And except the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh would have been saved; but for the elect’s sake, whom he chose, he shortened the days.

And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

Και εαν ο Κυριος δεν ηθελε συντεμει τας ημερας εκεινας, δεν ηθελε σωθη ουδεμια σαρξ· αλλα δια τους εκλεκτους, τους οποιους εξελεξε, συνετεμε τας ημερας.

And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
