Romans 9:1-13

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 I am telling the truth in Christ--[I am] not lying; my conscience bears witness to me in the Holy Spirit--

2 that my grief is great and [there is] constant distress in my heart.

3 For I could wish myself to be accursed from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my fellow countrymen according to the flesh,

4 who are Israelites, [to] whom [belong] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the [temple] service, and the promises,

5 [to] whom [belong] the patriarchs, and from whom [is] the Christ according to human descent, who is God over all, blessed {forever}! Amen.

6 But [it is] not as if the word of God had failed. For not all those [who are descended] from Israel [are truly] Israel,

7 nor [are they] all children because they are descendants of Abraham, but "In Isaac will your descendants be named."

8 That is, [it is] not the children {by human descent} [who are] children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.

9 For the statement of the promise [is] this: "At this time I will return and {Sarah will have} a son."

10 And not only [this], but also [when] Rebecca conceived children by one [man], Isaac our father--

11 for [although they] had not yet been born, or done anything good or evil, in order that the purpose of God according to election might remain,

12 not by works but by the one who calls--it was said to her, "The older will serve the younger,"

13 just as it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

New International Version NIV

1 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit—

2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.

3 For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race,

4 the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.

5 Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.

6 It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”

8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.

9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.

11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:

12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”

13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
