Romans 9:6 in other translations
Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.
