1 I say then, Has God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Compare verse11 commentaries

3 Lord, they have killed your prophets, and dig down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. Compare verse4 commentaries
4 But what said the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. Compare verse6 commentaries
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Compare verse9 commentaries
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 it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Compare verse8 commentaries
7 What then? Israel has not obtained that which he seeks for; but the election has obtained it, and the rest were blinded. Compare verse6 commentaries
8 (According as it is written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) to this day. Compare verse7 commentaries
9 And David said, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a recompense to them: Compare verse7 commentaries
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always. Compare verse6 commentaries
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Compare verse11 commentaries
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness? Compare verse6 commentaries
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office: Compare verse5 commentaries

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: Compare verse8 commentaries

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off. Compare verse8 commentaries
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. Compare verse4 commentaries
24 For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? Compare verse5 commentaries
