I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:

“Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
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.
What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”

don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

See then the goodness and severity of God. Towards those who fell, severity; but towards you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
