translation:

Notwithstanding it cannot be that the word of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:
⁷ Neither are they all children, because they are the seed of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called:
⁸ That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seed.
⁹ For this is a word of promise, In this same time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
¹⁰Neither he only felt this, but also Rebecca, when she had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac.
¹¹ For ere the children were born, and when they had neither done good nor evil (that the purpose of God might remain according to election, not by works, but by him that calleth.)
¹² It was said unto her, The Elder shall serve the younger.
¹³ As it is written, I have loved Jacob, and have hated Esau.
¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
¹⁵ For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on him, to whom I will show mercy: and will have compassion on him, on who I will have compassion.

summary:

verse 6: He entereth into the handling of predestination by a kind of preventing an objection: How may it be, that Israel is cast off, but that therewithall we must also make the covenant which God made with Abraham and his seed, frustrate and void? He answereth therefore, that God’s word is true, although that Israel be cast off: for the election of the people of Israel is so general and common, that notwithstanding the same, God chooseth by his secret counsel, such as it pleaseth him. So then this is the proposition and state of this Treatise: The grace of salvation is offered generally in such sort, that notwithstanding it, the efficacy thereof pertaineth only to the elect.

Israel in the first place, is taken for Jacob: and in the second, for the Israelites.

verse 7: The first proof is taken from the example of Abraham’s own house, wherein Isaac only was counted the son, and that by God’s ordinance: although that Ishmael also was born of Abraham, and circumcised before Isaac.

Isaac shall be thy true and natural son, and therefore heir of thy blessing.

verse 8: A general application of the former proof or example. Which are born of Abraham by the course of nature. Which are born by virtue of the promise.

verse 9:  A reason of that application: Because that Isaac was born by the virtue of the promise, and therefore he was not chosen, nay he was not at all, but by the free will of God: whereby it follows that the promise is the fountain of predestination, and not the flesh from which promise the particular election proceeds: that is, that the elect be born elect: and not that they be first born and then afterward elected, in respect of God who doth predestinate.

verse 10: Another forcible proof, taken from the example of Esau and Jacob, which were both born of the same Isaac, which was the son of promise, of one mother, and at one birth, and not at divers as Ishmael and Isaac were: and yet notwithstanding, Esau being cast off, only Jacob was chosen: and that before their birth, that neither any goodness of Jacob’s might be thought to be the cause of his election, neither any wickedness of Esau, of his casting away.

verse 11: God’s decree, which proceedeth of his mere good will, whereby it pleased him to choose one, and refuse the other. Paul saith not, might be made, but being made, might remain. Therefore they are deceived which make foreseen faith the cause of election, and foreknown infidelity, the cause of reprobation.

verse 12: He proves the casting away of Esau by that, that he was made servant to his brother: and proves the choosing of Jacob by that that he was made Lord of his brother, although his brother was the first begotten. And lest that any man might take this saying of God, and refer it to external things, the Apostle shows out of Malachi, who is a good interpreter of Moses, that the servitude of Esau was joined with the hatred of God, and the Lordship of Jacob with the love of God.

verse 14: The first objection: If God doth love or hate upon no consideration of worthiness or unworthiness, then [is] he unjust, because he may love them which are unworthy, and hate them that are worthy. The Apostle detested this blasphemy, and afterward answered it severally, point by point. Man’s will knows no other causes of love or hatred, but those that are in the persons, and thereupon this objection rises.

verse 15: He answered first touching them which are chosen to salvation in choosing of whom, he denies that God may seem unjust, although he choose and predestinate to salvation, them that are not yet born, without any respect of worthiness: because he bringeth not the chosen to the appointed end, but by the means of his mercy, which is a cause next under predestination. Now mercy presupposes misery, and again misery presupposes sin or voluntary corruption of mankind, and corruption presupposes a pure and perfect creation. Moreover, mercy is showed by her degrees: to wit, by calling, by faith, by justification and sanctification, so that at length we come to glorification, as the Apostle will show afterward. Now all these things, orderly following the purpose of God, do clearly prove that he can by no means seem unjust in loving and saving his. I will be merciful and favorable to whom I list to be favorable. I will have compassion on whomsoever I list to have compassion.

God’s Choice Stands Through the Ancestors
God’s word has not failed; being descended from Abraham does not automatically make one a child of promise. Isaac, not Ishmael, came by promise; Jacob, not Esau, was chosen before birth. “The older will serve the younger”

God Shows Mercy as He Chooses
God told Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy”

Practical Applications:
Trust in God’s Sovereignty
Embrace the truth that God is in control, even when circumstances seem uncertain. Trust that His plans are perfect and His purposes are good.

Embrace God’s Mercy
Recognize that salvation is a gift of God’s mercy. Live with gratitude and humility, knowing that it is not by our works but by His grace that we are saved.

Submit to God’s Will
Like clay in the hands of the potter, be willing to submit to God’s shaping and molding in your life. Allow Him to use you for His purposes, whether for common or special use.

Share the Gospel with All
Understand that God’s plan includes people from every nation. Be proactive in sharing the message of faith and righteousness with both Jews and Gentiles.
(Bible Hub)

Romans Chapter 9 reflects on Israel’s past, God’s sovereignty in salvation, and how righteousness is pursued by faith. Paul laments over Israel’s rejection of Christ but affirms God’s promise enduring through spiritual, not physical descendants.

Note: In New Christian teachings, the Book of Acts and the Epistles are regarded as being good books for the church, and some of them are cited fairly extensively in the Writings for the New Church. However, they don’t contain an internal sense like the four gospels and Revelation do.
