11:5Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

11:6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

11:7What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

11:8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
