KJV
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 Do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our ancestor’; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
See also Luke 3:8 and discussion at Children of Abraham — is it essential to be descended from a literal Adam to have salvation in Jesus Christ, in light of this statement by Jesus himself?
