Romans 9:6

Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. The Jew might reply, "Why, then, if Israel had such privileges, covenants and promises, is the nation rejected? Has God, if Jesus is really the Christ, made his word of none effect"? The apostle in the rest of the chapter answers this objection.

They [are] not all Israel, which are of Israel. The first point is that there is a wider, greater Israel than that of the flesh. There is an Israel according to the promise as well as according to the flesh.
