Romans 11:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ So it is at the present time: there is a remnant, chosen by grace. ⁶ But if this is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of actions. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.

⁷ What, then, does this mean?^[a] It means that Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking, but the selected group obtained it while the rest were hardened.
