I speak not these things as though the words of God had taken none effect. For they are not all Israelites which came of Israel;

But Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, "Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet shall a remnant be saved.

But Israel, which followed the law of righteousness, could not attain unto the law of righteousness.

Brethren: my heart's desire, and prayer to God for Israel, is that they might be saved.

But I demand whether Israel did know or not? First Moses saith, "I will provoke you for to envy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you."

And against Israel he saith, "All day long have I stretched forth my hands unto a people that believeth not, but speaketh against me."

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,

What then? Israel hath not obtained that that he sought. No but yet the election hath obtained it. The remnant are blinded,

I would not that this secret should be hid from you my brethren, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits: that partly blindness is happened in Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles be come in.

And so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, "There shall come out of Zion he that doth deliver, and shall turn away the ungodliness of Jacob.
