Romans 9:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 That is, it is not the children by physical descent[a] who are God’s children,(A) but the children of the promise(B) are considered to be the offspring. 9 For this is the statement of the promise: At this time I will come, and Sarah will have a son.(C)[b] 10 And not only that,(D) but also Rebekah received a promise when she became pregnant[c](E) by one man, our ancestor Isaac.

Romans 9:8-10
New International Version
8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God’s children,(A) but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham’s offspring.(B) 9 For this was how the promise was stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”[a](C)
10 Not only that, but Rebekah’s children were conceived at the same time by our father Isaac.(D)
