Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

Here, then indicates that what follows in this verse is the logical conclusion to what Paul has stated in [9:30](../09/30.md)–[10:21](../10/21.md). Use a natural way in your language for indicating result. Alternate translation: [As a result, I say]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ ἀπώσατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ?

not pushed_away ¬the God the people ˱of˲_him

Paul is not asking for information, but is using a rhetorical question here to emphasize the truth of what he is saying. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as statements or exclamations and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Surely God did not reject his people!]
