A Soberania de Deus
9 Digo a verdade em Cristo, não minto; minha consciência o confirma no Espírito Santo: 2 tenho grande tristeza e constante angústia em meu coração. 3 Pois eu até desejaria ser amaldiçoado e separado de Cristo por amor de meus irmãos, os de minha raça, 4 o povo de Israel. Deles é a adoção de filhos; deles é a glória divina, as alianças, a concessão da Lei, a adoração no templo e as promessas. 5 Deles são os patriarcas, e a partir deles se traça a linhagem humana de Cristo, que é Deus acima de todos, bendito para sempre![a] Amém.
6 Não pensemos que a palavra de Deus falhou. Pois nem todos os descendentes de Israel são Israel. 7 Nem por serem descendentes de Abraão passaram todos a ser filhos de Abraão. Ao contrário: “Por meio de Isaque a sua descendência será considerada”[b]. 8 Noutras palavras, não são os filhos naturais[c] que são filhos de Deus, mas os filhos da promessa é que são considerados descendência de Abraão. 9 Pois foi assim que a promessa foi feita: “No tempo devido virei novamente, e Sara terá um filho”[d].
10 E esse não foi o único caso; também os filhos de Rebeca tiveram um mesmo pai, nosso pai Isaque. 11 Todavia, antes que os gêmeos nascessem ou fizessem qualquer coisa boa ou má — a fim de que o propósito de Deus conforme a eleição permanecesse, 12 não por obras, mas por aquele que chama — foi dito a ela: “O mais velho servirá ao mais novo”[e]. 13 Como está escrito: “Amei Jacó, mas rejeitei Esaú”[f].
14 E então, que diremos? Acaso Deus é injusto? De maneira nenhuma! 15 Pois ele diz a Moisés:
“Terei misericórdia de quem
eu quiser ter misericórdia
e terei compaixão de quem
eu quiser ter compaixão”[g].
16 Portanto, isso não depende do desejo ou do esforço humano, mas da misericórdia de Deus. 17 Pois a Escritura diz ao faraó: “Eu o levantei exatamente com este propósito: mostrar em você o meu poder, e para que o meu nome seja proclamado em toda a terra”[h]. 18 Portanto, Deus tem misericórdia de quem ele quer, e endurece a quem ele quer.
19 Mas algum de vocês me dirá: “Então, por que Deus ainda nos culpa? Pois, quem resiste à sua vontade?” 20 Mas quem é você, ó homem, para questionar a Deus? “Acaso aquilo que é formado pode dizer ao que o formou: ‘Por que me fizeste assim?’[i]” 21 O oleiro não tem direito de fazer do mesmo barro um vaso para fins nobres e outro para uso desonroso?
22 E se Deus, querendo mostrar a sua ira e tornar conhecido o seu poder, suportou com grande paciência os vasos de sua ira, preparados[j] para a destruição? 23 Que dizer, se ele fez isto para tornar conhecidas as riquezas de sua glória aos vasos de sua misericórdia, que preparou de antemão para glória, 24 ou seja, a nós, a quem também chamou, não apenas dentre os judeus, mas também dentre os gentios? 25 Como ele diz em Oséias:
“Chamarei ‘meu povo’
a quem não é meu povo;
e chamarei ‘minha amada’
a quem não é minha amada”[k],
26 e:
“Acontecerá que, no mesmo
lugar em que se lhes declarou:
‘Vocês não são meu povo’,
eles serão chamados
‘filhos do Deus vivo’”[l].
27 Isaías exclama com relação a Israel:
“Embora o número
dos israelitas
seja como a areia do mar,
apenas o remanescente
será salvo.
28 Pois o Senhor executará
na terra a sua sentença,
rápida e definitivamente”[m].
29 Como anteriormente disse Isaías:
“Se o Senhor dos Exércitos
não nos tivesse deixado descendentes,
já estaríamos como Sodoma,
e semelhantes a Gomorra”[n].
