Romans 9:27-31
-
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
-
28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
-
29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
-
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
-
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
