If these days of trouble were left to run their course, nobody would make it. But on account of God’s chosen people, the trouble will be cut short.

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.

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

Unless those days were cut short, no one would be saved. But those days will be cut short because of the elect.

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.

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.

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