6 Notwithstanding it can not bee that the worde of God should take none effect: for all they are not Israel, which are of Israel:

7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seede of Abraham: but, In Isaac shall thy seede be called:

8 That is, they which are the children of the flesh, are not the children of God: but the children of the promise, are counted for the seede.
