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]

Romans 9:25-29
International Standard Version

25 As the Scripture[a] says in Hosea,

“Those who are not my people
    I will call my people,
and the one who was not loved
    I will call my loved one.[b]
26 In the very place where it was told them,
    ‘You are not my people,’
        they will be called children of the living God.”[c]

27 Isaiah also calls out concerning Israel,

“Although the descendants of Israel
    are as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore,
        only a few will be saved.
28 For the Lord[d] will carry out his plan decisively,
    bringing it to completion on the earth.”[e]

29 It is just as Isaiah predicted:

“If the Lord of the Heavenly Armies
    had not left us some descendants,
        we would have become like Sodom
        and would have been compared to Gomorrah.”[f]
