John 1:47-49

When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, "Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit."  "How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, "I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you." Then Nathanael declared, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel." 

Here truly is an Israelite 
Romans 9:4-5  Theirs [the people of Israel] is the adoption to sonship; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship 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.
Romans 9:6  It is not as though God's word had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel. 

in whom there is no deceit
