Romans 9:7-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
7
nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: 'THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE NAMED.'
8
That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are 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 SARAH WILL HAVE A SON.'
10
And not only
that,
but there was also Rebekah, when she had conceived
twins
by one man, our father Isaac;
11
for though
the twins
were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to
His
choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls,
12
it was said to her, 'THE OLDER WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER.'
13
Just as it is written: 'JACOB I HAVE LOVED, BUT ESAU I HAVE HATED.'
14
What shall we say then? There is no injustice with God, is there? Far from it!
King James Version
Chapter 9
7
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8
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
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
10
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
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
7
Neither are all of Abraham’s children his descendants. On the contrary,
your offspring will be traced
through Isaac.
8
That is, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but the children of the promise are considered to be the offspring.
9
For this is the statement of the promise:
At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.
10
And not only that, but Rebekah conceived children through one man, our father Isaac.
11
For though her sons had not been born yet or done anything good or bad, so that God’s purpose according to election might stand—
12
not from works but from the one who calls—she was told,
The older will serve the younger.
13
As it is written:
I have loved Jacob, but I have hated Esau.
14
What should we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not!
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
7
Being descendants of Abraham doesn’t make them truly Abraham’s children. For the Scriptures say, 'Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted,' though Abraham had other children, too.
8
This means that Abraham’s physical descendants are not necessarily children of God. Only the children of the promise are considered to be Abraham’s children.
9
For God had promised, 'I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.'
10
This son was our ancestor Isaac. When he married Rebekah, she gave birth to twins.
11
But before they were born, before they had done anything good or bad, she received a message from God. (This message shows that God chooses people according to his own purposes;
12
he calls people, but not according to their good or bad works.) She was told, 'Your older son will serve your younger son.'
13
In the words of the Scriptures, 'I loved Jacob, but I rejected Esau.'
14
Are we saying, then, that God was unfair? Of course not!
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
7
and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named."
8
This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.
9
For this is what the promise said: "About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son."
10
And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,
11
though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad — in order that God 's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls —
12
she was told, "The older will serve the younger."
13
As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14
What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God 's part? By no means!
New International Version
Chapter 9
7
Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."
8
In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.
9
For this was how the promise was stated: "At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son."
10
Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.
11
Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad—in order that God’s purpose in election might stand:
12
not by works but by him who calls—she was told, "The older will serve the younger."
13
Just as it is written: "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."
14
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all!
New King James Version
Chapter 9
7
nor
are they
all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.”
8
That is, those who
are
the children of the flesh, these
are
not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
9
For this
is
the word of promise: “At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”
10
And not only
this,
but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man,
even
by our father Isaac
11
(for
the children
not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls),
12
it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.”
13
As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
14
What shall we say then?
Is there
unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!
