羅馬書 9	Romans 9
羅馬書 9:1 ^ 我在基督裡說真話、並不謊言、有我良心被聖靈感動、給我作見證．	Romans 9:1 ^ I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit,
羅馬書 9:2 ^ 我是大有憂愁、心裡時常傷痛。	Romans 9:2 ^ that I have great sorrow and unceasing pain in my heart.
羅馬書 9:3 ^ 為我弟兄、我骨肉之親、就是自己被咒詛、與基督分離、我也願意。	Romans 9:3 ^ For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren's sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
羅馬書 9:4 ^ 他們是以色列人．那兒子的名分、榮耀、諸約、律法、禮儀、應許、都是他們的．	Romans 9:4 ^ who are Israelites; whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
羅馬書 9:5 ^ 列祖就是他們的祖宗、按肉體說、基督也是從他們出來的、他是在萬有之上、永遠可稱頌的　神。阿們。	Romans 9:5 ^ whose are the fathers, and of whom is Christ as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
羅馬書 9:6 ^ 這不是說　神的話落了空．因為從以色列生的、不都是以色列人．	Romans 9:6 ^ But [it is] not as though the word of God hath come to nought. For they are not all Israel, that are of Israel:
羅馬書 9:7 ^ 也不因為是亞伯拉罕的後裔、就都作他的兒女．惟獨『從以撒生的、纔要稱為你的後裔。』	Romans 9:7 ^ neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
羅馬書 9:8 ^ 這就是說、肉身所生的兒女、不是　神的兒女．惟獨那應許的兒女、纔算是後裔。	Romans 9:8 ^ That is, it is not the children of the flesh that are children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for a seed.
羅馬書 9:9 ^ 因為所應許的話是這樣說、『到明年這時候我要來、撒拉必生一個兒子。』	Romans 9:9 ^ For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
羅馬書 9:10 ^ 不但如此、還有利百加、既從一個人、就是從我們的祖宗以撒懷了孕．	Romans 9:10 ^ And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac--
羅馬書 9:11 ^ （雙子還沒有生下來、善惡還沒有作出來、只因要顯明　神揀選人的旨意、不在乎人的行為、乃在乎召人的主）	Romans 9:11 ^ for [the children] being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth,
羅馬書 9:12 ^ 　神就對利百加說、『將來大的要服事小的。』	Romans 9:12 ^ it was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
羅馬書 9:13 ^ 正如經上所記、『雅各是我所愛的、以掃是我所惡的。』	Romans 9:13 ^ Even as it is written, Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.
羅馬書 9:14 ^ 這樣、我們可說甚麼呢．難道　神有甚麼不公平麼．斷乎沒有。	Romans 9:14 ^ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
羅馬書 9:15 ^ 因他對摩西說、『我要憐憫誰、就憐憫誰、要恩待誰、就恩待誰。』	Romans 9:15 ^ For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
羅馬書 9:16 ^ 據此看來、這不在乎那定意的、也不在乎那奔跑的、只在乎發憐憫的　神。	Romans 9:16 ^ So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that hath mercy.
羅馬書 9:17 ^ 因為經上有話向法老說、『我將你興起來、特要在你身上彰顯我的權能、並要使我的名傳遍天下。』	Romans 9:17 ^ For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, For this very purpose did I raise thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be published abroad in all the earth.
羅馬書 9:18 ^ 如此看來、　神要憐憫誰、就憐憫誰、要叫誰剛硬、就叫誰剛硬。	Romans 9:18 ^ So then he hath mercy on whom he will, and whom he will be hardeneth.
羅馬書 9:19 ^ 這樣、你必對我說、他為甚麼還指責人呢．有誰抗拒他的旨意呢。	Romans 9:19 ^ Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?
羅馬書 9:20 ^ 你這個人哪、你是誰、竟敢向　神強嘴呢．受造之物豈能對造他的說、你為甚麼這樣造我呢。	Romans 9:20 ^ Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?
羅馬書 9:21 ^ ? 匠難道沒有權柄、從一團泥裡拿一塊作成貴重的器皿、又拿一塊作成卑賤的器皿麼。	Romans 9:21 ^ Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
羅馬書 9:22 ^ 倘若　神要顯明他的忿怒、彰顯他的權能、就多多忍耐寬容那可怒豫備遭毀滅的器皿．	Romans 9:22 ^ What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering vessels of wrath fitted unto destruction:
羅馬書 9:23 ^ 又要將他豐盛的榮耀、彰顯在那蒙憐憫早豫備得榮耀的器皿上．	Romans 9:23 ^ and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he afore prepared unto glory,
羅馬書 9:24 ^ 這器皿就是我們被　神所召的、不但是從猶太人中、也是從外邦人中、這有甚麼不可呢。	Romans 9:24 ^ [even] us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the Gentiles?
羅馬書 9:25 ^ 就像　神在何西阿書上說、『那本來不是我子民的、我要稱為我的子民．本來不是蒙愛的、我要稱為蒙愛的。	Romans 9:25 ^ As he saith also in Hosea, I will call that my people, which was not my people; And her beloved, that was not beloved.
羅馬書 9:26 ^ 從前在甚麼地方對他們說、你們不是我的子民、將來就在那裡稱他們為永生　神的兒子。』	Romans 9:26 ^ And it shall be, [that] in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, There shall they be called sons of the living God.
羅馬書 9:27 ^ 以賽亞指著以色列人喊著說、『以色列人雖多如海沙、得救的不過是剩下的餘數．	Romans 9:27 ^ And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
羅馬書 9:28 ^ 因為主要在世上施行他的話、叫他的話都成全、速速的完結。』	Romans 9:28 ^ for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
羅馬書 9:29 ^ 又如以賽亞先前說過、『若不是萬軍之主給我們存留餘種、我們早已像所多瑪、蛾摩拉的樣子了。』	Romans 9:29 ^ And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.
羅馬書 9:30 ^ 這樣、我們可說甚麼呢．那本來不追求義的外邦人、反得了義、就是因信而得的義．	Romans 9:30 ^ What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who followed not after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith:
羅馬書 9:31 ^ 但以色列人追求律法的義、反得不著律法的義。	Romans 9:31 ^ but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at [that] law.
羅馬書 9:32 ^ 這是甚麼緣故呢．是因為他們不憑著信心求、只憑著行為求．他們正跌在那絆腳石上．	Romans 9:32 ^ Wherefore? Because [they sought it] not by faith, but as it were by works. They stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
羅馬書 9:33 ^ 就如經上所記、『我在錫安放一塊絆腳的石頭、跌人的磐石．信靠他的人必不至於羞愧。』	Romans 9:33 ^ even as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame.
