Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
Neither, because they are Abraham’s offspring, are they all children. But, “your offspring will be accounted as from Isaac.”

In context
4 Who are Israelites: to whom belongeth the adoption as of children and the glory and the testament and the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises:
5 Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel.
7 Neither are all they that are the seed of Abraham, children: but in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are accounted for the seed.
9 For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come. And Sara shall have a son.
10 And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of Isaac our father.
