- I speak the truth in Christ--I am not lying, my conscience confirms it in the Holy Spirit--
- I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
- For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race,
- the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises.
- Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.
|
- I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
- That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
- For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
- 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;
- Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
|
- It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
- 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."
- In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.
- For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son."
- Not only that, but Rebekah's children had one and the same father, our father Isaac.
|
- Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
- Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
- 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.
- For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
- And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
|
- Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad--in order that God's purpose in election might stand:
- not by works but by him who calls--she was told, "The older will serve the younger."
- Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
|
- (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;)
- It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
- As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
