Romans 9:7

     7-9. Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children—"Not in the line of mere fleshly descent from Abraham does the election run; else Ishmael, Hagar's child, and even Keturah's children, would be included, which they were not."

      but—the true election are such of Abraham's seed as God unconditionally chooses, as exemplified in that promise.

      in Isaac shall thy seed be called— (Ge 21:12).
