Romans 9:9 Context
7Neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. 9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall haue a sonne. 10And not onely this, but when Rebecca also had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac, 11(For the children being not yet borne, neither hauing done any good or euil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of workes, but of him that calleth.)
