longsuffering
the
vessels
of
wrath
fitted
to
destruction:
23
And
that
he
might
make
known
the
riches
of
his
glory
on
the
vessels
of
mercy,
which
he
had
afore
prepared
unto
glory,
24
Even
us,
whom
he
hath
called,
not
of
the
Jews
only,
but
also
of
the
Gentiles?
25
As
he
saith
also
in
Osee,
I
will
call
them
my
people,
which
were
not
my
people;
and
her
beloved,
which
was
not
beloved.
26
And
it
shall
come
to
pass,
[that]
in
the
place
where
it
was
said
unto
them,
Ye
[are]
not
my
people;
there
shall
they
be
called
the
children
of
the
living
God.
27
Esaias
also
crieth
concerning
Israel,
Though
the
number
of
the
children
of
Israel
be
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
a
remnant
shall
be
saved:
28
For
he
will
finish
the
work,
and
cut
[it]
short
in
righteousness:
because
a
short
work
will
the
Lord
make
upon
the
earth.
29
And
as
Esaias
said
before,
Except
the
Lord
of
Sabaoth
had
left
us
a
seed,
we
had
been
as
Sodoma,
and
been
made
like
unto
Gomorrha.
30
What
shall
we
say
then?
That
the
Gentiles,
which
followed
not
after
righteousness,
have
attained
to
righteousness,
even
the
righteousness
which
is
of
faith.
31
But
Israel,
which
followed
after
the
law
of
righteousness,
hath
not
attained
to
the
law
of
righteousness.
32
Wherefore?
Because
[they
sought
it]
not
by
faith,
but
as
it
were
by
the
works
of
the
law.
For
they
stumbled
at
that
stumblingstone;
33
As
it
is
written,
Behold,
I
lay
in
Sion
a
stumblingstone
and
rock
of
offence:
and
whosoever
believeth
on
him
shall
not
be
ashamed.
