Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 who are Israelites, of whom[a] is the adoption and the glory[b] and the covenants and the Law-giving and the [temple] service and the promises, 5 of whom are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according-to[c] the flesh, the One being[d] over all, God, blessed forever, amen.
But Not All Abraham’s Physical Children Are Children of God
6 But it is not such as that the word of God has failed— for not all[e] these ones from Israel are Israel.
