Romans 11:5-10 In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected. ⁶ But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer. ⁷ How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened. ⁸ And so Scripture says, "GOD HAS GIVEN THEM A SPIRIT OF DROWSINESS--EYES TO SEE NOTHING WITH AND EARS TO HEAR NOTHING WITH--EVEN UNTIL NOW." ⁹ And David says, "LET THEIR VERY FOOD BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP TO THEM, A STUMBLING-BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION. ¹⁰ LET DARKNESS COME OVER THEIR EYES THAT THEY MAY BE UNABLE TO SEE, AND MAKE THOU THEIR BACKS CONTINUALLY TO STOOP."
