| 19 | You will say, 'Then why does God blame a man? For who can resist his will?' | God's Wrath and Mercy Ro.9.19-29 | Ἐρεῖς μοι οὖν, Τί οὖν ἐτι μέμφεταὶ τῷ γὰρ βουλήματι αὐτοῦ τίς ἀνθέστηκεν; |
| 20 | Who are you, sir, to answer God back? Can the pot speak to the potter and say, 'Why did you make me like this?'? | - Will what is molded say to its molder Ro.9.20 | Is.29.16 | Is.45.9 | ὦ ἄνθρωπε, μενοῦνγε σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ ἀνταποκρινόμενος τῷ θεῷ; μὴ ἐρεῖ τὸ πλάσμα τῷ πλάσαντι, Τί με ἐποίησας οὑτως; |
| 21 | Surely the potter can do what he likes with the clay. Is he not free to make out of the same lump two vessels, one to be treasured, the other for common use? | - Has the potter no right over the clay Ro.9.21 | Jr.18.6 | ἢ οὐκ ἐχει ἐξουσίαν ὁ κεραμεὺς τοῦ πηλοῦ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ φυράματος ποιῆσαι ὃ μὲν εἰς τιμὴν σκεῦος, ὃ δὲ εἰς ἀτιμίαν; |
| 22 | But what if God, desiring to exhibit Or: although he had the will to exhibit ... his retribution at work and to make his power known, tolerated very patiently those vessels which were objects of retribution due for destruction, | εἰ δὲ θέλων ὁ θεὸς ἐνδείξασθαι τὴν ὀργὴν καὶ γνωρίσαι τὸ δυνατὸν αὐτοῦ ἠνεγκεν ἐν πολλῇ μακροθυμίᾳ σκεύη ὀργῆς κατηρτισμένα εἰς ἀπώλειαν, | |
| 23 | and did so in order to make known the full wealth of his splendour upon vessels which were objects of mercy, and which from the first had been prepared for this splendour? | καὶ ἵνα γνωρίσῃ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ σκεύη ἐλέους, ἂ προητοίμασεν εἰς δόξαν, | |
| 24 | Such vessels are we, whom he has called from among Gentiles as well as Jews, | οὓς καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς οὐ μόνον ἐξ Ἰουδαίων ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐξ ἐθνῶν; | |
| 25 | as it says in the Book of Hosea: 'Those who were not my people I will call My People, and the unloved nation I will call My Beloved. | - Those who were not my people Ro.9.25 | Hs.2.23 | ὡς καὶ ἐν τῷ Ὡσηὲ λέγει, Kαλέσω τὸν οὐ λαόν μου |
| 26 | For in the very place where they were told "you are no people of mine", they shall be called Sons of the living God.' | - You are not my people Ro.9.26 | Hs.1.10 | καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῷ τόπῳ οὗ ἐρρέθη αὐτοῖς, Οὐ λαός μου ὑμεῖς, ἐκεῖ κληθήσονται υἱοὶ θεοῦ ζῶντος. |
| 27 | But Isaiah makes this proclamation about Israel: 'Though the Israelites be countless as the sands of the sea, only a remnant that shall be saved; | - only a remnant of them will be saved Ro.9.27-28 | Is.10.22-23 | Ἠσαΐας δὲ κράζει ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, Ἐὰν ᾖ ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ὡς ἡ ἄμμος τῆς θαλάσσης, τὸ ὑπόλειμμα σωθήσεται· |
| 28 | for the Lord's sentence on the land will be summary and final'; | λόγον γὰρ συντελῶν καὶ συντέμνων ποιήσει κύριος ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. | |
| 29 | as also he said previously, 'If the Lord of Hosts had not left us the mere germ of a nation, we should have become like Sodom, and no better than Gomorrah.' | - If the Lord of hosts had not left us children Ro.9.29 | Is.1.9 | καὶ καθὼς προείρηκεν Ἠσαΐας,
