5. So therefore also, at this present time a remnant according to the choice of favour has come to be.
6. And if by favour, it is no longer of works, otherwise favour is no longer favour. And if it is of works, it is no longer favour, otherwise work is no longer work.
7. What then? Yisra’ĕl has not obtained what it seeks, but the chosen did obtain it, and the rest were hardened.
8. As it has been written, “יהוה has given them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see and ears not to hear, unto this day.”
9. Dawiḏ also says, “Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block and a recompense to them,
10. let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and bow down their back always.”
11. I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Let it not be! But by their fall deliverance has come to the gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12. And if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the gentiles, how much more their completeness!
13. For I speak to you, the gentiles, inasmuch as I am an emissary to the gentiles, I esteem my service,
14. if somehow I might provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them.
15. For if their casting away is the restoration to favour of the world, what is their acceptance but life from the dead?
16. Now if the first-fruit is set-apart, the lump is also. And if the root is set-apart, so are the branches.
17. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them, and came to share the root and fatness of the olive tree,
18. do not boast against the branches. And if you boast, remember: you do not bear the root, but the root bears you!
19. You shall say then, “The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.”
