English Standard Version
God's Sovereign Choice
9 (A)I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For (B)I could wish that I myself were (C)accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers,[a] my kinsmen (D)according to the flesh. 4 They are (E)Israelites, and to them belong (F)the adoption, (G)the glory, (H)the covenants, (I)the giving of the law, (J)the worship, and (K)the promises. 5 To them belong (L)the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, (M)who is God over all, (N)blessed forever. Amen.
6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham (O)because they are his offspring, but (P)“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but (Q)the children of the promise are counted as offspring. 9 For this is what the promise said: (R)“About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but (S)also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of (T)him who calls—

Isaiah 5:5-7
English Standard Version
5 And now I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove (A)its hedge,
and it shall be devoured;[a]
(B)I will break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.
6 I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and (C)briers and thorns shall grow up;
(D)I will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.
7 (E)For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts
is the house of Israel,
and the men of Judah
are his pleasant planting;
and he looked for justice,
but behold, bloodshed;[b]
for righteousness,
but behold, an outcry![c]

9 and in order (A)that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,
(B)“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles
14 (I)I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers,[a] that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with (J)all knowledge and able to instruct one another. 15 But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, (K)because of the grace given me by God 16 to be (L)a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles (M)in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that (N)the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit. 17 In Christ Jesus, then, I have (O)reason to be proud of (P)my work for God. 18 For I will not venture to speak of anything except (Q)what Christ has accomplished through me (R)to bring the Gentiles to obedience—by word and deed,

46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, “It was necessary that the word of God (A)be spoken first to you. (B)Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves (C)unworthy of eternal life, behold, we (D)are turning to the Gentiles. 47 (E)For so the Lord has commanded us, saying,
(F)“‘I have made you (G)a light for the Gentiles,
that you may (H)bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and (I)glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
