Romans 9:25-29
Legacy Standard Bible
25 As He says also in Hosea,
“(A)I will call those who were not My people, ‘My people,’
And her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’”
26 “(B)And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of (C)the living God.”
27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, “(D)Though the number of the sons of Israel be (E)like the sand of the sea, it is (F)the remnant that will be saved; 28 (G)for the Lord will execute His word on the land, [a]thoroughly and [b]quickly.” 29 And just as Isaiah foretold,
“(H)Unless (I)the Lord of [c]Sabaoth had left to us a seed,
(J)We would have become like Sodom, and would have [d]resembled Gomorrah.”

Common English Bible
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]
