In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRomans 11:1-10The remnant
About Romans 11God has not cast away his people, Paul writes, for as God kept "seven thousand men" in Elijah's day, "there is a remnant according to the election of grace," and through Israel's fall "salvation is come unto the Gentiles." Speaking "to you Gentiles," he says they are a wild olive branch "graffed in," so "Boast not against the branches," and "Be not highminded, but fear," for the natural branches can be grafted in again. "Blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in," and "so all Israel shall be saved," for "the gifts and calling of God are without repentance," and Paul ends in praise, "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God."
