What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

What then shall we say? [There is] no injustice with God, [is there]? May it never be!

Therefore I say, God has not rejected his people, has he? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, from the descendants of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
