2 cFor they have taken some of their daughters to be wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the dholy race ▼▼Hebrew offspring
has fmixed itself with the peoples of the lands. And in this faithlessness the hand of the officials and chief men has been foremost.” Isaiah 65:8-9
8 Thus says the Lord:g“As the new wine is found in the cluster,
and they say, ‘Do not destroy it,
for there is a blessing in it,’
so I will do for my servants’ sake,
hand not destroy them all.
9 iI will bring forth offspring from Jacob,
and from Judah possessors of my mountains;
my chosen shall possess it,
and my servants shall dwell there.

And what was the one God ▼▼Hebrew the one
seeking? ▼▼Or And not one has done this who has a portion of the Spirit. And what was that one seeking?
nGodly offspring. So guard yourselves ▼▼Or So take care; also verse 16

5To them belong xthe patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, ywho is God over all, zblessed forever. Amen.Romans 11:5
5So too at the present time there is aaa remnant, chosen by grace.Romans 11:24
24For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
