* I say (5719 ) then , Hath God cast away (5662 ) his people ? God forbid (5636 ). For I also am (5748 ) an Israelite , of the seed of Abraham , of the tribe of Benjamin . * God hath not cast away (5662 ) his people which he foreknew (5656 ). Wot ye (5758 ) not what the scripture saith (5719 ) of Elias ? how he maketh intercession (5719 ) to God against Israel , saying (5723 ), * Lord , they have killed (5656 ) thy prophets , and digged down (5656 ) thine altars ; and I am left (5681 ) alone , and they seek (5719 ) my life . * But what saith (5719 ) the answer of God unto him ? I have reserved (5627 ) to myself seven thousand men , who have not bowed (5656 ) the knee to the image of Baal . * Even so then at this present time also there is (5754 ) a remnant according to the election of grace . * And if by grace , then is it no more of works : otherwise grace is (5736 ) no more grace . But if it be of works , then is it (5748 ) no more grace : otherwise work is (5748 ) no more work . * What then ? Israel hath not obtained (5627 ) that which he seeketh for (5719 ); but the election hath obtained it (5627 ), and the rest were blinded (5681 ) * (According as it is written (5769 ), God hath given (5656 ) them the spirit of slumber , eyes that they should not see (5721 ), and ears that they should not hear (5721 );) unto this day . * And David saith (5719 ), Let their table be made (5676 ) a snare , and a trap , and a stumblingblock , and a recompence unto them : * Let their eyes be darkened (5682 ), that they may not see (5721 ), and bow down (5657 ) their back alway . * I say (5719 ) then , Have they stumbled (5656 ) that they should fall (5632 )? God forbid (5636 ): but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles , for to provoke them to jealousy (5658 ). * Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world , and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles ; how much more their fulness ? * For I speak (5719 ) to you Gentiles , inasmuch as I am (5748 ) the apostle of the Gentiles , I magnify (5719 ) mine office : * If by any means I may provoke to emulation (5661 ) them which are my flesh , and might save (5661 ) some of them . * For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world , what shall the receiving of them be , but life from the dead ? * For if the firstfruit be holy , the lump is also holy : and if the root be holy , so are the branches . * And if some of the branches be broken off (5681 ), and thou , being (5752 ) a wild olive tree , wert graffed in (5681 ) among them , and with them (5633 ) partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree ; * Boast not against (5737 ) the branches . But if thou boast (5736 ), thou bearest (5719 ) not the root , but the root thee . * Thou wilt say (5692 ) then , The branches were broken off (5681 ), that I might be graffed in (5686 ). * Well ; because of unbelief they were broken off (5681 ), and thou standest (5758 ) by faith . Be not highminded (5720 ), but fear (5737 ): * For if God spared (5662 ) not the natural branches , take heed lest he also spare (5667 ) not thee .
