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.”

and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.”

Being 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.

Neither is it the case that all of Abraham’s children are his descendants.  , On the contrary, your offspring will be traced   through Isaac.  

neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.”

Don’t suppose for a moment, though, that God’s Word has malfunctioned in some way or other. The problem goes back a long way. From the outset, not all Israelites of the flesh were Israelites of the spirit. 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”? That means that Israelite identity was never racially determined by sexual transmission, but it was God-determined by promise. Remember that promise, “When I come back next year at this time, Sarah will have a son”?

nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants, but: “THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE NAMED.”

and they are not all the children of Abraham because they are his descendants [by blood], but [the promise was]: “YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED THROUGH ISAAC” [though Abraham had other sons]. [Gen 21:9-12]

nor are all the children Abraham’s true descendants; rather “ through Isaac will your descendants be counted .”
