Rom.11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree.

Many were called out of Israel, but few chosen, God chose the whole nation of Israel as a ruling class in his Kingdom. But few of them responded to the Christ, only a remnant of the entire nation became branches on the holy tree of God. Most rejected Christ as an apostate from their teachings, and took part or in partial destroying him.

Romans 9:27 Isaiah cries concerning Israel, "If the number of the children of Israel are as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant who will be saved.

Subsequently, their branches were broken off, of God's righteous tree, and new branches were grafted in, the Gentles. Those Jews had become self-righteous in meeting the many works of law set over them through the law of Moses.

Matt.7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.

First remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye.

The law judged, convicted, and condemned every person under it as a sinner, they were not made holy by works of laws, but rather the blood atonement upon the Altar of God provided by YHWH great mercy. This thought of righteousness by atonement instead of law offended the Jew's so badly that they killed God's passover lamb Christ Jesus. Now Paul under the headship of Christ and the Holy Spirit faced the exact situation with newly converted Gentiles thinking by meeting those laws which condemned Israel was going to make them righteous.

Romans 9:31 but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, didn't arrive at the law of righteousness. Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

Moreover, Christian's today are faced with this powerful tool works by law as one of the strongest deception of the Devil in over-sowing the field of God's planting by sins laws, yeast! Nothing is more corrupting to the truth.
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
