Romans 9:8

MSG

NIV

8 That means that Israelite identity was never racially determined by sexual transmission, but it was God-determined by promise.
8 In 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.
