Romans 9 — Context

That I am full of sorrow and pain without end.

For I have a desire to take on myself the curse for my brothers, my family in the flesh:

Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.
