Romans 9:1-18 KJV

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:6

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:Not as if — The Jews imagined that the word of God must fail if all their nation were not saved. This St. Paul now refutes, and proves that the word itself had foretold their falling away.The word of God — The promises of God to Israel.Had fallen to the ground — This could not be. Even now, says the apostle, some enjoy the promises; and hereafter "all Israel shall be saved." This is the sum... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:7

Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.Neither because they are lineally the seed of Abraham, will it follow that they are all children of God - This did not hold even in Abraham's own family; and much less in his remote descendants. But God then said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called - That is, Isaac, not Ishmael, shall be called thy seed; that seed to which the promise is made. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:8

That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.That is, Not the children, … — As if he had said, This is a clear type of things to come; showing us, that in all succeeding generations, not the children of the flesh, the lineal descendants of Abraham, but the children of the promise, they to whom the promise is made, that is, believers, are the children of God.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:9

For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.For this is the word of the promise — By the power of which Isaac was conceived, and not by the power of nature. Not, Whosoever is born of thee shall be blessed, but, At this time - Which I now appoint.I will come, and Sarah shall have a son — And he shall inherit the blessing. Genesis 18:10. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:10

And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;And that God's blessing does not belong to all the descendants of Abraham, appears not only by this instance, but by that of Esau and Jacob, who was chosen to inherit the blessing, before either of them had done good or evil. The apostle mentions this to show, that neither were their ancestors accepted through any merit of their own.That the purpose of God according to election might stand — Whose purpose... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:12

It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.The elder — Esau.Shall serve the younger — Not in person, for he never did; but in his posterity. Accordingly the Edomites were often brought into subjection by the Israelites. Genesis 25:23. read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:13

As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.As it is written — With which word in Genesis, spoken so long before, that of Malachi agrees.I have loved Jacob — With a peculiar love; that is, the Israelites, the posterity of Jacob. And I have, comparatively, hated Esau - That is, the Edomites, the posterity of Esau. But observe, 1. This does not relate to the person of Jacob or Esau2. Nor does it relate to the eternal state either of them or their posterity. Thus far the apostle... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:14

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.Is there injustice with God — Is it unjust in God to give Jacob the blessing rather than Esau? or to accept believers, and them only.God forbid — In no wise. This is well consistent with justice; for he has a right to fix the terms on which he will show mercy, according to his declaration to Moses, petitioning for all the people, after they had committed idolatry with the golden calf.I will have mercy on whom I will have... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Romans 9:16

So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.It — The blessing.Therefore is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth — It is not the effect either of the will or the works of man, but of the grace and power of God. The will of man is here opposed to the grace of God, and man's running, to the divine operation. And this general declaration respects not only Isaac and Jacob, and the Israelites in the time of Moses, but likewise all the... read more
