And 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.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

9:26 said unto them. Still quoting Hosea (Hosea 2:23), Paul again applies the principle to God’s calling of a remnant from the Gentiles, who had been set aside as a whole after the rebellion at Babel. Hosea had applied it to the remnant of Israel, who as a nation had been set aside, first in the Assyro/Babylonian captivity and then more rigorously in her worldwide dispersion when she rejected their Messiah. God is now “[visiting] the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for His name” (Acts 15:14).
