26. And it shall be, in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people; there they shall be called the sons of the living God.
27. And Isaias crieth out concerning Israel: If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved.

31. But Israel, by following after the law of justice, is not come unto the law of justice.
