Romans 9:4-8

4who are 1Israelites, to whom belongs 2the adoption as sons and daughters, 3the glory, 4the covenants, 5the giving of the Law, 6the temple service, and 7the promises; 5whose are 8the fathers, and 9from whom is the 10Christ 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 18 19descendants, but: “20 21through Isaac your 22descendants shall be named.” 8That is, it is not the children of the flesh 23who are 24children of God, but the 25children of the promise are regarded as 26 27descendants.
