Romans 9:6-8
New International Version
God’s Sovereign Choice
6 It is not as though God’s word(A) had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.(B) 7 Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham’s children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”[a](C) 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(D) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(E)

8 In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
“two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.(A)
9 This third I will put into the fire;(B)
I will refine them like silver(C)
and test them like gold.(D)
They will call(E) on my name(F)
and I will answer(G) them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’(H)
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.(I)’”
