Romans 9:5-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
5 to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed for ever.[a] Amen.
6 But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but “Through Isaac shall your descendants be named.”
