6But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.

7Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”

8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as heirs.

14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!

16So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has mercy.

18So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.

20But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

21Or hasn’t the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

23and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory—

27Isaiah cries concerning Israel, “If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved;

30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.

32Why? Because they didn’t seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

33even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”
