Romans 9:5-8
New International Version
5 Theirs are the patriarchs,(A) and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah,(B) who is God over all,(C) forever praised![a](D) Amen.
God’s Sovereign Choice
6 It is not as though God’s word(E) had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.(F) 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.”[b](G) 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(H) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(I)
