What then? If some were unfaithful, will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?

即便有不信的，这有何妨呢？难道他们的不信就废掉神的信吗？

即使有不信的，这又何妨呢？难道他们的不信就废掉上帝的信实吗？

即使有不信的，这又何妨呢？难道他们的不信就废掉神的信实吗？

虽然有些人不相信，但那有什么关系呢？难道上帝的信实可靠会因他们的不信而化为无有吗？

即使有人不信，又有什么关系呢？难道他们的不信会使神的信实无效吗？

即使他们中有些人不信，到底又怎么样呢？难道他们的不信会使神的信实无效吗？

雖然有些人不相信，但那有什麼關係呢？難道上帝的信實可靠會因他們的不信而化為無有嗎？

即使有人不信，又有甚麼關係呢？難道他們的不信會使神的信實無效嗎？

就使有取了不信態度的，能怎麼樣呢？難道他們之不信能廢掉上帝之可信靠麼？

即使他們中有些人不信，到底又怎麼樣呢？難道他們的不信會使神的信實無效嗎？

設有無信者何如耶、彼之無信、豈廢上帝信乎、

曰、其中若有不信、得毋以不信廢上帝信乎、

其中有不信者則何歟、彼之不信、能廢天主之信乎、

其中縱有負此託付者、亦無礙宏旨。人之不誠、豈能廢天主之至誠乎？

What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?

What if some Jews were not faithful? Will the fact that they weren’t faithful keep God from being faithful?

What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?

True, some of them were unfaithful; but just because they were unfaithful, does that mean God will be unfaithful?

What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?

For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?

if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.

For we also have received the good news just as they did. But the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith.

Now it is not as though the word of God has failed, because not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Furthermore, the Eternal One of Israel does not lie or change his mind, for he is not man who changes his mind.”

But not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message?

so my word that comes from my mouth will not return to me empty, but it will accomplish what I please and will prosper in what I send it to do.”

God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind. Does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?

I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah— how he pleads with God against Israel?Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and they are trying to take my life!But what was God’s answer to him? I have left seven thousand for myself who have not bowed down to Baal.In the same way, then, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace.Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.What then? Israel did not find what it was looking for, but the elect did find it. The rest were hardened,

For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater to swear by, he swore by himself:I will indeed bless you, and I will greatly multiply you.And so, after waiting patiently, Abraham obtained the promise.For people swear by something greater than themselves, and for them a confirming oath ends every dispute.Because God wanted to show his unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, he guaranteed it with an oath,so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us.

“ Have you not noticed what these people have said? They say,‘ The LORD has rejected the two families he had chosen.’ My people are treated with contempt and no longer regarded as a nation among them.This is what the LORD says: If I do not keep my covenant with the day and with the night, and if I fail to establish the fixed order of heaven and earth,then I might also reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David. That is, I would not take rulers from his descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. But in fact, I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them.”

We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, since your faith is flourishing and the love each one of you has for one another is increasing.

Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

You will leave your name behind as a curse for my chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will kill you; but he will give his servants another name.Whoever asks for a blessing in the land will ask for a blessing by the God of truth, and whoever swears in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my sight.

Indeed, we have all received grace upon grace from his fullness,

They go from strength to strength; each appears before God in Zion.

We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.

“ For this is like the days of Noah to me: when I swore that the water of Noah would never flood the earth again, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.Though the mountains move and the hills shake, my love will not be removed from you and my covenant of peace will not be shaken,” says your compassionate LORD.

since God’s gracious gifts and calling are irrevocable.
