Romans 9:1

I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me [enlightened and prompted] by the Holy Spirit,

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

1-5 At the same time, you need to know that I carry with me at all times a huge sorrow. It’s an enormous pain deep within me, and I’m never free of it. I’m not exaggerating—Christ and the Holy Spirit are my witnesses. It’s the Israelites . . . If there were any way I could be cursed by the Messiah so they could be blessed by him, I’d do it in a minute. They’re my family. I grew up with them. They had everything going for them—family, glory, covenants, revelation, worship, promises, to say nothing of being the race that produced the Messiah, the Christ, who is God over everything, always. Oh, yes! 6-9 Don’t suppose for a moment, though, that God’s Word has malfunctioned in some way or other. The problem goes back a long way. From the outset, not all Israelites of the flesh were Israelites of the spirit. It wasn’t Abraham’s sperm that gave identity here, but God’s promise. Remember how it was put: “Your family will be defined by Isaac”? That means that Israelite identity was never racially determined by sexual transmission, but it was God-determined by promise. Remember that promise, “When I come back next year at this time, Sarah will have a son”? 10-13 And that’s not the only time. To Rebecca, also, a promise was made that took priority over genetics. When she became pregnant by our one-of-a-kind ancestor, Isaac, and her babies were still innocent in the womb—incapable of good or bad—she received a special assurance from God. What God did in this case made it perfectly plain that his purpose is not a hit-or-miss thing dependent on what we do or don’t do, but a sure thing determined by his decision, flowing steadily from his initiative. God told Rebecca, “The firstborn of your twins will take second place.” Later that was turned into a stark epigram: “I loved Jacob; I hated Esau.” 14-18 Is that grounds for complaining that God is unfair? Not so fast, please. God told Moses, “I’m in charge of mercy. I’m in charge of compassion.” Compassion doesn’t originate in our bleeding hearts or moral sweat, but in God’s mercy. The same point was made when God said to Pharaoh, “I picked you as a bit player in this drama of my salvation power.” All we’re saying is that God has the first word, initiating the action in which we play our part for good or ill.

I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

Estoy expresándome como creyente en Cristo que soy, y digo la verdad sin ambages. Con plena conciencia pongo al Espíritu Santo por testigo de que no miento:

I speak the truth in Christ. I am not lying. My mind tells me that what I say is true. It is guided by the Holy Spirit.

I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit—

I speak the truth in Christ – I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit –

With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it.

Saa bere no na Saulo ani abere sɛ ɔbɛtɔre Kristo akyidifo no ase.

أَقُولُ الْحَقَّ فِي الْمَسِيحِ، لَسْتُ أَكْذِبُ، وَضَمِيرِي شَاهِدٌ لِي بِالرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ،

Karon may isugilon pa ako kaninyo, ug tinuod kini kay anaa ako kang Cristo ug dili ako mamakak. Ang akong konsensya nga gigamhan sa Espiritu Santo nagapamatuod usab nga tinuod ang akong isugilon,

1-2 Ach, Izraeli! Ach, můj národe! Kéž bys i ty našel cestu ke Kristu! Trápím se a naříkám pro tebe dnem i nocí.

1-2 Jeg bærer på en stor sorg og har en stadig smerte i mit hjerte. Jeg lyver ikke, for jeg tilhører Kristus. Helligånden bekræfter over for min samvittighed, at jeg taler sandt, når jeg siger,

Christus ist mein Zeuge, und der Heilige Geist bestätigt es mir in meinem Gewissen, dass es wahr ist, wenn ich euch versichere:

Digo la verdad en Cristo; no miento. Mi conciencia me lo confirma en el Espíritu Santo.

Digo la verdad en Cristo; no miento. Mi conciencia me lo confirma en el Espíritu Santo.

