Romans 9:28-30

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁸The Lord will carry out his sentence on the land,
completely and decisively.”

²⁹This is what Isaiah predicted:

“If the Lord of Armies hadn’t left us some descendants,
we would have been like Sodom and Gomorrah.”

³⁰So what can we say? We can say that non-Jewish people who were not trying to gain God’s approval won his approval, an approval based on faith.

Romans 9:28-30

New International Version

²⁸For the Lord will carry out
his sentence on earth with speed and finality.”^[a]^(A)

²⁹It is just as Isaiah said previously:

“Unless the Lord Almighty^(B)
had left us descendants,
we would have become like Sodom,
we would have been like Gomorrah.”^[b]^(C)

³⁰What then shall we say?^(D) That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;^(E)
