Das ist: nicht sind das Gottes Kinder, die nach dem Fleisch Kinder sind; sondern die Kinder der Verheißung werden für Samen gerechnet.
Quiere decir: No los que son hijos de la carne, éstos son los hijos de Dios; mas los que son hijos de la promesa, son contados en la generación.
Es decir, no son los hijos de la carne los que son hijos de Dios, sino que los hijos de la promesa son contados como descendencia.
c'est-à-dire que ce ne sont pas les enfants de la chair qui sont enfants de Dieu, mais que ce sont les enfants de la promesse qui sont regardés comme la postérité.
Cioè: non quelli che sono i figliuoli della carne, son figliuoli di Dio; ma i figliuoli della promessa son reputati per progenie.
Isto é, não são os filhos da carne que são filhos de Deus, mas os filhos da promessa são contados como descendência.
這就是說,肉身所生的兒女不是上帝的兒女,惟獨那應許的兒女才算是後裔。
