In Order That

“The unbelief of Israel brought the Gentiles in, and the belief of the Gentiles is going to bring the Jews back in. Now Paul says that all of this is a prophetic mystery, now revealed, and revealed in order that that Gentiles would not become conceited. Salvation is from the Jews (Jn. 4:22), and always will be.”

Jew-Hate as Disobedience

Paul “did all of this because he was heading off a primitive seed form of antisemitism—believing Gentiles vaunting themselves over against unbelieving Jews. But his command is explicit: ‘Boast not against the branches’ (v. 18). ‘Be not high-minded but fear’ (v. 20). Antisemitism is therefore nothing less than disobedience to an express apostolic command.”
