Paul's grief for Israel -- God's faithful election of Israel, 9:6-29 -- Israel's failure to hear, 9:30-10:21 -- The grace of God for Israel, 11:1-32 -- Paul-s praise to God, 11:33-36 -- Conclusion.

Theological discussions often limit the focus of this passage to God's sovereignty or to Paul's defense of God's faithfulness, but less attention has been devoted to the form and style.

Attention is given to Paul's poetical structures, key literary terms, and use of Old Testament contexts
