Romans 9:28-30

Common English Bible

²⁸ because the Lord does what he says completely and quickly.^[a]

²⁹As Isaiah prophesied,

If the Lord of the heavenly forces had not left descendants for us,
we would have been like Sodom,
and we would have become like Gomorrah.^[b]

³⁰So what are we going to say? Gentiles who weren’t striving for righteousness achieved righteousness, the righteousness that comes from 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)
