TSK · Romans 9:25

You made Israel your very own people for all time. You, O LORD, became their God.

¶ Superscription This is the LORD’s message that came to Hosea son of Beeri during the time of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the time of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel.

For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.

You once were not a people, but now you are God’s people. You were shown no mercy, but now you have received mercy.
