00:00.000 --> 00:00.800
Chapter 9.

00:01.820 --> 00:06.640
I say the truth in Christ, I lie not,
my conscience also bearing me witness in

00:06.640 --> 00:12.000
the Holy Ghost, that I have great
heaviness and continual sorrow in my

00:12.000 --> 00:12.320
heart.

00:12.820 --> 00:18.020
For I could wish that myself were accursed
from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen,

00:18.140 --> 00:22.500
according to the flesh, who are
Israelites, to whom pertaineth the

00:22.500 --> 00:26.860
adoption, and the glory, and the
covenants, and the giving of the law,

00:26.860 --> 00:32.300
and the service of God, and the promises,
whose are the fathers, and of whom as

00:32.300 --> 00:37.240
concerning the flesh Christ came,
who is over all God, blessed forever.

00:37.840 --> 00:38.140
Amen.

00:39.280 --> 00:44.180
Not as though the word of God hath taken
none effect, for they are not all Israel,

00:44.540 --> 00:49.700
which are of Israel, neither because they
are the seed of Abraham are they all

00:49.700 --> 00:50.120
children.

00:50.840 --> 00:57.500
But in Isaac shall thy seed be called,
that is, they which are the children of

00:57.500 --> 01:01.720
the flesh, these are not the children of
God, but the children of the promise

01:01.720 --> 01:03.400
accounted for the seed.

01:03.980 --> 01:10.140
For this is the word of promise,
At this time will I come, and Sarah shall

01:10.140 --> 01:10.740
have a son.

01:11.560 --> 01:16.940
And not only this, but when Rebekah also
had conceived by one, even by our father

01:16.940 --> 01:21.800
Isaac, for the children being not yet
born, neither having done any good or

01:21.800 --> 01:26.720
evil, that the purpose of God according to
election might stand, not of works,

01:26.980 --> 01:28.460
but of him that calleth.

01:29.260 --> 01:34.400
It was said unto her, The elder shall
serve the younger, as it is written,

01:35.100 --> 01:38.740
Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

01:39.780 --> 01:40.780
What shall we say then?

01:41.340 --> 01:43.560
Is there unrighteousness with God?

01:44.000 --> 01:45.000
God forbid.

01:45.700 --> 01:51.620
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy
on whom I will have mercy, and I will have

01:51.620 --> 01:53.960
compassion on whom I will have compassion.

01:54.600 --> 02:00.380
So then it is not of him that willeth,
nor of him that runneth, but of God that

02:00.380 --> 02:01.280
showeth mercy.

02:02.040 --> 02:07.140
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh,
Even for this same purpose have I raised

02:07.140 --> 02:12.300
thee up, that I might show my power in
thee, and that my name might be declared

02:12.300 --> 02:13.880
throughout all the earth.

02:14.700 --> 02:19.380
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will
have mercy, and whom he will, he

02:19.380 --> 02:19.900
hardeneth.

02:20.540 --> 02:24.480
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he
yet find fault?

02:24.920 --> 02:26.560
For who hath resisted his will?

02:27.380 --> 02:32.240
Nay, but, O man, who art thou that
replyest against God?

02:32.740 --> 02:37.500
Shall the thing formed say to him that
formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

02:38.280 --> 02:43.840
Hath not the potter power over the clay of
the same lump to make one vessel unto

02:43.840 --> 02:45.660
honor, and another unto dishonor?

02:46.160 --> 02:51.240
What if God, willing to show his wrath,
and to make his power known, endured with

02:51.240 --> 02:56.600
much longsuffering the vessels of wrath
fitted to destruction, and that he might

02:56.600 --> 03:01.800
make known the riches of his glory on the
vessels of mercy which he had

03:01.800 --> 03:03.560
aforeprepared unto glory?

03:04.160 --> 03:09.180
Even us, whom he hath called not of the
Jews only, but also of the Gentiles,

03:09.500 --> 03:14.740
as he saith also in Osi, I will call them
my people which were not my people,

03:15.080 --> 03:17.260
and her beloved which was not beloved.

03:17.860 --> 03:21.600
And it shall come to pass, that in the
place where it was said unto them,

03:22.100 --> 03:27.500
Ye are not my people, there shall they be
called the children of the living God.

03:28.260 --> 03:32.900
Isaiah also crieth concerning Israel,
Though the number of the children of

03:32.900 --> 03:37.980
Israel be as the sand of the sea,
a remnant shall be saved, for he will

03:37.980 --> 03:40.740
finish the work, and cut it short in
righteousness.

03:41.420 --> 03:44.320
Because a short work will the Lord make
upon the earth.

03:44.800 --> 03:49.540
And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord
of Sabaoth hath left us a seed,

03:50.060 --> 03:53.800
we had been as Sodom, and been made like
unto Gomorrah.

03:54.500 --> 03:58.640
What shall we say then, that the Gentiles
which followed not after righteousness

03:58.640 --> 04:02.840
have attained to righteousness,
even the righteousness which is of faith?

04:03.400 --> 04:07.700
But Israel which followed after the law of
righteousness hath not attained to the law

04:07.700 --> 04:08.200
of righteousness?

04:08.840 --> 04:14.220
Wherefore, because they sought it not by
faith, but as it were by the works of the

04:14.220 --> 04:14.460
law.

04:14.880 --> 04:22.240
For they stumbled at that stumbling-stone,
as it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a

04:22.240 --> 04:24.680
stumbling-stone, and rock of a fence.

04:25.340 --> 04:28.980
And whosoever believeth on him shall not
be ashamed.
