CHAPTER 9
Romans 9:1
1 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness
in the Holy  Ghost,
Romans 9:2
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. Romans 9:3
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my
kinsmen  according to the flesh:
Romans 9:4
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;
Romans 9:5
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who
is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 9:6
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all
Israel, which are of Israel:
Romans 9:7
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In
Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Romans 9:8
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. Romans 9:9
9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall
have a son.
Romans 9:10
10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our
father Isaac;
Romans 9:11
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;)
Romans 9:12
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. Romans 9:13
13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Romans 9:14
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Romans 9:15
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. Romans 9:16
16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God
that sheweth mercy.
Romans 9:17
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. Romans 9:18
18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he
hardeneth.
Romans 9:19
19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath
resisted his will?
Romans 9:20
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? Romans 9:21
21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel
unto  honour, and another unto dishonour? Romans 9:22
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: Romans 9:23
23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of
mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Romans 9:24
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the
Gentiles?
Romans 9:25
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. Romans 9:26
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.
Romans 9:27
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: Romans 9:28
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a
short work will the Lord make upon the earth. Romans 9:29
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. Romans 9:30
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.
Romans 9:31
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained
to the law of righteousness. Romans 9:32
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; Romans 9:33
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. CHAPTER 10
Romans 10:1
1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might
be saved.
Romans 10:2
2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to
knowledge.
Romans 10:3
3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish
their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness 
of God.
Romans 10:4
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth.
Romans 10:5
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man
which doeth those things shall live by  them. Romans 10:6
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in
thine heart, Who shall ascend  into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from
above:)
Romans 10:7
7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from
the dead.)
Romans 10:8
8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy
heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Romans 10:9
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe
in thine heart  that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:10
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Romans 10:11
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans 10:12
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord
over all is rich  unto all that call upon him. Romans 10:13
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans
10:14
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how
shall they believe in him of whom they have  not heard? and how shall they hear
without a preacher?
Romans 10:15
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings  of good things!
Romans 10:16
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath
believed our  report?
Romans 10:17
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans
10:18
18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the
earth, and  their words unto the ends of the world. Romans 10:19
19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to
jealousy  by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Romans 10:20
20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not;
I was made manifest unto them that asked not  after me. Romans 10:21
21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a
disobedient and gainsaying  people. CHAPTER 11
Romans 11:1
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an
Israelite,  of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Romans 11:2
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the
scripture saith  of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel,
saying,
Romans 11:3
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am
left alone, and they seek  my life. Romans 11:4
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven
thousand men, who have not bowed  the knee to the image of Baal. Romans 11:5
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the
election of grace.
Romans 11:6
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more
grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no
more work.
Romans 11:7
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the
election hath obtained it, and  the rest were blinded Romans 11:8
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes
that they should not see, and ears  that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Romans 11:9
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a
stumblingblock, and  a recompence unto them: Romans 11:10
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back
alway.
Romans 11:11
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather
through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to
jealousy.
Romans 11:12
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of
them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? Romans 11:13
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I
magnify mine office:
Romans 11:14
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and
might save some of them.
Romans 11:15
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall
the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? Romans 11:16
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be
holy, so are the branches.
Romans 11:17
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive
tree, wert graffed in among them, and with  them partakest of the root and
fatness of the olive tree;
Romans 11:18
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the
root, but the root  thee.
Romans 11:19
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed
in.
Romans 11:20
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith.
Be not highminded, but fear: Romans 11:21
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not
thee.
Romans 11:22
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell,
severity; but toward thee, goodness,  if thou continue in his goodness:
otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Romans 11:23
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for
God is able to graff  them in again. Romans 11:24
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert
graffed contrary to nature into  a good olive tree: how much more shall these,
which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? Romans
11:25
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest
ye should be wise in your own conceits;  that blindness in part is happened to
Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Romans 11:26
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of
Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away  ungodliness from Jacob: Romans 11:27
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. Romans
11:28
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching
the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. Romans 11:29
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Romans 11:30
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy
through their unbelief:
Romans 11:31
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also
may obtain mercy.
Romans 11:32
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon
all.
Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how
unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Romans 11:34
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Romans 11:35
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Romans 11:36
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory
for ever. Amen.
