For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?

How then was it counted? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

May it never be! We who died to sin, how could we live in it any longer?

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered.

He who didn't spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"

God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?

For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
