‏ Romans 9:6

6 But it is not that the Word of God has perished. For not all those who are Israelites are of Israel. ^{▼▼9:6 All are not Israelites, etc: Not all, who are the carnal seed of Israel, are true Israelites in God’s account: who, as by his free grace, he heretofore preferred Isaac before Ismael, and Jacob before Esau, so he could, and did by the like free grace, election and mercy, raise up spiritual children by faith to Abraham and Israel, from among the Gentiles, and prefer them before the carnal Jews.(Challoner)}
