What, then, shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not seek after justification, have obtained justification, even the justification which is by faith: but Israel, who sought after a law of justification, has not attained to a law of justification.

But what says the answer of God to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. Thus, then, at the present time also, there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if the election is by grace, it is no longer by works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks; but the chosen have obtained it, and the rest have been hardened to this day, as it is written: God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes with which they can not see, and ears with which they can not hear. And David says: Let their table become a trap, and a net, and a snare, and a recompense to them; let their eyes be darkened, so that they may not see, and let them bow down their back always. I say, then, Have they stumbled, in order that they may fall? It can not be. But rather, through their fall, salvation has come to the Gentiles, to excite them to jealousy.
