What then? ro 3

What am I saying then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

Israel

but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness.

For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

Then will they call on me, but I will not answer. They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me;

"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able.

For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.

But the election

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.

and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory,

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without blemish before him in love;

But we are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief in the truth;

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.

And the rest

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed."

They don't know, neither do they consider: for he has shut their eyes, that they can't see; and their hearts, that they can't understand.

In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, 'By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:

"He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them."

But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

and with all deception of wickedness for those who are being lost, because they didn't receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Blinded

So then, he has mercy on whom he desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
