That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.

That the residue of men - those outside the pale of the Jewish economy,

Might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is (or 'has been') called х epikekleetai (G1941)] - all the Gentiles who, on their believing, should have His name called on them, or, as being now "fellow-citizens with the saints" should be called by his name,

Saith the Lord, who doeth [all] these things. The word "all" here seems clearly a late addition to the text.
