Romans 9:6

οὐχ οἷον—ὅτι. A unique combination: cf. Field, ad loc[180] He decides that οὐχ οἶον is in vulgar use a strong negative = nequaquam, ne minimum: ‘It is by no means the fact that.…’

[180] ad loc. ad locum

δὲ contrasts with the implicit thought of Romans 9:4-5 : this wonderful dispensation has not ended in failure on GOD’S part.

ἐκπέπτωκεν. Absolute use not common. Here = to fail of its purpose (cf. Polyb. IV. 82. 8); cf. Sir 31:7, slightly different.

ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ = the utterance of the purpose of GOD, as given in promises and covenants to Israel; cf. John 10:35 : a rare, perhaps unique (S. H.), use in N.T.; for the thought cf. Romans 4:14 = Galatians 3:17.

οὐ γὰρ πάντες κ.τ.λ., blood relationship does not of itself admit to the spiritual position.
