Romans 9:6-9

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.”
