27. And Isaiah exclaims about Israel: “Even if the people of Israel are as many as the grains of sand by the sea, yet only a few of them will be saved;
28. for the Lord will quickly settle his full account with the world.”
29. It is as Isaiah had said before, “If the Lord Almighty had not left us some descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.”
30. So we say that the Gentiles, who were not trying to put themselves right with God, were put right with him through faith;
31. while God's people, who were seeking a law that would put them right with God, did not find it.
