Romans 9:4-8

English Standard Version

⁴ They are ^(A)Israelites, and to them belong ^(B)the adoption, ^(C)the glory, ^(D)the covenants, ^(E)the giving of the law, ^(F)the worship, and ^(G)the promises. ⁵ To them belong ^(H)the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, ^(I)who is God over all, ^(J)blessed forever. Amen.

⁶ But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, ⁷ and not all are children of Abraham ^(K)because they are his offspring, but ^(L)“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” ⁸ This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but ^(M)the children of the promise are counted as offspring.
