Romanos 9:16-33
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
16 Igitur non volentis, neque currentis, sed miserentis est Dei.
17 Dicit enim Scriptura Pharaoni: Quia in hoc ipsum excitavi te, ut ostendam in te virtutem meam: et ut annuntietur nomen meum in universa terra.
18 Ergo cujus vult miseretur, et quem vult indurat.
19 Dicis itaque mihi: Quid adhuc queritur? voluntati enim ejus quis resistit?
20 O homo, tu quis es, qui respondeas Deo? numquid dicit figmentum ei qui se finxit: Quid me fecisti sic?
21 an non habet potestatem figulus luti ex eadem massa facere aliud quidem vas in honorem, aliud vero in contumeliam?
22 Quod si Deus volens ostendere iram, et notum facere potentiam suam, sustinuit in multa patientia vasa irae, apta in interitum,
23 ut ostenderet divitias gloriae suae in vasa misericordiae, quae praeparavit in gloriam.
24 Quos et vocavit nos non solum ex Judaeis, sed etiam in gentibus,
25 sicut in Osee dicit: Vocabo non plebem meam, plebem meam: et non dilectam, dilectam: et non misericordiam consecutam, misericordiam consecutam.
26 Et erit: in loco, ubi dictum est eis: Non plebs mea vos: ibi vocabuntur filii Dei vivi.
27 Isaias autem clamat pro Israel: Si fuerit numerus filiorum Israel tamquam arena maris, reliquiae salvae fient.
28 Verbum enim consummans, et abbrevians in aequitate: quia verbum breviatum faciet Dominus super terram:
29 et sicut praedixit Isaias: Nisi Dominus Sabaoth reliquisset nobis semen, sicut Sodoma facti essemus, et sicut Gomorrha similes fuissemus.
30 Quid ergo dicemus? Quod gentes, quae non sectabantur justitiam, apprehenderunt justitiam: justitiam autem, quae ex fide est.
31 Israel vero sectando legem justitiae, in legem justitiae non pervenit.
32 Quare? Quia non ex fide, sed quasi ex operibus: offenderunt enim in lapidem offensionis,
33 sicut scriptum est: Ecce pono in Sion lapidem offensionis, et petram scandali: et omnis qui credit in eum, non confundetur.

Romans 9:16-33
New International Version
Romans 9:16-33
New International Version
16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.(A) 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[a](B) 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.(C)
19 One of you will say to me:(D) “Then why does God still blame us?(E) For who is able to resist his will?”(F) 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(G) “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,(H) ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[b](I) 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?(J)
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience(K) the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?(L) 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory(M) known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory(N)— 24 even us, whom he also called,(O) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?(P) 25 As he says in Hosea:
“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[c](Q)
26 and,
“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”[d](R)
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:
“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,(S)
only the remnant will be saved.(T)
28 For the Lord will carry out
his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[e](U)
29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:
“Unless the Lord Almighty(V)
had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.”[f](W)
Israel’s Unbelief
30 What then shall we say?(X) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;(Y) 31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness,(Z) have not attained their goal.(AA) 32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.(AB) 33 As it is written:
