What does it say, then? The word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith, the faith which we preach, (Romans 10, 8)
that if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. (Romans 10, 9)
And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As scripture says: How beautiful are the feet of the messenger of good news. (Romans 10, 15)
But in fact they have not all responded to the good news. As Isaiah says: Lord, who has given credence to what they have heard from us? (Romans 10, 16)
But it is in that way faith comes, from hearing, and that means hearing the word of Christ. (Romans 10, 17)
Well then, I say, is it possible that they have not heard? Indeed they have: in the entire earth their voice stands out, their message reaches the whole world. (Romans 10, 18)
and referring to Israel, he says: All day long I have been stretching out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people. (Romans 10, 21)
What I am saying is this: is it possible that God abandoned his people? Out of the question! I too am an Israelite, descended from Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. (Romans 11, 1)
God never abandoned his own people to whom, ages ago, he had given recognition. Do you not remember what scripture says about Elijah and how he made a complaint to God against Israel: (Romans 11, 2)
Lord, they have put your prophets to the sword, torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they want to kill me? (Romans 11, 3)
David too says: May their own table prove a trap for them, a pitfall and a snare; let that be their retribution. (Romans 11, 9)
What I am saying is this: Was this stumbling to lead to their final downfall? Out of the question! On the contrary, their failure has brought salvation for the gentiles, in order to stir them to envy. (Romans 11, 11)
