noyes Romans:11:1-10
noyes@Romans:11:1 @ I say then, Hath God cast off his people? Far be it I For I myself am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
noyes@Romans:11:2 @ God hath not cast off his people, which he foreknew. Do ye not know what the Scripture saith in the passage concerning Elijah? how he pleadeth to God against Israel:
noyes@Romans:11:3 @ "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life."
noyes@Romans:11:4 @ But what saith the answer of God to him? "I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
noyes@Romans:11:5 @ In the same way then at this present time also there is a remnant, according to the election of grace.
noyes@Romans:11:6 @ And if it is by grace, it is no longer on account of works; otherwise grace ceaseth to be grace; but if it is of works, there is then no grace; otherwise work ceaseth to be work. How is it then?
noyes@Romans:11:7 @ What Israel seeketh after, that Israel did not obtain; but the elect obtained it, and the rest were hardened;
noyes@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of slumber, eyes that were not to see, and ears that were not to hear, unto this day."
noyes@Romans:11:9 @ And David saith, "Let their table become a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling–block, and a recompense to them;
noyes@Romans:11:10 @ let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see; and bow down their back alway."
