Chapter 9
- I tell the truth in Christ, I am
not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy
Spirit, (2 Cor. 1:23)
- that I have great sorrow and
continual grief in my heart.
- For I could wish that I myself were
accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the
flesh, (Ex. 32:32)
- who are Israelites, to whom pertain
the adoption,
the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God,
and
the promises; (Ex. 4:22; 1 Sam. 4:21; John 4:22; Acts 3:25)

- So then it is not of him who wills,
nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
- For the Scripture says to Pharaoh,
“Even for this same purpose I have raised you up, that I might show
My power in you, and that My name might be declared
in all the earth.” (Ex. 9:10 ; Ps. 76:10)
- Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills,
and whom He wills He hardens. (Ex. 4:21)
-

-
- What if God, wanting to show His
wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the
vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, (1 Thess.
5:9; 1 Pet. 2:8)
- and that He might make known the
riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared
beforehand for glory, (Col. 1:27; Rom. 8:28-30)
- even us whom He called, not of the
Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? (Is. 65:1; Rom. 3:29;
Rom.
8:28)
- As He says also in Hosea:
"I will
call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was
not beloved." (Hos. 2:23)
