Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died and rose again, and he is at the right hand of God making intercession for us.

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature shall be able to separate me from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our LORD.

Whose are the fathers, from among whom Christ appeared in the flesh, who is God over all, to whom are due praises and thanksgiving, for ever and ever. Amen.

It is not as though the word of God had actually failed. For all those who belong to Israel are not Israelites:

That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God; but the children of the promise who are reckoned as descendants.

Before her children were born, or had done good or evil, the choice of God was made known in advance; that it might stand, not by means of works, but through him who made the choice.

What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Far be it.

Therefore, it is not within reach of him who wishes, nor within the reach of him who runs, but it is within the reach of the merciful God.

However, O man, who are you to question God? Shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why have you made me like this?

Now then, if God wanted to shew his anger, and make his power known, would he not then, after the abundance of his patience, bring wrath upon the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction?

But he poured his mercy upon the favored vessels, which were prepared for the glory of God.

And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said you are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

MY brethren, my heart''s desire and prayer to God for Is''ra-el is that they might be saved.

For I can testify for them that there is in them a zeal for God, but not according to the true knowledge.

For they know not the righteousness of God, but seek to establish their own righteousness, and because of this, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God.

So if you will confess with your mouth our LORD Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

I SAY, then, has God rejected his people? Far be it. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God has not rejected his people which he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah? How he complained to God against Israel, saying,

As it is written, God has given them a stubborn spirit, eyes that cannot see, and ears that cannot hear, to this very day.
