Romans 9:8

8In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.

8That is, it is not the children of the flesh 9:8 Lit thesewho are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as 9:8 Lit seeddescendants.

8That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.

8That is, it is not the children of the body [Abraham’s natural descendants] who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are counted as [Abraham’s true] descendants.

8So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.

8In other words, God’s children are not just in the family line of Abraham. Instead, they are the children God promised to him. They are the ones considered to be Abraham’s children.
