THE NEW TESTAMENT WITHOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT
(i.e., without the Scriptures that Yeshua and Sha'ul
knew.)
ROMANS 9 (NASB)
1 I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying,
my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, 2
that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart.
3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed,
{separated} from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen
according to the flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to whom
belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants
and the giving of the Law and the {temple} service and the
promises, 5 whose are the fathers, and from whom is
the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed
forever. Amen. 6 But {it is} not as though the word
of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are
{descended} from Israel; 7 nor are they all children
because they are Abraham's descendants, but:
"THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE
NAMED." 8 That is, it is not the children of
the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the
promise are regarded as descendants. 9 For this is
the word of promise: "AT THIS TIME I WILL
COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON." 10 And not
only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived
{twins} by one man, our father Isaac; 11 for though
{the twins} were not yet born and had not done anything good or
bad, so that God's purpose according to {His} choice would
stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls,
12 it was said to her, "THE OLDER
WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER." 13 Just as it is
written, "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I
HATED." 14 What shall we say then? There is no
injustice with God, is there? May it never be! 15 For
He says to Moses, "I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM
I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE
COMPASSION." 16 So then it {does} not {depend}
on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has
mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO
DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE
PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH." 18 So
then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He
desires. 19 You will say to me then, "Why does He
still find fault? For who resists His will?" 20 On
the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The
thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me
like this," will it? 21 Or does not the potter have a
right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for
honorable use and another for common use? 22 What if
God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His
power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath
prepared for destruction? 23 And {He did so} to make
known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He
prepared beforehand for glory, 24 {even} us, whom He
also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among
Gentiles. 25 As He says also in Hosea,
"I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE,
'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED.' "
26 "AND IT SHALL BE THAT IN THE
PLACE WHERE IT WAS SAID TO THEM, 'YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,' THERE
THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF THE LIVING GOD."
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel,
"THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE
LIKE THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE REMNANT THAT WILL BE
SAVED; 28 FOR THE LORD WILL
EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, THOROUGHLY AND QUICKLY."
29 And just as Isaiah foretold,
"UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A
POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE
RESEMBLED GOMORRAH." 30 What shall we say
then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained
righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith;
31 but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did
not arrive at {that} law. 32 Why? Because {they did}
not {pursue it} by faith, but as though {it were} by works. They
stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 just as it is
written, "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A STONE OF
STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL
NOT BE DISAPPOINTED."
