Romans 9:7-9

New Testament for Everyone

⁷ Nor is it the case that all the children count as “seed of Abraham.” No: “in Isaac shall your seed be named.” ⁸ That means that it isn’t the flesh-and-blood children who are God’s children; rather, it is the children of the promise who will be calculated as “seed.” ⁹ This was what the promise said, you see: “Around this time I shall return, and Sarah shall have a son.”
