6 ^hBut it is not as though the word of God has failed. For ⁱnot all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,

28 For ^pno one is a Jew who is merely one outwardly, nor is circumcision outward and physical. 29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and ^qcircumcision is a matter of the heart, ^rby the Spirit, not by the letter. ^sHis praise is not from man but from God.

16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon ^qthe Israel of God.
