{I say then} (leg(9320)oun). As in verse 11 . Oun looks
back to 9:16-33 and 10:19-21 . {Did God cast off?} (m(880a)ap(9373)ato ho theos?). An indignant negative answer is called for
by m(885c) and emphasized by m(8820)genoito (God forbid). Paul refers
to the promise in the O.T. made three times: 1Sa 12:22 Ps
94:14 ( Ps 93:14 LXX); Ps 94:4 . First aorist middle
indicative (without augment) of ap(9374)he(935c), to push away, to
repel, middle, to push away from one as in Ac 7:27 . {For I
also} (kai gar eg(935c)). Proof that not all the Jews have rejected
Christ. See Php 3:5 for more of Paul's pedigree.
