Romans 9:6-13

6But it is not as though 1the word of God has failed. 2For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; 7nor are they all children 3because they are Abraham’s 4descendants, but: “56through Isaac your 7descendants will be named.” 8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are 8children of God, but the 9children of the promise are regarded as 10descendants. 9For this is the word of promise: “11At this time I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.” 1012And not only this, but there was 13Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac; 11for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that 14God’s purpose according to His choice would 15stand, not 16because of works but 17because of Him who calls, 12it was said to her, “18The older will serve the younger.” 13Just as it is written, “19Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
