    4They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises.

    5To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, came Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

    6It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

    7Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, 'Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.'

    8This means it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

    9For this is the word of promise: 'At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.'

    13As it is written: 'Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.'

    14What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!

    17For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: 'I raised you up for this very purpose, so that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.'

    18So then, he has mercy on whom he wills, and he hardens whom he wills.

    19You will say to me then, 'Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?'
