²⁵ Remember what the prophecy of Hosea says? There God says that he will find other children for himself (who are not from his Jewish family) and will love them, though no one had ever loved them before. ²⁶ And the heathen, of whom it once was said, “You are not my people,” shall be called “sons of the Living God.”^[a]

²⁷ Isaiah the prophet cried out concerning the Jews that though there would be millions^[b] of them, only a small number would ever be saved.
