English Standard Version
7 and not all are children of Abraham (A)because they are his offspring, but (B)“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but (C)the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

Galatians 4:22-31
English Standard Version
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, (A)one by a slave woman and (B)one by a free woman. 23 But (C)the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while (D)the son of the free woman was born through promise. 24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two (E)covenants. (F)One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia;[a] she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But (G)the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written,
(H)“Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear;
break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor!
For the children of the desolate one will be more
than those of the one who has a husband.”
28 Now you,[b] brothers, (I)like Isaac, (J)are children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh (K)persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, (L)so also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? (M)“Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.” 31 So, brothers, we are not children of the slave but (N)of the free woman.

English Standard Version
16 That is why it depends on faith, (A)in order that the promise may rest on grace and (B)be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, (C)who is the father of us all, 17 as it is written, (D)“I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, (E)who gives life to the dead and calls into existence (F)the things that do not exist. 18 In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, (G)“So shall your offspring be.” 19 He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was (H)as good as dead ((I)since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered (J)the barrenness[a] of Sarah's womb. 20 No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21 fully convinced that (K)God was able to do what he had promised.

The Promise Realized Through Faith
13 For (A)the promise to Abraham and his offspring (B)that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith. 14 (C)For if it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void.
