7 (A)nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, (B)“In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but (C)the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: (D)“At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son.”

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.”[a](A) 8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(B) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(C) 9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[b](D)
