52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Romans 9

1

Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,

2

that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart --

3

for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh,

4

who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the promises,

5

whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the ages. Amen.

6

And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel;

7

nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but -- `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;'

8

that is, the children of the flesh -- these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed;

9

for the word of promise [is] this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'

10

And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father --

11

(for they being not yet born, neither having done anything good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice, might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was said to her --

12

`The greater shall serve the less;'

13

according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and Esau I did hate.'

14

What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God? let it not be!

15

for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion;'

16

so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is running, but of God who is doing kindness:

17

for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and that My name might be declared in all the land;'

18

so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.

19

Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault? for His counsel who hath resisted?'

20

nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why me didst thou make thus?

21

hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?

22

And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath fitted for destruction,

23

and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us --

24

not only out of Jews, but also out of nations,

25

as also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what [is] not My people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved,

26

and it shall be -- in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the living God.'

27

And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, `If the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved;

28

for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do upon the land.

29

and according as Isaiah saith before, `Except the Lord of Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as Gomorrah we had been made like.'

30

What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness that [is] of faith,

31

and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

32

wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

33

according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

Romans 10

1

Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is -- for salvation;

2

for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge,

3

for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

4

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

5

for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, `The man who did them shall live in them,'

6

and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: `Thou mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,' that is, Christ to bring down?

7

or, `Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out of the dead to bring up.

8

But what doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach;

9

that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

10

for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness, and with the mouth is confession made to salvation;

11

for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him shall not be ashamed,'

12

for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him,

13

for every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved.'

14

How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching?

15

and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent? according as it hath been written, `How beautiful the feet of those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming good tidings of the good things!'

16

But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?'

17

so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through a saying of God,

18

but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed -- `to all the earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable world their sayings.'

19

But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, `I will provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation; by an unintelligent nation I will anger you,'

20

and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, `I was found by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after Me;'

21

and unto Israel He saith, `All the day I did stretch out My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.'
