Romans 11:1-12 ( KJV ) ¹I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.  ²God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,  ³Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.  ⁴But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.  ⁵Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.  ⁶And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.  ⁷What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded  ⁸(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.  ⁹And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:  ¹⁰Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.  ¹¹I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.  ¹²Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 

Isaiah 45:4 ( KJV ) ⁴For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me

Hebrews 6:4-10 ( KJV ) ⁴For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,  ⁵And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,  ⁶If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.  ⁷For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:  ⁸But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. ⁹But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.  ¹⁰For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 

1 Corinthians 3:9-15 ( KJV ) ⁹For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.  ¹⁰According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. ¹¹For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.  ¹²Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;  ¹³Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.  ¹⁴If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.  ¹⁵If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
