For Israel. A nation. Not individuals
So even in your own context. Your thought this spoke of individual people is destroyed.
Yes lets pick it up in Chapter 11.
Who is they?
They are Israel
They are said to be blinded in part (consist of believers and unbelievers alike)
Who are you?
The roman church (gentile)
yep. Context is still your worse enemy

Why does Ephesians 2:10 follow after the 2 famous saved by Grace verses?
*** What did Jesus Christ say should be the attractions of Christianity?
What did the Apostle Paul indicate about such?
Didn’t Jesus Christ say “the world will know you are My disciples by your love for one another”?
Romans 14:17 says that “the Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ indicated what the Apostle Paul later wrote in his epistle to the Christians in Rome.
“And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of God should come,
He answered them and said,
'The Kingdom of God does not come with observation;
neither shall they say, 'See here!' or, 'see there'
for, indeed, the Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20-21)
And Jesus Christ said that if we love Him, we would obey His commandments and His other teachings.
And the love He was talking about is the unselfish agapè love
that we can only receive from God when we are right with Him;
it is not the usually selfish philèo and eros loves that either just happen or we produce.
Did you ever wonder what kind of Christians would be appreciated by victims of a tragedy,
the religious ones or the unselfish compassionate ones?
True Christians should be like the Moon reflecting the Sun’s light,
reflecting Jesus Christ (instead of selves) to others.
But many professing Christians are selfish humanists usually with a serious “I” problem.
And remember Satan had and has a serious pride and boasting problem.
In your life, who were the individuals in the churches you attended you liked the most?
Why did you decide to be a member in churches?

So see. You who profess works salvation are in essence working iniquity.
The sad part is, The pharisee could not see this.. They thought they were righteous, and were wrong
Same today. People who think they are rightous (sinless) and thats how they will earn salvation. yet in reality, they practice iniquity
