Romans 9:2-12

2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ, for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom [pertain] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;
5 Whose [are] the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh, Christ [came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they [are] not all Israel, who are [descendants] from Israel?
7 Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, [are they] all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9 For this [is] the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac,
11 (For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)
12 It was said to her, The elder shall serve the younger.
