And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if we suffer with [him], that we may be glorified together.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints, according to [the will of] God.

And we know that all things work together for good, to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.

What shall we then say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?

Who will lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? [It is] God that justifieth:

Who [is] he that condemneth? [It is] Christ that died, or rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Nor hight, nor depth, nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Who are Israelites; to whom [pertain] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service [of God], and the promises;

Whose [are] the fathers, and from whom according to the flesh, Christ [came], who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Not as though the word of God hath taken no effect. For they [are] not all Israel, who are [descendants] from Israel?

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.

(For [the children] being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth)

What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? By no means.

So then, [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.

No, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? shall the thing formed say to him that formed [it], Why hast thou made me thus?

[What] if God, willing to show [his] wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

And it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people; there shall they be called, The children of the living God.

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved.
