    31 but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 以色列人靠遵行律法追求义,却徒劳无功。

    32 Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone.为什么会这样呢?因为他们不凭信心,只靠自己的行为去追求义,结果就在那块“绊脚石”上跌倒了。

重点句子的学习:罗9:14-20

14 What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! 这样,我们可说什么呢?难道神有什么不公平吗?断乎没有。

15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”祂曾对摩西说:“我要怜悯谁就怜悯谁,要恩待谁就恩待谁。”

16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 可见这并不在于人的意志和努力,而在于祂的怜悯。

17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 圣经记载着上帝对法老说的话:“我使你兴起是为了在你身上彰显我的权能,使我的名传遍天下。”

18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.如此看来,神要怜悯谁,就怜悯谁,要叫谁刚硬,就叫谁刚硬。

19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 这样,你必对我说,他为什么还指责人呢?有谁抗拒他的旨意呢?

20But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ ”你这个人啊!你是谁啊?竟敢顶撞上帝!受造之物怎能对造物主说:“你为什么把我造成这样?”
