Romans 9:7

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

Romans 9:8

That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as a seed.

In other words, it is not the children by natural descent who count as God's children, but the children made such by the promise are regarded as Abraham's posterity.

That is, They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

As he saith also in Hosea, I will call them My people, who were not my people; and her Beloved, who was not beloved.

Romans 9:26

As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, We would have become like Sodom, And would have been made like Gomorrah."

Even as Isaiah says in an earlier place, "Were it not that the Lord, the God of Hosts, had left us some few descendants, we should have become like Sodom, and have come to resemble Gomorrah."

Romans 9:30

What will we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

To what conclusion does this bring us? Why, that the Gentiles, who were not in pursuit of righteousness, have overtaken it a righteousness, however, which arises from faith;

What shall we say then? That the Gentiles who followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:

Romans 9:31

but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.

while the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a Law that could give righteousness, have not arrived at one.

But Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

Romans 9:32

Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

And why? Because they were pursuing a righteousness which should arise not from faith, but from what they regarded as merit. They stuck their foot against the stone which lay in their way;

As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling-stone, and rock of offense: and whoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
