Romans 9:6-8
New Century Version
6 It is not that God failed to keep his promise to them. But only some of the people of Israel are truly God’s people,[a] 7 and only some of Abraham’s[b] descendants are true children of Abraham. But God said to Abraham: “The descendants I promised you will be from Isaac.”[c] 8 This means that not all of Abraham’s descendants are God’s true children. Abraham’s true children are those who become God’s children because of the promise God made to Abraham.
