The Implied Objection: If justification were really by faith in
Jesus Christ, the Jews, God's chosen people, would have believed
in Him.
Paul's answers:
Not every Jew is a part of the chosen people. (9:6-29)
The Jews rejected Christ because they are trying without
success to be justified by works, they are ignorant of God's
righteousness, and they are a disobedient and contrary
people. (9:30-10:21)
Some Jews, including me, have accepted Christ. (11:1-10)
The Jews still can come to Christ, and probably will. (11:11-
32)
