What do Romans 9, 10, and 11 deal with?

Romans 9, 10, and 11 are parenthetical chapters where the Apostle Paul, by inspiration, deals with the nation of Israel with regard to the Gentiles. They interrupt the flow from Romans 8 to Romans 12, serving as an inserted statement before Paul returns to his main argument in chapter 12.

Les explains that Romans 9, 10, and 11 are parenthetical chapters, much like a parenthetical statement inserted into a complete English sentence. They interrupt the flow after Romans 8 and before Romans 12. In these chapters, the Apostle Paul, by inspiration, deals with the nation of Israel with regard to the Gentiles. Once the parenthesis ends, Paul returns to his main argument in Romans 12:1 with 'I beseech you therefore.'
