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

¹ I say, then, did God cast off His people? It could not be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God did not cast off His people whom He foreknew. Or know ye not what the Scripture says of Elijah? how he pleads with God against Israel:

³ "Lord, they have killed Thy prophets, they have digged down Thy altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my soul."

⁴ But what says the answer of God to him? "I left for Myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." ⁵ Even so, then, at this present time also, a remnant, according to an election of grace, has been reserved. ⁶ But, if by grace, it is no longer of works; otherwise the grace becomes no longer grace. [But, if of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise, the work is no longer work.]

⁷ What, then? What Israel is seeking for, this he did not obtain; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened; ⁸ as it has been written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day."

⁹ And David says, "Let their table be a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them: ¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always."

¹¹ I Say, then, did they stumble, that they might fall? It could not be! But by their trespass salvation has come to the gentiles to provoke them to rivalry. ¹² Now, if their trespass is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more their fulness?
