Romans 9:1-13 - Israel's Rejection
1 I Speak truth in Christ, I lie not, my consciousness bearing witness to me in the Holy Spirit, 2 That there is great grief to me and continued pain in my heart. 3 For I myself was praying to be anathema from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4 Who are Israelites; whose the adoption as a son, and the glory, and covenants, and legislation, and divine worship, and solemn promises; 5 Whose the fathers, and from whom Christ according to the flesh, who being God over all, praised forever. Amen.
6 And not as that the word of God has fallen through. For not they all of Israel, they which of Israel: 7 Neither that the seed of Abraham, are all children: but, In Isaac shall the seed be called to thee. 8 That is, The children of the flesh, these not the children of God: but the children of the solemn promise are reckoned for seed. 9 For this the word of solemn promise, According to this time will I come, and there shall be a son to Sarah. 10 And not only; but also Rebecca, having coition of one, Isaac our father; 11 (For not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that according to choice the purpose of God might remain, not of works, but of him calling;) 12 It was said to her, That the greater shall serve the less. 13 As has been written, Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated.
