Romans 11:1-12 - A Remnant Of Israel Remains

¹ I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For even I verily am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, and of the tribe of Benjamin; ² God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Either know ye not what the scripture saith by the mouth of Elijah, how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

³ "Lord they have killed thy prophets and digged down thine altars: and I am left only, and they seek my life."

⁴ But what saith the answer of God to him again? "I have reserved unto me seven thousand men which have not bowed their knees to Baal." ⁵ Even so at this time is there a remnant left through the election of grace. ⁶ If it be of grace, then is it not of works. For then were grace no more grace. If it be by the deserving of works, then is it no more grace. For then were deserving no longer deserving.

⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtained that that he sought. No but yet the election hath obtained it. The remnant are blinded, ⁸ according as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of unquietness: eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, even unto this day."

⁹ And David saith, "Let their table be made a snare to take them withal, and an occasion to fall, and a reward unto them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be blinded that they see not: and ever bow down their backs."

¹¹ I say then, Have they therefore stumbled that they should but fall only? God forbid: but through their fall is salvation happened unto the gentiles for to provoke them withal. ¹² Wherefore, if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the gentiles, how much more should it be so if they all believed?
