Rom.9.7
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Rom.9.7
It wasn't Abraham's sperm that gave identity here, but God's promise. Remember how it was put: "Your family will be defined by Isaac"?
Rom.9.7
Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, "It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned."
Rom.9.7
nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."
Rom.9.7
Just the fact that they are descendants of Abraham doesn't make them truly Abraham's children. For the Scriptures say, "Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted," though Abraham had other children, too.
