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

²⁷ Isaiah cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, It is the remnant who will be saved;

⁵ having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

⁶ to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved,

¹¹ For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him who calls,

⁶ And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

⁷ What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

²⁸ Concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
