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

¹ I say then, Hath God cast off his people? God forbid! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God hath not cast off his people, whom He foreknew. Do ye not know what the scripture saith of Elias? how he complains to God against Israel,

³ saying, "Lord, they have slain thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."

⁴ But what saith the oracle of God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." ⁵ And so in the present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ And if by grace, it is no more of works: for then grace is no longer grace. But if of works, it is no more grace: for then work is no longer work.

⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he sought: but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded, ⁸ (according as it is written, God hath given them a spirit of slumber, that their eyes could not see and their ears could not hear,) even unto this day.

⁹ And David saith, Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompence unto them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and always bow down their back.

¹¹ Say I then, Have they stumbled, that they should fall irrecoverably? God forbid! but this I say, that by their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles to excite them to emulation. ¹² Now if their fall be the riches of the world, and their diminution be the riches of the Gentiles, how much more will their fulness be?
