'Reject' in the Bible

He said to them, "Full well do you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.

I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

That which was a temptation to you in my flesh, you didn't despise nor reject; but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

Therefore he who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
