Pelagius, on Rom 9:8

Pelagius · c. A.D. 354–420

Rom 9:8 · Douay-Rheims

“That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh, are the children of God; buy they, that are the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.”

On this verse:

“Ishmael was born of a maidservant by sexual intercourse, but Isaac was begotten by supernatural means from old people, by God's promise. So the promise, which Abraham's faith merited, now makes Christians sons of Abraham, so that Abraham is indeed the father of many nations.”
