And so (kai outwv). By the complement of the Gentiles stirring up the complement of the Jews (verses Romans 11:11 f.).
All Israel (pav Israhl). What does Paul mean? The immediate context (use of pav in contrast with apo merous, plhrwma here in contrast with plhrwma in verse Romans 11:12) argues for the Jewish people "as a whole." But the spiritual Israel (both Jews and Gentiles) may be his idea in accord with Romans 9:6 (Galatians 6:16) as the climax of the argument. At any rate we should strive for and pray for the conversion of Jews as a whole. Paul here quotes from Isaiah 59:20 f.; Isaiah 27:9.
The Deliverer (o ruomenov). Present middle articular participle of ruomai, to rescue, to deliver. See on 1 Thessalonians 1:10; 2 Corinthians 1:10. The Hebrew Goel, the Avenger, the Messiah, the Redeemer (Deuteronomy 25:5-10; Job 19:25; Ruth 3:12 f.). Paul interprets it of Jesus as Messiah.
