Romans 11:1-12 I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin: ² God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have you not known -- in Elijah -- what the Writing says? how he does plead with God concerning Israel, saying, ³ 'Lord, Your prophets they did kill, and Your altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;' ⁴ but what says the divine answer to him? 'I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.' ⁵ So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there has been; ⁶ and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becomes no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work. ⁷ What then? What Israel does seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened, ⁸ according as it has been written, 'God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,' -- unto this very day, ⁹ and David says, 'Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them; ¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do You always bow down.' ¹¹ I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy; ¹² and if the fall of them is the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?
