Gentiles/heathen » Salvation coming to the gentiles
And the apostles and elders were assembled together to see about this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter rose and said to them, Men and brothers, you know that in former days God chose among you that the gentiles should hear by my mouth the word of the gospel and believe. And the heart-searching God testified to them, giving to them the Holy Spirit even as to us, read more.
and made no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by the faith. Now, therefore, why do you try God, to put on the necks of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we could bear? But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same manner as they.

and disagreeing among themselves they were dismissed by Paul, saying one word; Well did the Holy Spirit speak by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers, saying, Go to this people and say, Hearing you shall hear and not understand, and seeing you shall see and not perceive; for the heart of this people has become hard, and they hear imperfectly with their ears, and they have shut their eyes, lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn, and I should cure them. read more.
Be it known to you, therefore, that the salvation of God is sent to the gentiles, and they will hear it.
Be it known to you, therefore, that the salvation of God is sent to the gentiles, and they will hear it.
What shall we say then? That nations who did not pursue righteousness attained a righteousness, but the righteousness which is by faith; but Israel who pursued the law of righteousness did not attain to the law of righteousness. For what reason? Because they are not of faith, but as it were of works of the law; for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling, read more.
as it is written; Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
as it is written; Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense, and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
I SAY then, has God cast away his people? By no means; for I also am an Israelite, of the race of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 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? Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life. read more.
But what says the response to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So then also at the present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace; but if by grace, no longer by works; for otherwise grace is no longer grace; but if by works, it is no longer grace; for otherwise a work is no longer a work. 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. And David says, Let their table become a trap and a snare and an offense and a stumbling block to them; let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back always. I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means; but by their fall the nations have salvation to excite them to emulation. But if their fall is the riches of the world, and their diminution the riches of nations, how much more will their fullness be. For I speak to you, gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle of the gentiles, I glorify my ministry, if perhaps I may excite my flesh [race] to emulation and save some of them. For if their falling away is the reconciling of the world, what will their recovery be but life from the dead? And if the first fruit is holy, the mass is also; and if the root is holy, the branches also are. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a partaker of the root and excellence of the olive, boast not against the branches; but if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root you. You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. Well; they were broken off by unbelief, and you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear; for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you. See then the goodness and severity of God; towards those that fell, severity, but towards you, the goodness of God, if you continue in goodness, for otherwise you also will be cut off. And they, if they continue not in unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. For if you have been cut from an olive wild by nature, and grafted contrary to nature into a good olive, how much more shall they according to nature be grafted into their own olive. 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. And this is the promise to them from me, when I take away their sins. As to the gospel, they are enemies on your account, but as to the election, they are beloved on account of the fathers; for the gifts and calling of God are without a change of mind. For as you once disobeyed God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, so also they now have disobeyed that they may obtain mercy by your mercy. For God has concluded all in disobedience that he may have mercy on all.
But what says the response to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So then also at the present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace; but if by grace, no longer by works; for otherwise grace is no longer grace; but if by works, it is no longer grace; for otherwise a work is no longer a work. 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. And David says, Let their table become a trap and a snare and an offense and a stumbling block to them; let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back always.

As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed. read more.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them. And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith, but the law is not of faith, but he that does these things shall live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree, that the blessing of Abraham may come on the nations, in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

Be not high-minded, but fear; for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you. See then the goodness and severity of God; towards those that fell, severity, but towards you, the goodness of God, if you continue in goodness, for otherwise you also will be cut off. And they, if they continue not in unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. For if you have been cut from an olive wild by nature, and grafted contrary to nature into a good olive, how much more shall they according to nature be grafted into their own olive. 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. And this is the promise to them from me, when I take away their sins. As to the gospel, they are enemies on your account, but as to the election, they are beloved on account of the fathers; for the gifts and calling of God are without a change of mind. For as you once disobeyed God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, so also they now have disobeyed that they may obtain mercy by your mercy. For God has concluded all in disobedience that he may have mercy on all.
But what says the response to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. So then also at the present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace; but if by grace, no longer by works; for otherwise grace is no longer grace; but if by works, it is no longer grace; for otherwise a work is no longer a work. 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. And David says, Let their table become a trap and a snare and an offense and a stumbling block to them; let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back always. I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means; but by their fall the nations have salvation to excite them to emulation. But if their fall is the riches of the world, and their diminution the riches of nations, how much more will their fullness be. For I speak to you, gentiles. Inasmuch as I am an apostle of the gentiles, I glorify my ministry, if perhaps I may excite my flesh [race] to emulation and save some of them. For if their falling away is the reconciling of the world, what will their recovery be but life from the dead? And if the first fruit is holy, the mass is also; and if the root is holy, the branches also are. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a partaker of the root and excellence of the olive, boast not against the branches; but if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root you.

For God has concluded all in disobedience that he may have mercy on all.
As Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him a righteousness. Know, therefore, that those of faith, these are children of Abraham. And the Scripture foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, promised before to Abraham, In you shall all the nations be blessed. read more.
Those of faith, therefore, are blessed with believing Abraham. For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them. And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith, but the law is not of faith, but he that does these things shall live by them. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree, that the blessing of Abraham may come on the nations, in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

Salvation » The salvation of israel
I SAY then, has God cast away his people? By no means; for I also am an Israelite, of the race of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 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? Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life. read more.
