Romans 9:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Neither are they all children, because they are the seed of Abraham: (A)[a]but, In [b]Isaac shall thy seed be called:
8 [c]That is, they which are the children of the [d]flesh, are not the children of God: but the (B)children of the [e]promise, are counted for the seed.
9 [f]For this is a word of promise, (C)In this same time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.

- Romans 9:7 The first proof is taken from the example of Abraham’s own house, wherein Isaac only was counted the son, and that by God’s ordinance: although that Ishmael also was born of Abraham, and circumcised before Isaac.
- Romans 9:7 Isaac shall be thy true and natural son, and therefore heir of thy blessing.
- Romans 9:8 A general application of the former proof or example.
- Romans 9:8 Which are born of Abraham by the course of nature.
- Romans 9:8 Which are born by virtue of the promise.
- Romans 9:9 A reason of that application: Because that Isaac was born by the virtue of the promise, and therefore he was not chosen, nay he was not at all, but by the free will of God: whereby it followeth that the promise is the fountain of predestination, and not the flesh from which promise the particular election proceedeth: that is, that the elect be born elect: and not that they be first born and then afterward elected, in respect of God who doth predestinate.
