Romans 11:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 [a]And if it be of grace, it is [b]no more of works: or else were grace no more grace: but if it be of works, it is no more grace: or else were work no more work.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obtained it, and the rest have been [c]hardened,
8 [d]According as it is written, (A)God hath given them the spirit of [e]slumber: eyes that they [f]should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day.
