“Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.”
like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear — the specific example of Sarah invoking Genesis 18:12 establishes that the matriarch's submission and respectful address ('lord,' kyrie) represents the pattern. The conditional 'you are her daughters if you do what is right' (agathopoioi) establishes that spiritual lineage derives from virtue, not mere ethnicity.
