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

¹ I ask then, has God rejected his people? May it never be. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

³ "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."

⁴ But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." ⁵ Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.

⁷ What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened. ⁸ According as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day."

⁹ David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always."

¹¹ I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be. But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. ¹² Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
