All Israel saved; the Church as daughter of the synagogue

It will be saved after the full number of the Gentiles has come in, having abandoned lawlessness; then the consummation will follow, and the punishment of earthly things, as we await the judgment. Indeed, the word might also be spoken to the church, which is the daughter of the ancient synagogue, for “the gifts of God are irrevocable,” yet its lawlessness has departed through divine baptism; she whom the Speaker no longer hands over to the enemies says, “Here I will dwell, for I have chosen her,” and “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age,” when even impiety was established among those who mind earthly things.

Greek

σωθήσεται μετὰ τὸ πλήρωμα τῶν ἐθνῶν» τὴν ἀνομίαν ἀπολιπών· μεθ' ὃ λοιπὸν ἡ συντέλεια, καὶ τῶν γηΐνων ἡ κόλασις, ἐκδεχομένης τῆς κρίσεως. ῥηθείη δ' ἂν καὶ πρὸς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ὁ λόγος, ἥτις ἐστὶ θυγάτηρ τῆς πάλαι συναγωγῆς («ἀμεταμέλητα γὰρ τὰ χαρίσματα τοῦ θεοῦ», ἐξέλιπε δὲ ταύτης ἡ ἀνομία διὰ τοῦ θείου βαπτίσματος), ἣν οὐκέτι τοῖς ἐχθροῖς παραδίδωσιν ὁ φήσας· «ὧδε κατοικήσω, ὅτι ᾑρετισάμην αὐτήν» καὶ τὸ «ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ μεθ' ὑμῶν εἰμι πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνος», ὅτε καὶ τὴν ἀσέβειαν ἐστηλίτευσε τῶν φρονούντων τὰ γήϊνα. 18
