2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one , even by our father Isaac;11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.20Nay 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?21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
