Roman chapter 9

ROM 9

Rejection of Christ by some Israelis

1 I will speak the Truth in Christ and not lie, and my co-perception corroborated me in the Holy Spirit.

2 for, it is great sadness to me, and continuous grief in my heart,

3 because, I wish/pray against a ban/excommunication (anathema) away from Christ, for the sake of my brethren and my kinsmen/relatives in the flesh.

4 some of who are Israelites, of whom is the covenants, and giving of law, and worship/services (latreia) and promises and adoption/placing as sons, and the glory, 

5 of whom are the Patriarchs; and out of whom is the Christ according to the flesh, and upon all is the BLESSED/ADORABLE God, unto ages! Amen.

There are seeds/offsprings of Abraham by promise and children of Abraham in the flesh 

6 however, the word of God is not of the kind that could fall away/be deducted from, because, not all these ones out of Israel, are of Israel.

7 not even all children that are of Abraham are the offsprings: but, in Isaac shall your offsprings be called forth. (Gen 21:12) 

8 These children by the flesh are not reckoned unto the seeds/offsprings but, those children by promise are the children of God.

9 for this is the word of promise; I will come according to the set time, and there will be this son by Sarah (Gen 18:10) 

10 and not to her alone, but also for Rebecca, who had one out of co-habitation with our father, Isaac:

11 no gainsay, for she would give birth to certain persons who have not even practised good or bad things, but, at least, according to the proposal, election of God stays;

not of the deeds, but of the one who is called forth.

12 and the big thing spoken of them was that, the younger will be served. (Gen 25:23)

13 as it was written, Jacob was loved, but Esau hated him (Mal 1:2, Gen 27:41)

God's favor is fair

14 what then shall we say? Is there injustice alongside God? it never happen! Never.

15 for HE said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom possibly show mercy, and I will have pity on who possibly show pity. (Ex 33:19),

16 therefore, ara (a heartfelt sigh lifted to heaven), it is not of who desire, not even of who is running, but to whom God, shows mercy.

17 for the scripture says of Pharaoh, it is unto this same thing, you are raised up, to show MY power/miracles anyhow in you, and anyhow, to herald MY NAME, in the earth. (Ex 9:16), 

18 #therefore, Ara (heartfelt case lifted to heaven), but, who will want to show mercy on who want to be stubborn/hardened. #

19 therefore, it was spoken, why AM I still being blamed? No doubt, then, how will he opposed HIS counsel?

20 yea indeed then, oh man, who are you to answer God back? Never will something moulded (plasma) say to the one moulding it; why have you made me this way? 

21 Or does potter has no authority over clay, to make out of the same mass of lump, some equipment which indeed will be unto honor, and also some which will be unto dishonor?

22 So, if God determines, to make known HIS power by wrath among many, HE will show it forth with long-patience and an equipment, thoroughly prepared unto destruction will bear the wrath.

23 And, at least, upon making known, the wealth of HIS Glory, (there is) equipment of mercy which is prepared in advance unto glory,

24 and WHO has called us forth, but why not out from the Jews alone, but also, out from the heathen-races?

25 as it was said even in Hosea; I will call forth those who are not MY people; My people; and those who are not loved, shall be loved. (Hos 2:23) 

26 So, it is in places where it was spoken to them, you were not MY people; there, the sons of the Living God, shall be called forth. (Hos 1:10) 

God's purpose in spite of some Isrealis' rejection of Christ 

27 Moreover, Isaiah screamed for the sake of Israel, in case, the number of the sons of Isreal is as the heaped sand of the sea, those left behind (survivals), shall be saved. (Is 10:22) 

28 for the Lord will jointly shorten/abridge things to be done, and will jointly completely execute the words/matters upon the earth.

29 And just as Isaiah previously said, if the Supreme Lord of (heavenly) army (tsabaoth) has not left our offsprings behind, we would have become possibly like Sodom, and possibly become similar like Gomorrah, (Is 1:9)

Present status of Isreal 

30 What then shall we say? That the heathen-Nations who never pursue justification, have eagerly received justification, even justification from Faith;

31 but Israel, who had pursued (it) by law, could not attain unto justification by law

32 by what reason? Because, it should be from Faith, but they stumble at a stumbling stone (apostasy) from (their) effort/work. 

33 just as it is written, behold, I positioned Him upon a mass of Rock (Petra) in Zion, also as a stumbling-stone (occasion to fall) of scandal (apostasy); but those who have Faith, will not be shamed down. (Is 8:14, 28:16)
