Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Romans 10
¹⁹ But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: "I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation."
²⁰ But Isaiah is very bold and says: "I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me."
²¹ But to Israel he says: "All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people."
Romans 11
¹ I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
² God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,
³ "Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life"?
⁴ But what does the divine response say to him? "I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
⁵ Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
⁶ And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
⁷ What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
⁸ Just as it is written: "God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see And ears that they should not hear, To this very day."
