9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ^a‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from ^bthese stones to raise up children for Abraham.

Luke 16:23-31

23 and in ^cHades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and ^dsaw Abraham far off and Lazarus ^eat his side. 24 And he called out, ^f‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and ^gcool my tongue, for ^hI am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that ⁱyou in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters}—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have ^kMoses and the Prophets; ^llet them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, ^mfather Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear ⁿMoses and the Prophets, ^oneither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

John 8:39-40

You Are of Your Father the Devil

39 They answered him, ^p“Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, ^q“If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did, 40 but now ^ryou seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth ^sthat I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.

Romans 9:6-7

6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham ^tbecause they are his offspring, but ^u“Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.”

Galatians 4:22-31

22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, ^vone by a slave woman and ^wone by a free woman. 23 But ^xthe son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while ^ythe son of the free woman was born through promise. 24 Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two ^zcovenants. ^aaOne is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; ^{▼▼Some manuscripts For Sinai is a mountain in Arabia} she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But ^acthe Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written,

^ad“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, ^{▼▼Some manuscripts we} brothers, ^aflike Isaac, ^agare children of promise. 29 But just as at that time he who was born according to the flesh ^ahpersecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, ^aiso also it is now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? ^aj“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 ^akof the free woman.
