Salvation is personal, not private.
St. Paul argues with the People of Israel who thought they would be redeemed because they were the only ones called. That is not so. If so, even Paul was redeemed, was also a son of Abraham. But he wants to preach against the private faith.
Their individual salvation has nothing to do with God's choosing to bless the gentile nations as He had chosen to bless Israel with the promised Messiah.
We need not try to choose the place of honor, I need not go alone, we should go together, and learn to be redeemed together.
