Verse 27 In the few Romans 9:24-26, the apostle has been showing that some Gentiles were to be saved: he now proceeds to say that some Jews would not be saved.--A remnant; a remnant only; that is, not the whole. The passage, Romans 9:27,28, is quoted from Isaiah 10:22,23, and is to be understood as a threatening of judgment denounced by Isaiah against the Jews.
