Romanos 9:1-15
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
9 Veritatem dico in Christo, non mentior: testimonium mihi perhibente conscientia mea in Spiritu Sancto:
2 quoniam tristitia mihi magna est, et continuus dolor cordi meo.
3 Optabam enim ego ipse anathema esse a Christo pro fratribus meis, qui sunt cognati mei secundum carnem,
4 qui sunt Israelitae, quorum adoptio est filiorum, et gloria, et testamentum, et legislatio, et obsequium, et promissa:
5 quorum patres, et ex quibus est Christus secundum carnem, qui est super omnia Deus benedictus in saecula. Amen.
6 Non autem quod exciderit verbum Dei. Non enim omnes qui ex Israel sunt, ii sunt Israelitae:
7 neque qui semen sunt Abrahae, omnes filii: sed in Isaac vocabitur tibi semen:
8 id est, non qui filii carnis, hi filii Dei: sed qui filii sunt promissionis, aestimantur in semine.
9 Promissionis enim verbum hoc est: Secundum hoc tempus veniam: et erit Sarae filius.
10 Non solum autem illa: sed et Rebecca ex uno concubitu habens, Isaac patris nostri.
11 Cum enim nondum nati fuissent, aut aliquid boni egissent, aut mali (ut secundum electionem propositum Dei maneret),
12 non ex operibus, sed ex vocante dictum est ei quia major serviet minori,
13 sicut scriptum est: Jacob dilexi, Esau autem odio habui.
14 Quid ergo dicemus? numquid iniquitas apud Deum? Absit.
15 Moysi enim dicit: Miserebor cujus misereor: et misericordiam praestabo cujus miserebor.

Paul’s Anguish Over Israel
9 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying,(A) my conscience confirms(B) it through the Holy Spirit— 2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself(C) were cursed(D) and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people,(E) those of my own race,(F) 4 the people of Israel.(G) Theirs is the adoption to sonship;(H) theirs the divine glory,(I) the covenants,(J) the receiving of the law,(K) the temple worship(L) and the promises.(M) 5 Theirs are the patriarchs,(N) and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah,(O) who is God over all,(P) forever praised Amen.
God’s Sovereign Choice
6 It is not as though God’s word(R) had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.(S) 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.”[b](T) 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(U) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(V) 9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[c](W)
10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.(X) 11 Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad(Y)—in order that God’s purpose(Z) in election might stand: 12 not by works but by him who calls—she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”[d](AA) 13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”[e](AB)
14 What then shall we say?(AC) Is God unjust? Not at all!(AD) 15 For he says to Moses,
