절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	God's Choice of Israel I am a follower of Christ, and the Holy Spirit is a witness to my conscience. So I tell the truth and I am not lying when I say	I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
2	my heart is broken and I am in great sorrow.	That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3	I would gladly be placed under God's curse and be separated from Christ for the good of my own people.	For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4	They are the descendants of Israel, and they are also God's chosen people. God showed them his glory. He made agreements with them and gave them his Law. The temple is theirs and so are the promises that God made to them.	Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5	They have those famous ancestors, who were also the ancestors of the Christ. I pray that God, who rules over all, will be praised forever! Amen.	Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6	It cannot be said that God broke his promise. After all, not all of the people of Israel are the true people of God.	Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7	—	Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8	In fact, when God made the promise to Abraham, he meant only Abraham's descendants by his son Isaac. God was talking only about Isaac when he promised	That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9	Sarah, “At this time next year I will return, and you will already have a son.”	For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10	Don't forget what happened to the twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah.	And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11	—	(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12	Even before they were born or had done anything good or bad, the Lord told Rebekah that her older son would serve the younger one. The Lord said this to show he makes his own choices and it wasn't because of anything either of them had done.	It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13	That's why the Scriptures say that the Lord liked Jacob more than Esau.	As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14	Are we saying God is unfair? Certainly not!	What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15	The Lord told Moses that he has pity and mercy on anyone he wants to.	For 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.
16	Everything then depends on God's mercy and not on what people want or do.	So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17	In the Scriptures the Lord says to the king of Egypt, “I let you become king, so that I could show you my power and be praised by all people on earth.”	For 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.
18	Everything depends on what God decides to do, and he can either have pity on people or make them stubborn.	Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19	God's Anger and Mercy Someone may ask, “How can God blame us, if he makes us behave in the way he wants us to?”	Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20	But, my friend, I ask, “Who do you think you are to question God? Does the clay have the right to ask the potter why he shaped it the way he did?	Nay 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?
21	Doesn't a potter have the right to make a fancy bowl and a plain bowl out of the same lump of clay?”	Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22	God wanted to show his anger and reveal his power against everyone who deserved to be destroyed. But instead, he patiently put up with them.	What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23	He did this by showing how glorious he is when he has pity on the people he has chosen to share in his glory.	And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24	Whether Jews or Gentiles, we are those chosen ones,	Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25	just as the Lord says in the book of Hosea, “Although they are not my people, I will make them my people. I will treat with love those nations that have never been loved.	As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26	“Once they were told, ‘You are not my people.’ But in that very place they will be called children of the living God.”	And 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.
27	And this is what the prophet Isaiah said about the people of Israel, “The people of Israel are as many as the grains of sand along the beach. But only a few who are left will be saved.	Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28	The Lord will be quick and sure to do on earth what he has warned he will do.”	For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29	Isaiah also said, “If the Lord All-Powerful had not spared some of our descendants, we would have been destroyed like the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.”	And 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.
30	Israel and the Good News What does all of this mean? It means that the Gentiles were not trying to be acceptable to God, but they found that he would accept them if they had faith.	What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31	—	But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32	It also means that the people of Israel were not acceptable to God. And why not? It was because they were trying to be acceptable by obeying the Law instead of by having faith in God. The people of Israel fell over the stone that makes people stumble,	Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33	just as God says in the Scriptures, “Look! I am placing in Zion a stone to make people stumble and fall. But those who have faith in that one will never be disappointed.”	As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
