Romans 9:25-29
New International Version
25 As he says in Hosea:
“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”[a](A)
26 and,
“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”[b](B)
27 Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:
“Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,(C)
only the remnant will be saved.(D)
28 For the Lord will carry out
his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”[c](E)
29 It is just as Isaiah said previously:

Romans 9:25-29
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]
