greek

Preposition meaning “in”.
Ἰσαὰκ κληθήσεταί σοι σπέρμα.
ESV
and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.”
NIV
Nor because they are his descendants are they all Abraham's children. On the contrary, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.”
NLT
Being descendants of Abraham doesn't make them truly Abraham's children. For the Scriptures say, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted,” though Abraham had other children, too.
KJV
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
