²³ Thus says the Lord:

²⁷ For ^(A)as many of you as were baptized into Christ ^(B)have put on Christ. ^28 (C)There is neither Jew nor Greek, ^(D)there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all ^(E)one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And ^(F)if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s ^(G)seed, and ^(H)heirs according to the promise.

¹⁷ But ^(A)“he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

¹¹ And such were ^(A)some of you. ^(B)But you were washed, but you were ^[a]sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

³¹ that, as it is written, ^(A)“He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose^(A)

^6 (B)But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For ^(C)they are not all Israel who are of Israel, ^7 (D)nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, ^(E)“In Isaac your seed shall be called.” ⁸ That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but ^(F)the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

³³ Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? ^(A)It is God who justifies. ^34 (B)Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, ^(C)who is even at the right hand of God, ^(D)who also makes intercession for us.
