6 And aif by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.1 But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
7 What then? aIsrael has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were bblinded.
8 Just as it is written:
a“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
bEyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”
a“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
bEyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”
9 And David says:
a“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
a“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”
And bow down their back always.”

11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But athrough their fall, to provoke them to bjealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.
