Romans 11:1-12

1I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

3“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”?

4But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

5Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

6And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

7What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

8Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.”

9And David says: “Let their table become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a recompense to them.

10Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, And bow down their back always.”

11I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.

12Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
