Israel’s Rejection Not Total

11 I say then, (A)has God cast away His people? (B)Certainly not! For (C)I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not cast away His people whom (D)He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying,

Israel’s Rejection Not Final

11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But (A)through their [a]fall, to provoke them to (B)jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their [b]fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

Otherwise (C)you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, (D)if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For (I)this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
