what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed -- and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.

Israel

and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.

for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it.

But the election

So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been;

And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

and that He might make known the riches of His glory on vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom also He did call -- us --

according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,

And we -- we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,

according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied!

And the rest

Declare fat the heart of this people, And its ears declare heavy, And its eyes declare dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And with its ears hear, and its heart consider, And it hath turned back, and hath health.'

They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely.

and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,

'He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'

but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn -- which in Christ is being made useless --

in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God;

and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

Blinded

so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom He willeth, He doth harden.
