Romans 9:4-8 for they are Israelites, theirs is the Sonship, the Glory, the covenants, the divine legislation, the Worship, and the promises;

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ for they are Israelites, theirs is the Sonship, the Glory, the covenants, the divine legislation, the Worship, and the promises; ⁵ the patriarchs are theirs, and theirs too (so far as natural descent goes) is the Christ. (Blessed for evermore be the God who is over all! Amen.) ⁶ It is not, of course, as if God's word had failed! Far from it! 'Israel' does not mean everyone who belongs to Israel; ⁷ they are not all children of Abraham because they are descended from Abraham. No, it is through Isaac that your offspring shall be reckoned — ⁸ meaning that instead of God's children being the children born to him by natural descent, it is the children of the Promise who are reckoned as his true offspring.
