9:25 - [In Context |Original Greek ]As He says also in Hosea, "I WILL CALL THOSE WHO WERE NOT MY PEOPLE, 'MY PEOPLE,' AND HER WHO WAS NOT BELOVED, 'BELOVED.' "
9:26 - [In Context |Original Greek ]"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 THE R451 LIVING GOD."
9:27 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Isaiah cries out concerning Israel, "THOUGH THE NUMBER OF THE SONS OF ISRAEL BE LIKE R452 THE SAND OF THE SEA, IT IS THE R453 REMNANT THAT WILL BE SAVED;
9:28 - [In Context |Original Greek ]FOR R454 THE LORD WILL EXECUTE HIS WORD ON THE EARTH, THOROUGHLY F160 AND QUICKLY." F161
9:29 - [In Context |Original Greek ]And just as Isaiah foretold, "UNLESS THE R455 LORD OF SABAOTH F162 HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, F163 WE R456 WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED F164 GOMORRAH."
9:30 - [In Context |Original Greek ]What R457 shall we say then? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained righteousness, even the R458 righteousness which is by F165 faith;
9:31 - [In Context |Original Greek ]but Israel, pursuing R459 a law of righteousness, did not arrive R460 at {that} law.
9:32 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Why? Because {they did} not {pursue it} by F166 faith, but as though {it were} by F166 works. They stumbled over the R461 stumbling stone,
9:33 - [In Context |Original Greek ]just as it is written, "BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A R462 STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE, AND R463 HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL R464 NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." F167
