Bible verses about "remnant" | Haweis

¹ I SAY then, Hath God rejected his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God hath not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession with God against Israel, saying, ³ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I only am left, and they seek my life." ⁴ But what saith the oracle of God to him? "I have left to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." ⁵ So then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ But if by grace, it is no more by works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if by works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. ⁷ What then is the result? Israel hath not obtained that which it seeketh; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded, ⁸ as it is written, "God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear; unto this present day." ⁹ And David saith, "Let their table be for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompence unto them: ¹⁰ let their eyes be blinded, that they may not see, and bow down their back continually." ¹¹ I say then, Have they stumbled so as to fall? God forbid: but by their stumbling salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. ¹² For if their stumbling is the riches of the world, and their diminution the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? ¹³ For I address myself to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am indeed the apostle of the Gentiles, I exalt my ministry: ¹⁴ if by any means I might provoke to jealousy my flesh, and save some of them. ¹⁵ For if the rejection of them is the reconciliation of the world, what shall their recovery be, but life from the dead? ¹⁶ Now if the first fruits be holy, so is the mass: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. ¹⁷ But if some of the branches have been broken off, and thou though a wild olive hast been grafted in among them, and become a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree; ¹⁸ boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. ¹⁹ Wilt thou say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in? ²⁰ Admitted; by unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: ²¹ for if God spared not the native branches, tremble lest he spare not thee. ²² Behold therefore the kindness and severity of God: to those indeed who fell, severity; but unto thee, kindness, if thou continuest in that kindness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. ²³ But they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if thou hast been cut out of the naturally wild olive, and contrary to nature hast been grafted into the good olive: how much more shall these, which are native branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? ²⁵ For I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is come on Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, "The Deliverer shall go forth out of Sion, and shalt turn away ungodliness from Jacob; ²⁷ and this is my covenant with them, When I shall take away their sins." ²⁸ As concerning the gospel indeed, they are now enemies for your sakes: as concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake. ²⁹ For unchangeable are the gifts and the calling of God. ³⁰ For as ye also in times past did not believe in God, but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief: ³¹ so also these now have not believed in your mercy, that they also might obtain mercy. ³² For God hath shut up all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. ³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and how incomprehensible his ways! ³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been admitted his counsellor? ³⁵ Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be repaid him again? ³⁶ Because by him, and through him, and for him, are all things, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

²⁷ But Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, "Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

⁵ So then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
