Romans 9:6-13 - God's Gracious Election Of Israel

⁶ Now it is not supposable that the word of God hath failed. For these are not all Israel, who are of Israel: ⁷ nor, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, in Isaac shall thy seed be called. ⁸ That is, not the children of the flesh, these are the children of God: but the children of the promise are accounted for the seed. ⁹ For the word of promise is this, At that time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son. ¹⁰ And not only so; but when Rebecca also had conception by one, even Isaac our father; ¹¹ (though the children were not yet born, nor had done any thing good or evil, that according to the election of God the purpose might abide, not from works, but from him who called;) ¹² it was said unto her, "That the elder shall be servant to the younger." ¹³ As it is written, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
