Romans 9:6-9

6But it is not as thoughG3754 1the wordG3056 of GodG2316 has failedG1601. 2For they are not allG3956 IsraelG2474 whoG3588 are descended from IsraelG2474;

7norG3761 are they allG3956 childrenG5043 3becauseG3754 they are Abraham’sG11 45descendantsG4690, but: “67throughG1722 IsaacG2464 your 8descendantsG4690 shall be namedG2564.”

8That is, it is not the childrenG5043 of the fleshG4561 9whoG3778 are 10childrenG5043 of GodG2316, but the 11childrenG5043 of the promiseG1860 are regardedG3049 as 1213descendantsG4690.

9For thisG3778 is the wordG3056 of promiseG1860: “14At thisG3778 timeG2540 I will comeG2064, and SarahG4564 will haveG1510 a sonG5207.”
