ગુજરાતીરોમનોને પત્ર ૯:૮
એટલે જેઓ દૈહિક સંતાનો છે, તેઓ ઈશ્વરનાં સંતાનો છે એમ નહિ; પણ જેઓ વચનનાં સંતાનો છે, તેઓ જ વંશ ગણાય છે.
हिन्दीरोमियों ९:८
अर्थात् शरीर की सन्तान परमेश्वर की सन्तान नहीं, परन्तु प्रतिज्ञा के सन्तान वंश गिने जाते हैं।

In context

6But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel that are of Israel.

7Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”

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

9For this is a word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.”

10Not only so, but Rebekah also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
