The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

9:14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

9:15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

9:16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

9:17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

9:18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.

9:19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?

9:20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

9:21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

9:22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

Selected passage

9:23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

9:24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

9:25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.

9:26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

9:27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

9:28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.

9:29And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

9:30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

9:31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

9:32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

9:33As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
