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:

“Unless the Lord Almighty(F)
    had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
    we would have been like Gomorrah.”[d](G)

Romans 9:25-29
New Living Translation

25 Concerning the Gentiles, God says in the prophecy of Hosea,

“Those who were not my people,
    I will now call my people.
And I will love those
    whom I did not love before.”[a]

26 And,

“Then, at the place where they were told,
    ‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called
    ‘children of the living God.’”[b]

27 And concerning Israel, Isaiah the prophet cried out,

“Though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore,
    only a remnant will be saved.
28 For the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth
    quickly and with finality.”[c]

29 And Isaiah said the same thing in another place:

“If the Lord of Heaven’s Armies
    had not spared a few of our children,
we would have been wiped out like Sodom,
    destroyed like Gomorrah.”[d]
