If we believe not, {yet} he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard {it}. {the word...: Gr. the word of hearing} {not being...: or, because they were not united by faith to}

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they {are} not all Israel, which are of Israel:

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper {in the thing} whereto I sent it.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? {our report: Gr. the hearing of us?} {report: or, preaching?}

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he {is} not a man, that he should repent. {Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory}

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, {of} the tribe of Benjamin.

They go from strength to strength, {every one of them} in Zion appeareth before God. {strength to...: or, company to company}

God {is} not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do {it}? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

For this {is as} the waters of Noah unto me: for {as} I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, {even} as by the Spirit of the Lord. {by the...: or, of the Lord the Spirit}

And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.

For the gifts and calling of God {are} without repentance.

And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

If we believe not, {yet} he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, {if} the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see {it} with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof. {a lord...: Heb. a lord which belonged to the king leaning upon his hand}

But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? {our report: Gr. the hearing of us?} {report: or, preaching?}

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they {are} not all Israel, which are of Israel:

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises {made} unto the fathers:

And this I say, {that} the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left {us} of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they {are} a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make {them} the members of an harlot? God forbid.

But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
