Romans 9:1–9

I speak the truth in Christ: I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost:

2 That I have great sadness and continual sorrow in my heart.

3 For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren: who are my kinsmen according to the flesh:

4 Who are Israelites: to whom belongeth the adoption as of children and the glory and the testament and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises:

5 Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.

6 Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel.

7 Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called.

8 That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are accounted for the seed.

9 For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come. And Sara shall have a son.
