Born

Neither, because they are Abraham's seed, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your seed be called."

But

God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

Then he said, "I will certainly return to you when the season comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

The LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did to Sarah as he had spoken.

Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, "So will your seed be."

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the word of faith, which we proclaim:

By faith he received power to procreate when he was past age, and Sarah herself was barren. He regarded him faithful who had promised.
