Romans 9:28-30
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
28 For the Lord will accomplish[a] His word upon the earth, completing[b] and cutting-short[c]” [in Isa 10:22-23]. 29 And just as Isaiah said-before [in Isa 1:9]: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left-behind a seed for us, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been likened[d] as Gomorrah”.
Israel Pursued a Righteousness Through The Law, And Did Not Attain It
30 Therefore, what shall we say? That Gentiles, the ones not pursuing righteousness, took-hold-of [e] righteousness— but a righteousness by faith.
