Isaiah 45:25
Isaiah 48:2
Micah 3:11
Matthew 3:9
9Don't think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our forefather.’ For I tell you that God can raise up descendants for Abraham from these stones!John 8:33, 39; Acts 13:26; Rom 4:1, 11, 16John 8:33
33They replied to him, “We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves to anybody. So how can you say, ‘You will be set free’?”Lev 25:42; Matt 3:9; John 8:39John 8:41
41You are doing your father's works.”Isa 63:16; 64:8; Mal 1:6They said to him, “We are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, God himself.”Romans 9:4
4They are Israelites. To them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, ▼▼Other mss. read the covenant
the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises.Exod 4:22; Deut 7:6; 14:1; 1Sam 4:21; 1Kings 8:11; Ps 63:2; 78:61; 147:19; Jer 31:9; Acts 3:25; 13:32; Rom 3:2; Eph 2:12; Heb 8:8-10; 9:1 Romans 9:6-7
6Now it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all Israelites truly belong to Israel,Num 23:19; John 8:39; Rom 2:28-29; 3:8; Gal 6:16 7and not all of Abraham's descendants are his true descendants. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that descendants will be named for you.” ▼▼Gen 21:12
Gen 21:12; Gal 4:23; Heb 11:18 2 Corinthians 11:22
22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they Abraham's descendants? So am I.Acts 22:3; Rom 11:1; Phil 3:5