A Incredulidade de Israel
30 Que diremos, então? Os gentios, que não buscavam justiça, a obtiveram, uma justiça que vem da fé; 31 mas Israel, que buscava uma lei que trouxesse justiça, não a alcançou. 32 Por que não? Porque não a buscava pela fé, mas como se fosse por obras. Eles tropeçaram na “pedra de tropeço”. 33 Como está escrito:
“Eis que ponho em Sião
uma pedra de tropeço
e uma rocha que faz cair;
e aquele que nela confia
jamais será envergonhado”[o].

9 Jag talar sanning i Kristus, jag ljuger icke -- därom bär mitt samvete mig vittnesbörd i den helige Ande --
2 när jag säger att jag har stor bedrövelse och oavlåtligt kval i mitt hjärta.
3 Ja, jag skulle önska att jag själv vore förbannad och bortkastad från Kristus, om detta kunde gagna mina bröder, mina fränder efter köttet.
4 De äro ju israeliter, dem tillhöra barnaskapet och härligheten och förbunden och lagstiftningen och tempeltjänsten och löftena.
5 Dem tillhöra ock fäderna, och från dem är Kristus kommen efter köttet, han som är över allting, Gud, högtlovad i evighet, amen.
6 Detta säger jag icke som om Guds löftesord skulle hava blivit om intet. Ty »Israel», det är icke detsamma som alla de som härstamma från Israel.
7 Ej heller äro de alla »barn», därför att de äro Abrahams säd. Nej, det heter: »Genom Isak är det som säd skall uppkallas efter dig.»
8 Detta vill säga: Icke de äro Guds barn, som äro barn efter köttet, men de som äro barn efter löftet, de räknas för säd.
9 Ty ett löftesord var det ordet: »Vid denna tid skall jag komma tillbaka, och då skall Sara hava en son.»
10 Än mer: så skedde ock, när Rebecka genom en och samme man, nämligen vår fader Isak, blev moder till sina barn.
11 Ty förrän dessa voro födda, och innan de ännu hade gjort vare sig gott eller ont, blev det ordet henne sagt -- för att Guds utkorelse-rådslut skulle bliva beståndande, varvid det icke skulle bero på någons gärningar, utan på honom som kallar --
12 det ordet: »Den äldre skall tjäna den yngre.»
13 Så är ock skrivet: »Jakob älskade jag, men Esau hatade jag.»
14 Vad skola vi då säga? Kan väl orättfärdighet finnas hos Gud? Bort det!
15 Han säger ju till Moses: »Jag skall vara barmhärtig mot den jag vill vara barmhärtig emot, och jag skall förbarma mig över den jag vill förbarma mig över.»
16 Alltså beror det icke på någon människas vilja eller strävan, utan på Guds barmhärtighet.
17 Ty skriften säger till Farao: »Just därtill har jag låtit dig uppstå, att jag skall visa min makt på dig, och att mitt namn skall varda förkunnat på hela jorden.»
18 Alltså är han barmhärtig mot vem han vill, och vem han vill förhärdar han.
19 Nu torde du säga till mig: »Vad har han då att förebrå oss? Kan väl någon stå emot hans vilja?»
20 O människa, vem är då du, som vill träta med Gud? Icke skall verket säga till sin mästare: »Varför gjorde du mig så?»
21 Har icke krukmakaren den makten över leret, att han av samma lerklump kan göra ett kärl till hedersamt bruk, ett annat till mindre hedersamt?
22 Men om nu Gud, när han ville visa sin vrede och uppenbara sin makt, likväl i stor långmodighet hade fördrag med »vredens kärl», som voro färdiga till fördärv, vad har du då att säga?
23 Och om han gjorde detta för att tillika få uppenbara sin härlighets rikedom på »barmhärtighetens kärl», som han förut hade berett till härlighet?
24 Och till att vara sådana har han ock kallat oss, icke allenast dem som äro av judisk börd, utan jämväl dem som äro av hednisk.
