Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all are Israel which are of Israel;

But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:

But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to that law.

But I say, Has not Israel known? First, Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy through them that are not a nation: through a nation without understanding I will anger you.

But unto Israel he says, All the day long I have stretched out my hands unto a people disobeying and opposing.

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in the history of Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

What is it then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;

and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
