Romans 9:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ They are the people of Israel. They were God’s chosen children. They have the glory of God and the agreements that God made between himself and his people. God gave them the law of Moses and the right way of worship. And God gave his promises to them. ⁵ They are the descendants of our great ancestors, and they are the earthly family of Christ. Christ is God over all. Praise him forever!^[a] Amen.

⁶ I do not mean that God failed to keep his promise to them. But only some of the people of Israel are truly God’s people.^[b]
