On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Grace does not run in the blood; nor are saving benefits inseparably annexed to external church privileges, though it is common for people thus to stretch the meaning of God's promise, to bolster themselves up in a vain hope.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Neither because they are lineally the seed of Abraham, will it follow that they are all children of God - This did not hold even in Abraham's own family; and much less in his remote descendants. But God then said, In Isaac shall thy seed be called - That is, Isaac, not Ishmael, shall be called thy seed; that seed to which the promise is made.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
