God’s right to choose

Rom 9:1–18

9:1 God’s right to choose

9 I’m not lying—I’m speaking truthfully in Messiah, and both my conscience and the holy spirit agree 2 that my sorrow is extensive, and the sorrow in my heart just won’t stop, 3 because I was hoping that I myself would be a sacrifice from the messiah for my brothers and sisters, my fellow-citizens in this world. 4 They’re the descendants of Yisrael (Israel) who’ve been adopted as God’s children,[ref] and who God revealed his power to, as well as the agreements, the Law, the temple worship, and the promises. 5 The patriarchs are Jewish, and the messiah, who has authority over everything, physically came from them. May God be blessed throughout the ages. May it be so.

6 But it’s not that God’s message has failed. Yisrael doesn’t include all of Yisrael’s descendants, 7 nor are all of Avraham’s descendants his children, but, ‘It’s through Yitshak (Isaac) that your descendants will be counted.’[ref] 8 That isn’t talking about biological children—these are God’s children, but the children of the promise are being counted as descendants. 9 After all, this message is the promise: ‘I’ll come back, and Sarah will have a son.’[ref]

10 And not only that, but also Rivkah (Rebecca), from one pregnancy to our ancestor Yitshak, delivered twins. 11 Before they were born, and so before they could do anything good or bad, in order that God’s deliberate choice would stand 12 (not as a result of effort, but by God’s announcement), she was told, ‘The older child will serve the younger one.’[ref] 13 As it was written: ‘I loved Ya’akov (Jacob) but I hated Esav (Esau).’[ref]

14 So what should we say then? Is God unfair? Of course not, 15 because he said to Mosheh (Moses): ‘I’ll be merciful to whoever I want to, and I’ll have pity on anyone I want to.’[ref] 16 In other words, it doesn’t depend on the willingness or activities of the person, but on God’s mercy. 17 After all, in the scriptures, God says to the king of Mitsrayim (Egypt): ‘I chose you as king so that I can demonstrate my power through you, and so that my name will be talked about all over the world.’[ref] 18 In other words, God will be merciful to whoever he wants to, but he hardens whoever he wants to.

9 The_truth I_am_speaking in chosen_one/messiah, not I_am_lying, bearing_witness_with with_me of_the conscience of_me in the_spirit holy
2 that sorrow to_me is great, and unceasing sorrow in_the heart of_me.
3 For/Because I_was_hoping a_curse to_be myself, I from the chosen_one/messiah for the brothers of_me, the fellow-citizen of_me, according_to flesh,
4 who are ones_from_Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl), of_whose is the adoption_as_sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the sacred_service, and the promises,
5 of_whose are the fathers, and of whom is the chosen_one/messiah, which according_to flesh which being over all things god, blessed to the ages.
Truly.
6 Not but it_is such_as, that has_fallen_from the message of_ the _god.
For/Because not all the ones of Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl) these, Israaʸl/(Yisrāʼēl) are.
7 Nor because they_are seed of_Abraʼam/(ʼAⱱrāhām) all children, but:
In Isaʼak/(Yiʦḩāq) will_be_being_named to_you descendants.
8 This is not the children of_the flesh, these are children of_ the _god, but the children of_the promise is_being_counted for descendants.
9 For/Because of_the_promise the a_message this is:
Concerning the time this, I_will_be_coming, and there_will_be to_ the _Sarra/(Sārāh) a_son.
10 Not and only this, but also Ɽebekka/(Riⱱqāh) by one sexual_intercourse, having of_Isaʼak, the father of_us,
11 for/because not_yet having_been_born, nor having_done any good or bad, in_order_that the according_to choice purpose of_ the _god may_be_remaining,
12 not of works, but of the one calling, it_was_said to_her, that The greater will_be_serving for_the lessor.
13 As it_has_been_written:
- Yakōb/(Yaˊₐqoⱱ) I_loved, but the Aʸsau/(ˊĒsāv) I_hated.
14 Therefore what we_will_be_saying?
Not unrighteousness with the god is_there?
Never it_might_become.
15 The For/Because to_Mōsaʸs/(Mosheh) he_is_saying:
I_will_be_showing_mercy to_whom wishfully I_may_be_showing_mercy, and I_will_be_having_compassion to_whom wishfully I_may_be_having_compassion.
16 Therefore consequently not of_the one willing it_is, nor of_the one running, but which of_being_merciful god.
17 For/Because is_saying the scripture to_ the _Faraō/(Farˊoh), that For/Because same reason this I_raised_up you, so_that I_may_display in you the power of_me, and so_that may_be_proclaimed the name of_me in all the earth.
18 Therefore consequently to_whom he_is_wanting, he_is_showing_mercy, but whom he_is_wanting, he_is_hardening.
