Nine Privileges

2. and to them belong the adoption
3. the glory
4. the covenants
5. the giving of the law
6. the worship
7. To them belong the patriarchs
8. and the promises
9. and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

Three Implications

1. These privileges belong fully and savingly to an elect remnant of Israel now.
