There is no race of people who collectively are God's people,
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Mt.3:9
18
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root,
BUT THE ROOT BAREST THEE .
19¶Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and
thou standest by faith .
Be not high-minded , but fear:
21For if God spared not the
natural branches ,
take heed lest he also spare not thee.
22Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in
his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to
graff them in again
24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the
natural branches, be graffed into
their own olive tree ?
25¶For I would not, brethren, that ye should be
ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be
wise in your OWN conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
UNTIL the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26And so
all Israel SHALL BE SAVED : as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27For this
is MY COVENANT UNTO THEM , when I shall take away
THEIR SINS .
28¶As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching
THE ELECTION ,
they are BELOVED FOR THE FATHERS ' SAKES .
29For the gifts and calling of God
are without repentance.
30For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained
MERCY THROUGH THEIR UNBELIEF :
31Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy UPON ALL .
