and in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” there they will be called “sons of the living God.”’”​—Rom. 9:21-26; note also 1 Peter 2:9, 10.

The apostle Paul made his quotations from the Greek Septuagint Version renderings of Hosea 1:10 and Ho 2:23. There we read: “But it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people, they shall be called children of the Living God.”
