The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

9:1I SAY the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

9:2That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

9:3For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

9:4Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

9:5Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

9:6Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

9:7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

9:8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

9:9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
