Romans 9:25-29
English Standard Version
25 As indeed he says in Hosea,
(A)“Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’
and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’”
26 (B)“And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called (C)‘sons of the living God.’”
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: (D)“Though the number of the sons of Israel[a] be as the sand of the sea, (E)only a remnant of them will be saved, 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” 29 And as Isaiah predicted,
(F)(G)“If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring,
(H)we would have been like Sodom
and become like Gomorrah.”

25 As it says also in Hosea,
I will call “my people” those who aren’t my people,
and the one who isn’t well loved, I will call “loved one.”[a]
26 And in the place where it was said to them,
“You aren’t my people,”
there they will be called “the living God’s children.”[b]
27 But Isaiah cries out for Israel,
Though the number of Israel’s children will be like the sand of the sea,
only a remaining part will be saved,
28 because the Lord does what he says completely and quickly.[c]
29 As Isaiah prophesied,
If the Lord of the heavenly forces had not left descendants for us,
we would have been like Sodom,
and we would have become like Gomorrah.[d]
