Chap. IX.
With a protestation of his sorow for it (lest they should thinke him to reioyce in their
perdition) he insinuateth the Iewes to be reprobate, although they come of
Abrahams flesh, 6 saying, to be the sonnes of God, goeth not by that, but by
Gods grace: 19 considering that al vvere one damned masse. 24 by which
grace the Gentils to be made his people: and so the prophets to haue foretold of
them both. 30 And the cause hereof to be, that the Gentils submit them selues
to the faith of Christ, vvhich the Iewes vvil not.
1 I speake the verity in Christ, I lie not, my
conscience bearing me vvitnes in the holy
Ghost,
2 that I haue great sadnesse & continual
sorovv in my hart.
3 For I vvished, my
self to be an09Q1002 anàthema from Christ for my
brethren, vvho are my kinsmen according
to the flesh,
4 vvho are Israëlites, vvhose is
the adoption of sonnes, and the glorie, and the testament, and
the lavv giuing, and note the seruice, and the promisses:
5 vvhose
are the fathers, & of vvhom Christ is according to the flesh,
vvho is aboue al things God blessed for euer. Amen.
6 But not that the vvord of God is frustrate. For,09Q1003 not al that
are of Israël, they be Israëlites:
7 nor they that are the seede
of Abrah&abar;, al be children:09Q1004 but in Isaac shal the seede be called vnto thee: note
8 that is to say, not they that are the childr&ebar; of the flesh, they
are the children of God: but they that are the children of the
promisse, are esteemed for the seede.
9 For the vvord of the
-- --
promisse is this, According to this time vvil I come: and Sara shal haue a
sonne. note
10 And not only she, But note Rebecca also conceiuing
09Q1005 of one copulation, of Isaac our father. note
11 For vvhen they
vvere09Q1006 not yet borne, nor had done any good or euil (that
the purpose of God according to election might stand)
12 not of vvorkes, but of the caller it vvas said to her: That
the elder shal serue the yonger, note
13 as it is vvritten: Iacob I loued, but Esau I
hated. note
14 Vvhat shal vve say then? 09Q1007Is there iniquitie vvith God?
God forbid.
15 For to Moyses he saith, I vvil haue mercie on vvhom
I haue mercie: and I vvil shevv mercie to vvhom I vvil shevv mercie. note
16 Therfore
it is09Q1008 not of the vviller, nor the runner, but of God that
shevveth mercie.
17 For the Scripture saith to Pharao: That
09Q1009 to this very purpose haue I raised thee, that in thee I may shevv my povver: and
that my name may be renovvmed in the vvhole earth. note
18 Therfore on
vvhom he vvil, he hath mercie: and vvhom he vvil, he doth
indurate.
19 Thou saiest therfore vnto me: Vvhy doth he yet complaine?
for vvho resisteth his vvil?
20 O man,09Q1010 vvho art
thou that doest ansvver God? Doth the vvorke say to him
that vvrought it: Vvhy hast thou made me thus?
21 Or hath
not09Q1011 the potter of clay, povver, of the same masse to make
one vessel vnto honour, and an other vnto c&obar;tumelie?
22 And
if God vvilling to shevv vvrath, and to make his might
knovven, note susteined in much patience the vessels of vvrath
note apte to destruction,
23 that he might shevv the riches of
his glorie vpon the vessels of mercie vvhich he prepared vnto
glorie.
24 Vvhom also he hath called, vs, not only of the Ievves,
but also of the Gentiles,
25 as in Osee he saith, I vvil call that
vvhich is not my people, my people: and her that vvas not beloued, beloued: and
her that hath not obteined mercie, hauing obteined mercie. note
26 And it shal be, in
the place vvhere it vvas said to them, you are not my people: there they shal be
called the sonnes of the liuing God. note
27 And Esaie crieth for Israel, If the
number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remaines shal be
saued.
28 For consummating a vvord, and abbridging it in equitie: because
vvord abbridged shal our Lord make vpon the earth. note
29 And as Esay foretold,
Vnles the Lord of Sabaoth had left vs seede: vve had been made like Sodom,
and vve had been like as Gomorrha. note
30 What shal vve say then? That the Gentiles vvhich pursued
not after iustice, haue apprehended iustice, but the iustice
that is of faith.
31 But Israel in pursuing the lavv of iustice,
is not come vnto the lavv of iustice.
32 Vvhy so? Because
-- --
not of faith, but as it vvere of vvorkes. for note they haue
stombled at the stone of stombling,
33 as it is vvritten, Behold
I put in Sion a stone of stombling, and a rocke of scandal: and vvhosoeuer beleeueth
in him, shal not be confounded. note
