New American Standard Bible 1995

Romans 9:4-8

4who are 1Israelites, to whom belongs 2the adoption as sons, and 3the glory and 4the covenants and 5the giving of the Law and 6the temple service and 7the promises, 5whose are 8the fathers, and 9from whom is 10the Christ according to the flesh, 11who is over all, 12God 13blessed 14forever. Amen.

6But it is not as though 15the word of God has failed. 16For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7nor are they all children 17because they are Abraham’s 18descendants, but: “19 20through Isaac your 21descendants will be named.” 8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are 22children of God, but the 23children of the promise are regarded as 24descendants.
