But in these we all are victorious by the hand of him who hath loved us.

but that is, the children of the flesh are not the children of Aloha, but the children of the promise are reckoned the seed.

And not this only, but also Raphka when with one, our father Ishok, she had association,

before her sons were born, and had not wrought good or evil, the (choice) of Aloha was (made) known before that it should remain: not by works, but by him who called:

Therefore it is not by him who willeth, nor by him who runneth, but by Aloha the Merciful.

BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction,

who are we, (ourselves) the called, not only of the Jihudoyee, but also of the Gentiles:

But Eshaia proclaims of the sons of Israel: Though the number of the sons of Israel were as the sand which is on the sea, the residue of them shall be saved.

WHAT then shall we say? That the Gentiles who have not followed after righteousness have attained righteousness, but that righteousness which is of faith:

but Israel, who followed [fn] after the law of righteousness, unto the law of righteousness have not attained.

For why ? Because it was not by faith, but by the works of the law: for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling;

For I testify of them that they have zeal for Aloha, [fn] but not in knowledge.

But the righteousness of Aloha they know not, but seek the righteousness of themselves to establish, and on this account to the righteousness of Aloha they have not become subject.

But the righteousness which is by faith thus speaketh, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven, And bring down the Meshiha ?

But what saith it ? Nigh thee is the word of thy mouth and of thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.

But all of them have not obeyed [fn] the preaching of the gospel: for Eshaia saith, My Lord, who hath believed our voice ?

But I say, Have they not heard ? Behold, in all the earth their voice hath gone forth, And to the ends of the world their words !

But I say, Hath not Israel known? First, Musha thus speaketh, I will provoke you by a people who is not a people. And by the disobedient people will I make you angry.

But Eshaia is bold, and saith, I am beheld by them who have not sought me, And found of them who for me have not inquired.

But of Israel he saith, I have stretched out my hands all the day To a contentious and disobedient people.
