Context of Romans 9:5
3for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh; 4who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises; whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 6Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of Israel; 7nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
