  • Rom 9:7-8 : 7 Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall your descendants be called. 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.

For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar. 25 For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written: 'Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband.' 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? 'Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.' 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

  • Rom 4:12-14 : 12 And the father of circumcision to those who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had while still uncircumcised. 13 For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham, or to his descendants, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14 For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise nullified.
