Commentary on Romans, Book IX · §1

Not all from Israel are Israel

Not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel. Not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring — Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.

Latin

Non enim omnes qui ex Israel, hi sunt Israelitae; neque quia sunt semen Abrahae, omnes filii. In Isaac vocabitur tibi semen — non filii carnis hi filii Dei.
