It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.

Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”

In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
