Rather, “In Isaac a seed will be called to you.” 8 That is, the children of the flesh, these are not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: “At this time I will come, and to Sarah there will be a son.” 10 And not only so, but also Rebecca, having conception by one, Isaac our father— 11 for they not yet having been born nor having done anything good or evil, so that the purpose of God according to election might stand— 12 not of works but of the One calling, it was said to her, “The greater will serve the lesser.” 13 As it has been written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” Romans 9:7-13, Berean Literal Bible.
