emtv - Romans:11:1-10

emtv@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, has God cast away His people? By no means! For I too am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

emtv@Romans:11:2 @ God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know [what the Scripture says] in Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

emtv@Romans:11:3 @ "LORD, they killed Your prophets and they torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life"?

emtv@Romans:11:4 @ But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

emtv@Romans:11:5 @ So to then, at this present time, there is also a remnant according to the election of grace.

emtv@Romans:11:6 @ And if by grace, [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.

emtv@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained [it], and the rest were blinded.

emtv@Romans:11:8 @ Just 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, down to this very day."

emtv@Romans:11:9 @ And David says: "Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense to them.

emtv@Romans:11:10 @ Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever."
