22  What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction.

23  And that He might known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 

24  Even us whom He called, not of Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

25  As He says also in Hosea; "I will call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.” 

26 “And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people, there they shall be called sons of the living God."

27 Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel; "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved. 

28 For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness, because the LORD will make a short work upon the earth." 

29 And as Isaiah said before: "Unless the LORD of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.”