Je dis la vérité, en tant qu’homme uni à Christ, je ne mens pas ; ma conscience, en accord avec l’Esprit Saint, me rend ce témoignage :

אני אומר את האמת במשיח ומצפוני ברוח הקודש מאשר שדברי נכונים:

Karon may isugid pa ako sa inyo, kag ini matuod, kay ara ako kay Cristo kag wala ako nagabutig. Ang akon konsensya nga ginagamhan sang Espiritu Santo nagapamatuod man nga matuod ang akon igasugid,

U nazočnosti Kristovoj govorim istinu - ne lažem - a moja savjest i Sveti Duh potvrđuju da je ovo što govorim istina.

Dico la verità in Cristo, non mento, la mia coscienza lo conferma nello Spirito Santo. 2-3 Ho una tristezza grande e una angoscia incessante nel mio cuore. Perché io desidererei essere maledetto e tagliato via da Cristo se ciò potesse aiutare i miei fratelli, quelli del mio stesso popolo,

1-3 私の同胞であるイスラエルの人々、同国人であるユダヤ人の人たちがキリストのもとに来ることを、私はどんなに望んでいるでしょう。昼も夜も、彼らのことで心は重く、悲しみのあまり、胸も張り裂けんばかりです。彼らがキリストによって救われるためなら、私は永遠にのろわれてもかまいません。むしろ、のろわれたいくらいです。口先だけでこう言っているのでないことは、キリストも聖霊もご存じです。

그리스도 안에 있는 내가 진실을 말하고 거짓말을 하지 않는다는 것을 성령 님 안에서 내 양심이 증거하고 있습니다.

Det jeg nå vil si, understreker jeg sannheten av. Jeg lyver ikke, etter som jeg har fellesskap med Kristus. Nei, både min egen samvittighet og Guds Hellige Ånd forsikrer at sannheten er denne:

Christus weet dat ik de waarheid spreek en de Heilige Geest bevestigt het in mijn geweten:

Stojąc przed obliczem Chrystusa, chcę zgodnie z prawdą i bez kłamstwa, z czystym sumieniem i w Duchu Świętym, powiedzieć,

Digo a verdade em Cristo, não minto; minha consciência o confirma no Espírito Santo:

Digo a verdade em Cristo, não estou a mentir. A minha consciência é minha testemunha e o Espírito Santo o confirma.

Cristopaj shutipimi nini, mana llullanichu. Ñuca yuyaipica, jucha illaj Espiritullatajmi yuyachicun.

Spun adevărul în Cristos, nu mint: conştiinţa mea, prin Duhul Sfânt, îmi este martoră

Я говорю истину и не лгу, как и подобает последователю Масиха. Об этом свидетельствует моя совесть, руководимая Святым Духом.

Я говорю истину и не лгу, как и подобает последователю Масиха. Об этом свидетельствует моя совесть, руководимая Святым Духом.

Я говорю истину и не лгу, как и подобает последователю Христа. Об этом свидетельствует моя совесть, руководимая Святым Духом.

Ó Izrael! Ó môj národ! Ako veľmi túžim, aby si aj ty našiel cestu ku Kristovi!

Jag talar sanning i Kristus och ljuger inte. Mitt eget samvete och den heliga Anden försäkrar att det är så här:

Ninasema kweli katika Kristo na dhamiri yangu inanishuhudia kwa njia ya Roho Mtakatifu kuwa sisemi uongo.

ข้าพเจ้าพูดความจริงในพระคริสต์ ข้าพเจ้าไม่ได้กำลังมุสา จิตสำนึกของข้าพเจ้ายืนยันโดยพระวิญญาณบริสุทธิ์ว่า

我在基督里说真话，绝无谎言。我被圣灵感动的良心可以作证，

我 在 基 督 里 说 真 话 ， 并 不 谎 言 ， 有 我 良 心 被 圣 灵 感 动 ， 给 我 作 见 证 ；

我在基督裡說真話，絕無謊言。我被聖靈感動的良心可以作證，
