3 STF Ћeleo bih иak da ja sam budem proklet i odluиen od Hrista za braжu svoju, koja su po telu od istoga roda kao i ja, BSB BSB: For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
5 STF kojih su oci i od kojih je Hristos kao иovek, koji je Bog nad svima, slava mu i hvala veиna! Amin. BSB BSB: Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen.
6 STF Ali ne kao da je propala reи Boћja: jer nisu svi koji su od Izrailja, (pravi) Izrailjci, BSB BSB: It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
7 STF niti su svi deca (Boћja) zato љto su seme Avramovo, nego: "U Isaku жe ti se nazvati seme". BSB BSB: Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
8 STF To jest, nisu deca prirodnog porekla deca Boћja, nego se (samo) deca obeжanja primaju za (pravo) seme. BSB BSB: So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
9 STF Jer je reи "U ovo vreme doжi жu i u Sare жe biti sin"- obeжanje. BSB BSB: For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 STF Ali ne samo (ovde), (tako je bilo) i kod Reveke, koja je zaиela od jednoga, Isaka, oca naљega: BSB BSB: Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
11 STF jer joљ dok se (deca) ne behu rodila, ni uиinila dobra ni zla- da bi ostalo onako kako je Bog po izboru odredio, BSB BSB: Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
12 STF ne po delima, nego po volji onoga koji poziva- reиe joj se: "Veжi жe sluћiti manjemu", BSB BSB: not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
13 STF kao љto stoji napisano: "Jakov mi omile, a na Isava omrzoh". BSB BSB: So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 STF Љta жemo, dakle, reжi? Je li Bog nepravedan? Boћe saиuvaj! BSB BSB: What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
15 STF Jer Mojsiju govori: "Koga жu pomilovati, pomilovaжu, i na koga жu se smilovati, smilovaжu se". BSB BSB: For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 STF Tako, dakle, ne stoji do onoga koji hoжe, niti do onoga koji trиi, nego do milostivoga Boga. BSB BSB: So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
17 STF Jer pismo govori Faraonu: "Baљ za to te podigoh, da na tebi pokaћem silu svoju, i da se razglasi ime moje po svoj zemlji".

19 STF Reжi жeљ mi: Zaљto (nas) onda joљ kori? Jer ko se moћe protiviti volji njegovoj? BSB BSB: One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
20 STF A ko si ti, o иoveиe, da se prepireљ s Bogom? Govori li rukotvorina majstoru svome: Zaљto si me tako naиinio? BSB BSB: But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
21 STF Ili zar lonиar nema vlasti nad kalom, da od iste smese naиini jedan sud za иast, a drugi za sramotu? BSB BSB: Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
22 STF A kad Bog, da bi pokazao gnev svoj i objavio silu svoju, s velikom strpljivoљжu podnese sudove gneva, pripravljene za pogibao, BSB BSB: What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
23 STF i da pokaћe bogatstvo slave svoje na sudima milosti, koje pripravi za slavu, BSB BSB: What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—

26 STF I na mestu gde im se reиe "Vi niste moj narod", tamo жe se nazvati sinovi Boga ћivoga". BSB BSB: and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
27 STF A Isaija viиe za Izrailja: "Ako bude broj sinova Izrailjevih kao pesak morski, samo жe se ostatak spasti. BSB BSB: Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
28 STF Jer жe Gospod izvrљiti i skratiti reи svoju na zemlji". BSB BSB: For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
29 STF I kao љto je prorekao Isaija: "Da nam nije Gospod Savaot ostavio semena, bili bi kao Sodoma i Gomora". BSB BSB: It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
30 STF Љta жemo, dakle, reжi? Da neznaboљci, koji ne traћiљe pravednosti, postigoљe pravednost, i to pravednost od vere, BSB BSB: What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
31 STF a Izrailj, traћeжi zakon pravednosti, ne postiћe (ovoga) zakona. BSB BSB: but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
32 STF Zaљto? Jer (se) ne (htede opravdati) verom, nego delima: spotakoљe se na kamen spoticanja, BSB BSB: Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 STF kao љto stoji napisano: "Evo meжem u Sionu kamen spoticanja i stenu sablazni, i koji veruje u njega, neжe se postideti". BSB BSB: as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
