Election
Israel’s corporate chosenness (‘am hanivchar,’ the Chosen People) is a robust existing category - an asset here, not an absence. The risk is scope: Romans 9 moves toward individual and remnant election (9:6-8, ‘not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel’) alongside Gentile inclusion, which needs to be taught against the automatically-corporate default reading.
