From Romans 11

I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew.



As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.


Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear. For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
. . .

And so all Israel should be saved . . .
