(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

1 I say the trueth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing mee witnesse in the holy Ghost,

2 That I haue great heauinesse, and continuall sorrow in my heart.

3 For I could wish that my selfe were accursed from Christ, for my brethren my kinsemen according to the flesh:

4 Who are Israelites: to whom perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the couenants, and the giuing of the Law, and the seruice of God, and the promises:

5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is ouer all, God blessed for euer, Amen.

6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel which are of Israel:

7 Neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

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.

9 For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.

10 And not onely this, but when Rebecca also had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac,

11 (For the children being not yet borne, neither hauing done any good or euil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of workes, but of him that calleth.)

12 It was said vnto her, The elder shall serue the yonger.

13 As it is written, Iacob haue I loued, but Esau haue I hated.

14 What shall we say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.

15 For hee saith to Moses, I will haue mercy on whom I wil haue mercie, and I will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.

16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

17 For the Scripture saith vnto Pharaoh, Euen for this same purpose haue I raised thee vp, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my Name might bee declared throughout all the earth.

18 Therefore hath hee mercie on whom hee will haue mercy, and whom he will, he hardeneth.

19 Thou wilt say then vnto mee; Why doeth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

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?

21 Hath not the potter power ouer the clay, of the same lumpe, to make one vessell vnto honour, and another vnto dishonour?

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, & to make his power knowen, indured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

23 And that he might make knowen the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which hee had afore prepared vnto glorie?

24 Euen vs whom hee hath called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles.

25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people: and her, beloued, which was not beloued.

26 And it shall come to passe, that in the place where it was saide vnto them, Ye are not my people, there shall they bee called the children of the liuing God.

27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shalbe saued.

28 For he will finish the worke, and cut it short in righteousnesse: because a short worke will the Lord make vpon the earth.

29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabboth had left vs a seed, we had bene as Sodoma, and bene made like vnto Gomorrha.

30 What shall wee say then? That the Gentiles which followed not after righteousnesse, haue attained to righteousnesse, euen the righteousnesse which is of faith:

31 But Israel which followed after the Law of righteousnesse, hath not attained to the Law of righteousnes.

32 Wherefore? because they sought it, not by faith, but as it were by the works of the Law: for they stumbled at that stumbling stone,

33 As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and rocke of offence: and whosoeuer beleeueth on him, shall not be ashamed.

CLIFFORD's Romans Chapter 9 comment about verse 16 on 3/06/2013, 7:02am...

From my own interpretation of what apostle Paul was saying here; success or whatever height one attains in life is not by the effort one makes, but by God’s mercy. It goes to prove that though everyone is created by God, but not everyone is on his mercy list. It also contrasts Solomon’s personal view; in his conclusion in the book of Ecclesiastes 9:11 (talking about time and chance). This implies that man’s willingness or effort without God is baseless.

 


Darryl Robertson's Romans Chapter 9 comment about verse 1 on 12/29/2012, 1:57pm...

Elohim does not talk about any nation but the seed of Jacob who the Israelites; only the 12 sons of to whom pertained everything not Esau. Nor Greeks nor the Jews which is no such thing as Jews it was Judah. He said he hated Esau and his descendents. Look up, what is Esau nationality of today and who are the 12 son of Jacob and what is their nationality of today in 2012? The Israelites are the Father’s elect and chosen ones and I am glad I got my identity back. I am Judah a Israelite that’s the word of the Holy Spirit and My Elohim of Love.

 


Randolph Vance JR's Romans Chapter 9 comment on 12/14/2012, 3:29pm...

We can never be good enough in and of ourselves to make it, but praise the Lord for sending Jesus to take our place and pay a price that we could never pay. That is the real message of this holiday season. Jesus came and died for our sins and was raised from the dead that we might experience newness of life through His victory over sin and death. Look at salvation like a Christmas present handed to every person in the world. It belongs to all, but only those of us who open the present and receive it for ourselves will benefit from what He did for us.

 


Tina's Romans Chapter 9 comment about verse 2 on 11/14/2012, 9:39am...

I think what Paul is saying is that he has great sorrow for the people that are not saved. He has great love for them and does NOT want them to go to hell. He loves them so much and wants them to believe in Christ.

 


Nevermore Mazongo's Romans Chapter 9 comment on 4/08/2012, 7:37am...

Our Father,Creator of everything that ever was, that is , and that ever will be. Thanks and praises be to you, through our Lord Jesus Christ.Amen!

Chapter9 has a very important message to humanity.

1.We should never declare ourselves righteous before God by justifying our works in the law of righteousness.We all fall short of the Glory of God and we should accept the fact that we are all sinners and should therefore:

2. Seek to attain righteousness through Faith in God, through Jesus Christ and not through our WORKS in righteousness.

 


Alan J. Baldwin's Romans Chapter 9 comment about verse 21 on 3/18/2012, 5:35pm...

I am a potter. And, as such, I am imitative of God.

 


Susan Dalton's Romans Chapter 9 comment on 9/26/2011, 10:57pm...

"What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, [nations other than Israel] which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed." (Romans 9:30-33) "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. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:12-13) The gospel of Jesus Christ is for all people, all nations; the only exclusion comes from unbelief. "Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercies; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him all ye people. And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust." (Romans 15:8-12) Jesus came to save all. "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to do whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20)Also, Jesus said, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (Mark 16:15-17) The gospel of Jesus Christ (salvation) is for every nation, and is for every person; it is for all. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,
