Romans 9:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴Whether Jews or Gentiles, we are those chosen ones, ²⁵^(A) just as the Lord says in the book of Hosea,

“Although they are not
my people,
I will make them my people.
I will treat with love
those nations
that have never been loved.

²⁶^(B) “Once they were told,
‘You are not my people.’
But in that very place
they will be called
children of the living God.”

Romans 9:24-26

²⁴even us, whom he also called,^(A) not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?^(B) ²⁵As he says in Hosea:

“I will call them ‘my people’ who are not my people;
and I will call her ‘my loved one’ who is not my loved one,”^[a]^(C)

²⁶and,

“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘You are not my people,’
there they will be called ‘children of the living God.’”^[b]^(D)
