God

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods chosen? it is God that iustifieth,

Who shall condemne? it is Christ which is dead, yea, or rather, which is risen againe, who is also at the right hand of God, and maketh request also for vs.

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesus our Lord.

Which are the Israelites, to whome perteineth the adoption, and the glory, and the Couenants, and the giuing of the Lawe, and the seruice of God, and the promises.

Of whome are the fathers, and of whome concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is God ouer all, blessed for euer, Amen.

Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:

That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.

For yer the children were borne, and when they had neither done good, nor euill (that the purpose of God might remaine according to election, not by workes, but by him that calleth)

As it is written, I haue loued Iacob, and haue hated Esau.

What shall wee say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.

For he saith to Moses, I wil haue mercy on him, to whom I wil shew mercie: and wil haue compassion on him, on who I wil haue copassion.

So then it is not in him that willeth, nor in him that runneth, but in God that sheweth mercy.

For the Scripture saith vnto Pharao, For this same purpose haue I stirred thee vp, that I might shewe my power in thee, and that my Name might be declared throughout al the earth.

Therefore he hath mercie on whome he will, and whom he will, he hardeneth.

But, O man, who art thou which pleadest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

What and if God would, to shewe his wrath, and to make his power knowen, suffer with long patience the vessels of wrath, prepared to destruction?

And that hee might declare the riches of his glory vpon the vessels of mercy, which hee hath prepared vnto glory?

Euen vs whome hee hath called, not of of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles,

As he sayth also in Osee, I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloued, which was not beloued.

And it shalbe in the place where it was said vnto them, Ye are not my people, that there they shalbe called, The children of the liuing God.

For he wil make his account, and gather it into a short summe with righteousnes: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.

As it is written, Beholde, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone, and a rocke to make men fall: and euery one that beleeueth in him, shall not be ashamed.

Brethren, mine hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saued.

For I beare them record, that they haue the zeale of God, but not according to knowledge.

For they, being ignorant of the righteousnes of God, and going about to stablish their owne righteousnes, haue not submitted themselues to the righteousnes of God.
