5 So also at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
6 But if by grace, it is no longer because of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? What Israel was seeking it did not attain, but the elect attained it; the rest were hardened,
8 as it is written:“God gave them a spirit of deep sleep,eyes that should not seeand ears that should not hear,down to this very day.”
9 And David says:“Let their table become a snare and a trap,a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes grow dim so that they may not see,and keep their backs bent forever.”
11 Hence I ask, did they stumble so as to fall? Of course not! But through their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make them jealous.
