Romans 9:25-33 ( KJV ) ²⁵As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.  ²⁶And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.  ²⁷Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:  ²⁸For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.  ²⁹And 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. ³⁰What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.  ³¹But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.  ³²Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;  ³³As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Hosea 1:10-11 ( KJV ) ¹⁰Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.  ¹¹Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

Isaiah 10:20-23 ( KJV ) ²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.  ²¹The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.  ²²For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.  ²³For the Lord GOD of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land.

Matthew 24:13 ( KJV ) ¹³But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

Romans 14:19-23 ( KJV ) ¹⁹Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.  ²⁰For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.  ²¹It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.  ²²Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.  ²³And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Romans 2:7-8 ( KJV ) ⁷To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:  ⁸But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 

Ephesians 2:8-9 ( KJV ) ⁸For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  ⁹Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

Romans 10:12-17 ( KJV ) ¹²For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.  ¹³For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  ¹⁴How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?  ¹⁵And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!  ¹⁶But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?  ¹⁷So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

Psalms 119:165 ( KJV ) ¹⁶⁵    Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
