  "1": "I tell the truth in Christ. I do not lie, and my conscience bears witness with me in the Holy Spirit,",
  "2": "that for me there is great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "3": "For I could wish that I myself would be cursed and set apart from Christ for the sake of my brothers, those of my own race according to the flesh.",
  "4": "They are Israelites. They have the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the gift of the law, and the worship of God, and the promises.",
  "5": "Theirs are the ancestors from whom also Christ has come with respect to the flesh—he who is God over all. May he be praised forever. Amen.\n\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "6": "But it is not as though the promises of God have failed. For it is not everyone who is from Israel who truly belongs to Israel.",
  "7": "Neither are all Abraham’s descendants truly his children. But, “It is through Isaac that your descendants will be called.”\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "8": "That is, the children of the flesh are not the children of God. But the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.",
  "9": "For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come, and a son will be given to Sarah.”\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "10": "Not only this, but after Rebekah also had conceived by one man, our father Isaac—",
  "11": "for the children were not yet born and had not yet done anything good or bad, so that the purpose of God according to his choice might stand,",
  "12": "not because of actions, but because of him who calls—it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger.”",
  "13": "It is just as had been written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”\n\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "14": "What then will we say? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be.",
  "15": "For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”",
  "16": "So then, it is not of him who wills, nor because of him who runs, but of God, who shows mercy.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "17": "For the scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I raised you up, so that I might demonstrate my power in you, and so that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”",
  "18": "So then, God has mercy on whom he wishes, but whom he wishes, he makes stubborn.\n\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "19": "You will say then to me, “Why then does he still find fault? For who has ever withstood his will?”",
  "20": "On the contrary, man, who are you who answers against God? Will what has been molded say to the one who molds it, “Why did you make me this way?”",
  "21": "Does the potter not have the right over the clay to make from the same lump a container for special use, and another container for daily use?\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "22": "But what if God, who is willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience containers of wrath prepared for destruction?",
  "23": "What if he did this in order that he might make known the riches of his glory upon containers of mercy, which he had previously prepared for glory?",
  "24": "And what if he did this for us, whom he also called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "25": "As he says also in Hosea:\n\\q\n“I will call my people who were not my people,\n\\q\nand her beloved who was not beloved.\n\\q",
  "26": "Then it will be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’\n\\q\nthere they will be called’sons of the living God.’”\n\n\\ts\\*\n\\m",
  "27": "But Isaiah cries out concerning Israel,\n\\q\n“Though the number of the sons of Israel were as the sand of the sea,\n\\q\nit will be a remnant that will be saved,\n\\q",
  "28": "for the Lord will carry out his sentence on the earth,\n\\q\ncompletely and without delay.”\n\\q",
  "29": "As Isaiah had said previously,\n\\q\n“If the Lord of hosts had not left us descendants,\n\\q\nwe would be like Sodom,\n\\q\nand we would have become like Gomorrah.”\n\n\\ts\\*\n\\p",
  "30": "What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who were not pursuing righteousness, obtained righteousness, but righteousness that is by faith.",
  "31": "But Israel, who did pursue a law of righteousness, did not attain it through the law.\n\n\\ts\\*",
  "32": "Why not? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but by works. They stumbled over the stone of stumbling,",
  "33": "as it has been written,\n\\q\n“Look, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.\n\\q\nHe who believes in it will not be ashamed.”\n\n\\ts\\*",
