7-9. Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all
children--"Not in the line of mere fleshly descent from Abraham does
the election run; else Ishmael, Hagar's child, and even Keturah's
children, would be included, which they were not."
but--the true election are such of Abraham's seed as God
unconditionally chooses, as exemplified in that promise.
in Isaac shall thy seed be called--
(Ge 21:12).
