    4who are Israelites. To them belong the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.

    5To them belong the patriarchs, and from them, by human descent, came the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever! Amen.

    6It is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all those who are descended from Israel are truly Israel,

    7nor are all the children Abraham’s true descendants; rather“through Isaac will your descendants be counted.”

    14What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not!

    18So then, God has mercy on whom he chooses to have mercy, and he hardens whom he chooses to harden.

    19You will say to me then,“Why does he still find fault? For who has ever resisted his will?”
