Romans 9:28-30
1599 Geneva Bible
28 For he will make his account, and gather it into a [a]short sum with righteousness: for the Lord will make a short count in the earth.
29 (A)And as Isaiah said before, Except the Lord of [b]hosts had left us a [c]seed, we had been made as Sodom, and had been like to Gomorrah.
30 [d]What shall we say then? That the Gentiles which followed [e]not righteousness, have attained unto righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
