Romans 11
11:1I say then, Did God thrust away his people? May it not be. For even I am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
11:2God did not thrust away his people whom he foreknew. Or do you not know in Elijah what the scripture says, how he intercedes with God according to Israel, saying,
11:3O Lord, they killed your prophets, and your altars they razed, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.
11:4But what says the divine answer to him? I left behind to myself seven thousand men, the ones who have not bent a knee to Baal.
11:5So then also in the present time a remnant according to choice of favor takes place.
11:6But if by favor, no longer of works; else the favor no longer becomes favor. But if of works, no longer is it favor; else the work no longer is work.
11:7What then? What Israel seeks anxiously for, this it did not succeed in; but the chosen succeeded, and the remaining were callous,
11:8(as it has been written, God gave to them a spirit of vexation, of eyes to not see, and ears to not hear,) until today's day.
11:9And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for an obstacle, and for a recompense to them!
11:10Let their eyes be darkened to not see, and their back always bent downwards!
11:11I say then, did they stumble that they should fall? May it not be. But in their transgression the deliverance came to the nations, for the provoking them to jealousy.
11:12But if their transgression was for the wealth of the world, and their vanquishing for the wealth of nations, how much more their fullness?
11:13For I speak to you, to the nations; upon as much as indeed I am an apostle of the nations, I glorify my service,
11:14if by any means I should provoke to jealousy the ones of my flesh, and shall deliver some from among them.
11:15For if the casting off of them be for the reconciliation of the world, what will be the reception of them, unless life from the dead.
11:16And if the first-fruit be holy, also the batch; and if the root be holy, also the branches.
11:17But if some of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive tree were engrafted in them, and became fellow-partakers of the root and the fatness of the olive tree,
11:18glory not over the branches! But if you gloried over them, know that you do not bear the root, but the root bears you.
11:19You will say then, the branches were broken off that I should be engrafted.
11:20Well, by unbelief they were broken off, and you in the belief stand. Be not high-minded, but fear.
11:21For if God spared not the branches according to nature, perhaps not even you he shall spare.
11:22Behold then the graciousness and severity of God! indeed upon the ones having fallen -- severity; but upon you -- graciousness, if you should remain in the graciousness; else also you shall be cut off.
11:23And also those if they do not remain in the unbelief, shall be engrafted; for God is able again to engraft them.
11:24For if you, were cut off from the wild olive tree according to nature, and contrary to nature were engrafted into the fruitful olive tree; how much more these, the ones according to nature, shall be engrafted into their own olive tree?
11:25For I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that you should not be intelligent in yourselves, that callousness has happened in part to Israel until of which time the fullness of the nations should enter in.
11:26And so all Israel shall be delivered, as it has been written, the one rescuing shall come from out of Zion, and he shall turn impious deeds from Jacob.
11:27And this is the covenant to them by me, whenever I should remove their sins.
11:28Indeed according to the good news, enemies for your account; but according to the selection, beloved on account of the fathers.
11:29For irrevocable are the favors and the calling of God.
11:30For as also you at some time or other resisted persuasion to God, but now you were shown mercy in the disobedience of these;
11:31so also these now resisted persuasion to your mercy, that also they should be shown mercy.
11:32For God closed up all of the ones in disobedience, that all of the ones he should show mercy.
11:33O the depth of wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God; as unsearchable are his judgments, and untraceable are his ways.
11:34For who knew the mind of the Lord, or who became his counselor?
11:35Or who first gave to him and he shall recompense to him?
11:36For from out of him and through him and unto him are all things. To him be the glory into the eons. Amen.
