What then? ro 3

Therefore, what am I saying? That food sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

{What is the result?} Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. But also I will rejoice,

Israel

But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, did not attain to the law.

For ignoring the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

then they will call me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but not find me.

"Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able to,

For you know that also afterwards, [when he] wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, because he did not find an occasion for repentance, although he sought it with tears.

But the election

So in this way also at the present time, there is a remnant {selected by grace}.

And we know that all [things] work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to [his] purpose,

And [he did so] in order that he could make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy that he prepared beforehand for glory,

just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, [that] we should be holy and blameless before him in love,

But we ought to give thanks to God always concerning you, brothers [dearly] loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you [as] first fruits for salvation by the sanctification of the Spirit and faith in the truth,

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and [for] sprinkling with the blood of Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

And the rest

Make the heart of this people insensitive, and make its ears unresponsive, and shut its eyes so that it may not look with its eyes and listen with its ears and comprehend [with] its mind and turn back, and it may be healed [for] him."

They do not know, and they do not understand, for their eyes [are] besmeared {so that they cannot see}, their {minds} {so that they have no insight}.

and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says, "{You will listen carefully} and will never understand, and {you will look closely} and will never perceive.

"He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with [their] eyes and understand with [their] hearts and turn, and I heal them."

But their minds were hardened. For until this very day, the same veil remains upon the reading of the old covenant, not being uncovered, because it is done away with in Christ.

among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that they would not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

and with every unrighteous deception against those who are perishing, in place of which they did not accept the love of the truth, so that they would be saved.

Blinded

Consequently therefore, he has mercy on whomever he wishes, and he hardens whomever he wishes.

General references

But Yahweh has not given to you a heart to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear, [even] {to this day}.

(They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)
