“Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;”
Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen. — The πατριάρχαι (patriarchai, "patriarchs") belong to Israel; from their lineage emerged the Messiah (ὁ Χριστός, ho Christos). The phrase "God over all, forever praised" (ὁ ὢν ἐπὶ πάντων θεὸς εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας, ho ōn epi pantōn theos eulogētos eis tous aiōnas) is a doxology affirming Christ's deity and honor. Israel bore and birthed the Messiah.
