Romans 9:9
For this is the word of promise: “At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.”
For this is a word of promise, According to this season will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
For this is what the promise said: “About this time [next year] I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.”
For this is what the promise said, About this time [next year] will I return and Sarah shall have a son.
For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sara shall have a son.
For this is the statement of the promise: At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.
The words in the promise were: A year from now I will return, and Sarah will have a son.
For this is what the promise said: “At the time set, I will come; and Sarah will have a son.”
Sarah, “At this time next year I will return, and you will already have a son.”
For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
For the word of promise is this: “I will come at this time, and there will be a son to Sarah” [Gen 18:10].
For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come; and Sara shall have a son.
Here is what God said in that promise: “About this time next year I will come back, and Sarah will have a son.”

God’s promise to Abraham was this: “At the right time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”

That means that it is not the natural descendants who automatically inherit the promise, but, on the contrary, that the children of the promise (i.e. sons of God) are to be considered truly Abraham’s children. For it was a promise when God said: ‘At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son’. (Everybody, remember, thought it quite impossible for Sarah to have a child.) And then, again, a word of promise came to Rebecca, at the time when she was pregnant with two children by the one man, Isaac our forefather. It came before the children were born or had done anything good or bad, plainly showing that God’s act of choice has nothing to do with achievements, good or bad, but is entirely a matter of his will. The promise was: ‘The older shall serve the younger’.
For the word of the promise is this, At this time I will come, and Sara shall have a son.

Don’t suppose for a moment, though, that God’s Word has malfunctioned in some way or other. The problem goes back a long way. From the outset, not all Israelites of the flesh were Israelites of the spirit. It wasn’t Abraham’s sperm that gave identity here, but God’s promise. Remember how it was put: “Your family will be defined by Isaac”? That means that Israelite identity was never racially determined by sexual transmission, but it was God-determined by promise. Remember that promise, “When I come back next year at this time, Sarah will have a son”?

for the word of promise [is] this; `According to this time I will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.'
