Romans 9:6-13
6But it is not as thoughG3754 1the wordG3056 of GodG2316 has failedG1601. 2For they are not allG3956 IsraelG2274 whoG3588 are descended from IsraelG2274; 7norG3761 are they allG3956 childrenG5043 3becauseG3754 they are Abraham’sG11 4descendantsG4690, but: “56throughG1722 IsaacG2464 your 7descendantsG4690 will be namedG2564.” 8That is, it is not the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561 whoG3778 are 8childrenG5043 of GodG2316, but the 9childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are regardedG3049 as 10descendantsG4690. 9For thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860: “11At thisG3778 timeG2540 I will comeG2064, and SarahG4564 shall haveG1510 a sonG5207.” 1012And not onlyG3440 this, but there was 13RebekahG4479 alsoG2532, when she had conceivedG2845G2192 twins by oneG1520 manG1520, our fatherG3962 IsaacG2464; 11for though the twins were not yetG3380 bornG1080 and had not doneG4238 anythingG5100 goodG18 orG2228 badG5337, soG2443 that 14God’sG2316 purposeG4286 accordingG2596 to His choiceG1589 would 15standG3306, not 16becauseG1537 of worksG2041 but 17becauseG1537 of Him who callsG2564, 12it was saidG3004 to her, “18The olderG3173 will serveG1398 the youngerG1640.” 13JustG2509 as it is writtenG1125, “19JacobG2384 I lovedG25, but EsauG2269 I hatedG3404.”
