not as it was by one that sinned, so is the
gift
(dorema):

evil, that the
purpose
(prothesis)

election

calleth
(kaleo);)
It was said unto her, the elder shall serve the younger. As it
is written, Jacob have I
loved
(agapao),
but Esau have I
hated
(miseo).
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God
forbid. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will
have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have
compassion. So then it is not of him that
willeth
(thelo),
nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. ”

Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he
will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet
find fault? For whom hath resisted his
will
(boulema)?
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall
the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made
me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same
lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
What if God,
willing
(thelo)
to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with
much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the
vessels of mercy, which he had
afore
prepared
(proetoim)
unto glory.”

9:25-33
“As he saith also in O’see, I will call them my people, which
were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. And
it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto
them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the
children of the living God. Esaias also crieth concerning
Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the
sand of the sea, a
remnant
(leimma)
shall be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it short in
righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the
earth. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had
left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto
Gomorrha. What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which
followed not after righteousness, have attained to
righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But
Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not
attained to the law of righteousness. Wherefore? Because they
sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law.
For they stumbled at that stumbling stone; As it is written,
Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and
whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”

Romans 11:2,
5, 7, 28
“God hath not cast away his people which he
foreknew
(proginosko)
Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? How he maketh
intercession to God against Israel... Even so then at this
present time also there is a
remnant
(leimma)
according to the
election
(ekloge)
of grace. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he
seeketh for; but the
election
(ekloge)
hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. For this is my
covenant
(diatheke)
unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the
gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the
election
(ekloge),
they are beloved for the father’s sakes. For the
gifts
(charisma)
and
calling
(klesis)
of God are
without
repentance
(ametameletos

irrevocable).”

chosen

yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that
are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.”

the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new
covenant
(diatheke)
with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not
according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the
day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of
Egypt; because they continued not in my
covenant
(diatheke),
and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those
days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and
write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and
they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man
his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:
for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I
will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and
