5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
8 (according as it is written,God hath given them the spirit of slumber,eyes that they should not see,and ears that they should not hear;)unto this day.
9 And David saith,Let their table be made a snare, and a trap,and a stumbling-block, and a recompense unto them:
10 let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see,and bow down their back alway.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
