Romans 9:25-29
1599 Geneva Bible
25 [a]As he saith also in Hosea, (A)I will call them, My people, which were not my people: and her, Beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall be in the place where it was said unto them, (B)Ye are not my people, that there they shall be called, The children of the living God.
27 [b]Also Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, (C)Though the number of the children of Israel were as the sand of the sea, yet shall but a remnant be saved.
28 For he will make his account, and gather it into a [c]short sum with righteousness: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
29 (D)And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of [d]hosts had left us a [e]seed, we had been made as Sodom, and had been like to Gomorrah.

- Romans 9:25 Our vocation or calling is free and of grace, even as our predestination is: and therefore there is no cause why either our own unworthiness, or the unworthiness of our ancestors should cause us to think that we are not the elect and chosen of God, if we be called of him, and so embrace through faith the salvation that is offered us.
- Romans 9:27 Contrariwise, Neither any outward general calling, neither any worthiness of our ancestors is a sufficient witness of election, unless by faith and belief we answer God’s calling: which thing came to pass in the Jews, as the Lord had forewarned.
- Romans 9:28 God purposeth to bring the unkind and unthankful people to an extreme fewness.
- Romans 9:29 Armies, by which word the chiefest power that is, is given to God.
- Romans 9:29 Even a very few.
