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.  
9 For this is the word of promise: a“At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”  
10 And not only this, but when aRebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac  
11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of aHim who calls),  
12 it was said to her, a“The older shall serve the younger.”  
13 As it is written, a“Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”
