Romans 9:1-9 ▼

1 I say ye trueth in Christ, I lye not, my conscience also bearyng me witnesse by the holy ghost,

2 That I haue great heauinesse, & continuall sorowe in my heart.

3 For I haue wisshed my selfe to be cursed from Christe, for my brethren, my kynsmen as pertaynyng to ye fleshe,

4 Which are the Israelites: To whom pertayneth the adoption, and the glory, & the couenauntes, and the lawe that was geuen, and the seruice of God, and the promises.

5 Of whom are the fathers, of whom as concernyng the fleshe, Christe came, which is God, in all thynges to be praysed for euer. Amen.

6 And it can not be, that the worde of God shoulde take none effect. For they are not all Israelites, which are of Israel:

7 Neither are they all chyldren that are the seede of Abraham: But in Isaac shall thy seede be called.

8 That is to say: They which are the chyldren of the fleshe, are not the chyldren of God: But they which be the childre of promise, are counted the seede.

9 For this is a worde of promise: About this tyme wyll I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne.
