“As Isaiah has said before,“Unless the Lord of Armieshad left us a seed,we would have become like Sodom,and would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Romans 9:29 (WEB)
Context Reading
27Isaiah cries concerning Israel,“If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea,it is the remnant who will be saved; 28for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth.” 29As Isaiah has said before,“Unless the Lord of Armieshad left us a seed,we would have become like Sodom,and would have been made like Gomorrah.” 30What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn’t follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith; 31but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn’t arrive at the law of righteousness.
