And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, even by our father Isaac--

'And not only so' -'Nor is that all' (TCNT). 'Paul had said plenty already but there was more to come. Suppose it were possible to get around the Ishmael rejection by claiming he was illegitimate, what of the two sons of Isaac? The same two issues are raised again; fleshly connection isn't the whole issue..'

'by one, even by our father Isaac' -though one father. 'So the Jewish objectors can't claim illegitimacy here. God chose between two people from the very same family' (McGuiggan p. 289)
