Romans 9:2 - Romans 9:12
2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart,
3 (For once I could have wished that myself were accursed from Christ,) for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh;
4 Who are Israelites; of whom are the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God,
5 And the promises which are made unto the fathers; and of whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ was, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.
7 Neither, because they are all children of Abraham, are they the seed; but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise. At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 And not only Sarah; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, our father Isaac,
11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
