Romans 11:1-10

1I askG3004 thenG3767, did GodG2316 rejectG3361G683 HisG846 peopleG2992? Certainly notG3361G1096! IG1473 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475 myself, a descendantG1537G4690 of AbrahamG11, from the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958. 2GodG2316 did not rejectG3756G683 HisG846 peopleG2992, whomG3739 He foreknewG4267. Do you not knowG3756G1492 whatG5101 theG3588 ScriptureG1124 saysG3004 aboutG1722 ElijahG2243, howG5613 he appealedG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474: 3“LordG2962, they have killedG615 YourG4771 prophetsG4396 and torn downG2679 YourG4771 altarsG2379. IG2504 am the only oneG3441 leftG5275, andG2532 they are seekingG2212 myG1473 lifeG5590 as well”1?

4And whatG5101 was theG3588 divine replyG5538G3004 to himG846? “I have reservedG2641 for MyselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435 whoG3748 have notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to BaalG896.”2

5In the same wayG3779G3767G2532, atG1722 theG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 chosen byG2596G1589 graceG5485. 6AndG1161 ifG1487 it is by graceG5485, then it is no longerG3765 byG1537 worksG2041. OtherwiseG1893, graceG5485 would no longerG3765 beG1096 graceG5485.3

7WhatG5101 thenG3767? WhatG3739 IsraelG2474 was seekingG1934, it failed to obtainG3756G2013, butG1161 theG3588 electG1589 did. TheG3588 othersG3062 were hardenedG4456, 8asG2531 it is writtenG1125:

“GodG2316 gaveG1325 themG846 a spiritG4151 of stuporG2659,eyesG3788 thatG3588 could not seeG3361G991,andG2532 earsG3775 thatG3588 could not hearG3361G191,toG2193 this very dayG4594G2250.”4

9AndG2532 DavidG1138 saysG3004:

“May theirG846 tableG5132 becomeG1096G1519 a snareG3803 andG2532 a trapG2339,a stumbling blockG4625 andG2532 a retributionG468 to themG846.10May theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654 so they cannot seeG3361G3588G991,andG2532 theirG846 backsG3577 be bentG4781 foreverG1223G3956.”5
