Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Romans 10
¹⁵ How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!"
¹⁶ However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"
¹⁷ So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
¹⁸ But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "Their voice has gone out into all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world."
¹⁹ But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, "I will make you jealous by that which is not a nation, By a nation without understanding will I anger you."
²⁰ And Isaiah is very bold and says, "I was found by those who did not seek Me, I became manifest to those who did not ask for Me."
²¹ But as for Israel He says, "All the day long I have stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
Romans 11
¹ I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
² God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
³ "Lord, they have killed Your prophets, they have torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life."
⁴ But what is the divine response to him? "I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
