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.

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.

Yahweh visited Sarah as he had said, and Yahweh 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 preach:

By faith, even Sarah herself received power to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past age, since she counted him faithful who had promised.
