5 So in the same way at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
6 And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was diligently seeking, but the elect obtained it. The rest were hardened,
8 as it is written,“God gave them a spirit of stupor,eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, to this very day.”
9 And David says,“Let their table become a snare and trap,a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see,and make their backs bend continually.”
11 I ask then, they did not stumble into an irrevocable fall, did they? Absolutely not! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.