25 Så säger han ock hos Oseas: »Det folk som icke var mitt folk, det skall jag kalla 'mitt folk', och henne som jag icke älskade skall jag kalla 'min älskade'.
26 Och det skall ske att på den ort där det sades till dem: 'I ären icke mitt folk', där skola de kallas 'den levande Gudens barn'.»
27 Men Esaias utropar om Israel: »Om än Israels barn vore till antalet såsom sanden i havet, så skall dock allenast en kvarleva bliva frälst.
28 Ty dom skall Herren hålla på jorden, en slutdom, som avgör saken med hast.»
29 Och det är såsom redan Esaias har sagt: »Om Herren Sebaot icke hade lämnat en avkomma kvar åt oss, då vore vi såsom Sodom, vi vore Gomorra lika.»
30 Vad skola vi då säga? Jo, att hedningarna, som icke foro efter rättfärdighet, hava vunnit rättfärdighet, nämligen den rättfärdighet som kommer av tro,
31 under det att Israel, som for efter en rättfärdighetslag, icke har kommit till någon sådan lag.
32 Varför? Därför att de icke sökte den på trons väg, utan såsom något som skulle vinnas på gärningarnas väg. De stötte sig mot stötestenen,
33 såsom det är skrivet: »Se, jag lägger i Sion en stötesten och en klippa som skall bliva dem till fall; men den som tror på den skall icke komma på skam.»

Israel’s Rejection of Christ
9 I (A)tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 (B)that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3 For (C)I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my [a]countrymen according to the flesh, 4 who are Israelites, (D)to whom pertain the adoption, (E)the glory, (F)the covenants, (G)the giving of the law, (H)the service of God, and (I)the promises; 5 (J)of whom are the fathers and from (K)whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, (L)who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose(M)
6 (N)But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For (O)they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 (P)nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, (Q)“In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but (R)the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: (S)“At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”
10 And not only this, but when (T)Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of (U)Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, (V)“The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, (W)“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Justice
14 What shall we say then? (X)Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, (Y)“I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For (Z)the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, (AA)“For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He (AB)hardens.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For (AC)who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? (AD)Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the (AE)potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make (AF)one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering (AG)the vessels of wrath (AH)prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known (AI)the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had (AJ)prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He (AK)called, (AL)not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25 As He says also in Hosea:
(AM)“I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved.”
26 “And(AN) it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
‘You are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.”
27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel:
(AO)“Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
(AP)The remnant will be saved.
28 For [b]He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
(AQ)Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.”
29 And as Isaiah said before:
(AR)“Unless the Lord of [c]Sabaoth had left us a seed,
(AS)We would have become like Sodom,
And we would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Present Condition of Israel
30 What shall we say then? (AT)That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, (AU)even the righteousness of faith; 31 but Israel, (AV)pursuing the law of righteousness, (AW)has not attained to the law [d]of righteousness. 32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, [e]by the works of the law. For (AX)they stumbled at that stumbling stone. 33 As it is written:
(AY)“Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And (AZ)whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

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,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”[f](AE)
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(AF) 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g](AG) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(AH)
19 One of you will say to me:(AI) “Then why does God still blame us?(AJ) For who is able to resist his will?”(AK) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(AL) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(AM) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h](AN) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(AO)
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(AP) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(AQ) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(AR) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(AS)— 24 even us, whom he also called,(AT) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?(AU) 25 As he says in Hosea:
“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[i](AV)
26 and,
“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”[j](AW)
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:
“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,(AX)
only the remnant will be saved.(AY)
28 For the Lord will carry out
his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[k](AZ)
29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:
“Unless the Lord Almighty(BA)
had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.”[l](BB)
Israel’s Unbelief
30 What then shall we say?(BC) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;(BD) 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness,(BE) have not attained their goal.(BF) 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(BG) 33 As it is written:
