22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.

22 And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

22 God has decided to make that terrible time short. Otherwise, no one would go on living. But God will make that time short to help the people he has chosen.

22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

22 and if those days had not been cut short, no flesh had been saved; but on account of the elect those days shall be cut short.

22 If God does not reduce the number of those days, no one will be saved. But those days will be reduced because of those whom God has chosen. 

22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.

22 And unless those days had been shortened, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened.

22 If the time had not been cut short, no one would live. But because of God’s chosen people, it will be shortened.

22 “Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
