Romans 9:7-13

7 and not all are children of Abraham ^abecause they are his offspring, but ^b“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but ^cthe children of the promise are counted as offspring. 9 For this is what the promise said: ^d“About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but ^ealso when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of ^fhim who calls— 12 she was told, ^g“The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, ^h“Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
