About Romans 9Paul has "great heaviness and continual sorrow" for his kinsmen, the Israelites, "to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants," yet "they are not all Israel, which are of Israel," for "the children of the promise are counted for the seed," and of Rebecca's twins it is written, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." God says, "I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy," so "it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy," and Paul asks, "who art thou that repliest against God." The Gentiles have attained "the righteousness which is of faith," but Israel did not, "Because they sought it not by faith," stumbling at the stone laid in Sion, though "whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
