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 4 5descendants, but: “6 7through Isaac your 8descendants shall be named.” 8That is, it is not the children of the flesh 9who are 10children of God, but the 11children of the promise are regarded as 12 13descendants. 9For this is the word of promise: “14At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.” 10 15And not only that, but there was also 16Rebekah, 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 17God’s purpose according to His choice would 18stand, not 19because of works but 20because of Him who calls, 12it was said to her, “21The older will serve the younger.” 13Just as it is written: “22Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
