Not that the word of God has failed of being accomplished. For all are not Israel who are of Israel;

But Isaiah cries concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel is as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved;

but Israel who pursued the law of righteousness did not attain to the law of righteousness.

Brothers, the earnest desire and prayer of my heart for Israel is for their salvation.

But I say, did not Israel know? First, Moses says, I will provoke you by that which is not a nation, and by a foolish nation will I excite you to anger.

But in respect to Israel he says, All the day I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know you not what the Scripture says in Elijah, how he intercedes with God against Israel?

What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain, but the election obtained; and the rest were hardened,??8 as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear??o this day.

For I wish you not to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery; that you may not be wise in your own conceit. For hardness in part has come upon Israel, till the fullness of the gentiles shall come in,

and so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, A deliverer shall come from Zion, he shall turn away impiety from Jacob.
