Romans 9:4-8
Romans 9:4
who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons and daughters, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the temple service, and the promises;
Romans 9:5
whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
Romans 9:6
But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel;
Romans 9:7
nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “through Isaac your descendants shall be named.”
Romans 9:8
That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
