Matthew 24:22

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

Unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved. But for the sake of the chosen ones, those days will be shortened.

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

And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be shortened.

If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be cut short.
