Romans 9:6-16

DBY

NIV

6 Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel;
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 seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
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 That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.
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 word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.
11 [the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),
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 it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:
12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
13 according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.
13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.
14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
15 For he says to Moses, I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion.
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 is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews mercy.
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
