Romans 9:29

---

← Romans 9:28	Romans 9:29 (KJV)	Romans 9:30 →
For he will finish the work, and cut [it] short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.	And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.	What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
