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

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

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.
