Romanos

  • Israel Is Not Cast Away

  • |Romanos 11:1| I say then, has God rejected and disowned His people? Certainly not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

  • |Romanos 11:2| God has not rejected His [chosen] people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

  • |Romanos 11:3| "Lord, they have killed Your prophets, they have torn down Your altars, and I alone am left [of the prophets], and they are seeking my life."

  • |Romanos 11:4| But what is God's response to him? "I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."

  • |Romanos 11:5| So too then, at the present time there has come to be a remnant [a small believing minority] according to God's gracious choice.

  • |Romanos 11:6| But if it is by grace [God's unmerited favor], it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace [it would not be a gift but a reward for works].

  • |Romanos 11:7| What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking [that is, God's favor by obedience to the Law], but the elect [those chosen few] obtained it, while the rest of them became hardened and callously indifferent;

  • |Romanos 11:8| just as it is written [in Scripture],
    "God gave them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear, [a spiritual apathy that has continued] to this very day."


  • |Romanos 11:9| And David says,
    "Let their table (abundance) become a snare and a trap, A stumbling block and a retribution to them.


  • |Romanos 11:10| "Let their eyes be darkened so that they do not see, And make their backs bend [under their burden] forever."
