Commentary
In this section, Paul continues the argument he started in 9v6 "not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel" , 9v7 "and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” and 9v8 "it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring" , Showing, that God's elect (the new Israel or the children of Abraham according to the Promise, that is vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory in order to make known the riches of God's glory v23 ) are both from the gentiles (v24-26) and from the Jews, that is ethnic Israel (v27-29) . In order to establish this argument, Paul appeals to the Old Testament (Hos 2:23, 1:10) to show how God through the prophets had spoken about the inclusion of the Gentiles into his redemption plan. He Also shows from Isaiah 10:22-23 that in God's foreplan, only the elect from ethnic Israel would be saved. Summarily, Paul argues that only the elect from ethnic Israel, and from other gentile nations will be saved. Hence, we can conclude that God has not been unjust to the Israelites, neither has he been to the Jews or to Israel.
