Romans 11:6-7
works otherwise <1893 2041> [otherwise work.]
That is, it loses its character, or nature,--that of claiming reward as a matter of right.
What then <5101 3767> [What then?]
Israel <2474> [Israel.]
but ... elect <1161 1589> [but the election.]
That is, the elect, the abstract being used for the concrete. So the Jews or the circumcised people, are called Israel, or the circumcision.
but ....... rest <1161 3062> [and the rest.]
were hardened <4456> [blinded. or, hardened.]
