Romans 9:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ They are the people of Israel. They have been adopted as God’s children. God’s glory belongs to them. So do the covenants. They received the law. They were taught to worship in the temple. They were given the promises. ⁵ The founders of our nation belong to them. The Messiah comes from their family line. He is God over all. May he always be praised! Amen.

God’s Free Choice

⁶ I do not mean that God’s word has failed. Not everyone in the family line of Israel really belongs to Israel.
