Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Romans 11
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."
⁵ In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God’s gracious choice.
⁶ But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.
⁷ What then? What Israel is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened;
⁸ just as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, Eyes to see not and ears to hear not, Down to this very day."
⁹ And David says, "Let their table become a snare and a trap, And a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
¹⁰ "Let their eyes be darkened to see not, And bend their backs forever."
¹¹ I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.
¹² Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!
¹³ But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
¹⁴ if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.
