God’s Word Translation
Romans 9:4-8
4They are Israelites, God’s adopted children. They have the Lord’s glory, the pledges, Moses’ Teachings, the true worship, and the promises.
5The Messiah is descended from their ancestors according to his human nature. The Messiah is God over everything, forever blessed. Amen.
6Now it is not as though God’s word has failed. Clearly, not everyone descended from Israel is part of Israel
7or a descendant of Abraham. However, ⌞as Scripture says,⌟ “Through Isaac your descendants will carry on your name.”
8This means that children born by natural descent ⌞from Abraham⌟ are not necessarily God’s children. Instead, children born by the promise are considered Abraham’s descendants.
