Israel’s Rejection of Christ
1 I atell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,
2 athat I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.
3 For aI could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my1 countrymen according to the flesh,
4 who are Israelites, ato whom pertain the adoption, bthe glory, cthe covenants, dthe giving of the law, ethe service of God, and fthe promises;
5 aof whom are the fathers and from bwhom, according to the flesh, Christ came, cwho is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
Israel’s Rejection and God’s Purpose
6 aBut it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For bthey are not all Israel who are of Israel,
7 anor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, b“In Isaac your seed shall be called.”
8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but athe children of the promise are counted as the seed.
