I say then, Hath God cast off his people? Far be it I For I myself am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast off his people, which he foreknew. Do ye not know what the Scripture saith in the passage concerning Elijah? how he pleadeth to God against Israel: "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life." read more.
But what saith the answer of God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace. And if it is by grace, it is no longer on account of works; otherwise grace ceaseth to be grace; but if it is of works, there is then no grace; otherwise work ceaseth to be work. How is it then? What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened; as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that were not to see, and ears that were not to hear, unto this day." And David saith, "Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense to them; let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway." I say then, Did they stumble in order to fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the gentiles to excite them to emulation. But if their offence is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more will their fullness be? For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office, that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them. For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what will the reception of them be, but life from the dead? And if the first portion of the dough is holy, so also will be the lump; and if the root is holy, so will be the branches. And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olivetree,

What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened; as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that were not to see, and ears that were not to hear, unto this day." And David saith, "Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense to them; let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway." I say then, Did they stumble in order to fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the gentiles to excite them to emulation. But if their offence is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the gentiles, how much more will their fullness be? For I am speaking to you gentiles; inasmuch as I am the apostle of the gentiles, I magnify my office, that I may, if possible, excite to emulation those who are my flesh, and may save some of them. For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what will the reception of them be, but life from the dead? And if the first portion of the dough is holy, so also will be the lump; and if the root is holy, so will be the branches. And if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou, a wild olive, hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker with them of the root and fatness of the olivetree,
Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a partaking of the blood of Christ? the loaf which we break, is it not a partaking of the body of Christ? read more.

Let all who are under the yoke as bondservants count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they who receive the benefit are faithful and beloved. These things teach and exhort.
Beloved, be not surprised at the fiery trial which is taking place among you to prove you, as though a strange thing were befalling you; but, in so far as ye share in Christs sufferings, rejoice; that also at the manifestation of his glory ye may rejoice with exceeding joy. If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you.

And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew by hanging him on a cross. read more.

To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name every one that believeth in him shall receive forgiveness of sins.

The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not. He came to his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God,to those who believed in his name; who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father.

For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself. And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation. I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth. But the testimony which I receive is not from man; but these things I say, that ye may be saved. He was the burning and shining lamp: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father who sent me, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form. And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not. Ye search the Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life. I receive not honor from men; but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Fathers name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God? Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself. And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice, and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

Ye search the Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life. I receive not honor from men; but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I have come in my Fathers name, and ye receive me not; if another come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God? Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope. For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
They therefore, having come together, asked him, saying, Lord, art thou at this time about to restore the kingdom to Israel? But he said to them, It belongeth not to you to know times or seasons, which the Father appointed by his own authority. But ye will receive power when the Holy Spirit hath come upon you; and ye will be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth. read more.
And having thus spoken, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were looking earnestly into heaven as he went up, lo! two men stood by them in white apparel, who said, Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This Jesus, who hath been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same manner in which ye beheld him going into heaven.

And as he held fast to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch that is called Solomons greatly wondering. But Peter seeing it, answered the people: Men of Israel, why wonder ye at this? Or why look ye earnestly on us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man to walk? The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye indeed delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to release him. read more.

through which he hath given us exceedingly great and precious promises, that by these ye may become partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world through lust; even for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge selfcontrol, and to selfcontrol endurance, and to endurance godliness, and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are in you and abound, they make you neither inactive nor unfruitful in gaining the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things, ye will never fall. For in this way the entrance will be richly furnished you into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I shall be careful always to remind you of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth that is with you. Yea, I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by reminding you; knowing that I must soon put off my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ declared to me. Moreover I shall endeavor that at all times ye may be able, after my departure, to call these things to mind. For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but had been made eyewitnesses of his majesty.
