Chapter 11

¹ I SAY then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
² God hath not cast away his people, which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias; how he calleth on God against Israel?
³ Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
⁴ But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men, that have not bowed their knees to Baal.
⁵ Even so then at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.
⁶ And if by grace, it is not now by works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
⁷ What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it; and the rest have been blinded.
⁸ As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see; and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.
⁹ And David saith: Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them.
¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
¹¹ I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
¹² Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
¹³ For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
¹⁴ If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
¹⁵ For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
¹⁶ For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
¹⁷ And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
¹⁸ Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
¹⁹ Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
²⁰ Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
²¹ For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
²² See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
²³ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
²⁴ For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
²⁵ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
²⁶ And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
²⁷ And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
²⁸ As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
³⁰ For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
³¹ So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
³² For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
³³ O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
³⁶ For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

Chapter 11

¹ I say then, Hath God cast away his people? By no means. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
² God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
³ Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
⁴ But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
⁵ Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
⁶ And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
⁸ (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) to this day.
⁹ And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them:
¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
¹¹ I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means: but rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
¹² Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
¹³ For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
¹⁴ If by any means I may incite to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
¹⁵ For if the rejection of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
¹⁶ For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
¹⁷ And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive-tree, art ingrafted among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;
¹⁸ Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be ingrafted.
²⁰ Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
²¹ For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
²² Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou shalt continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
²³ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be ingrafted: for God is able to ingraft them again.
²⁴ For if thou wast cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and wast ingrafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?
²⁵ For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part hath happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall be come in.
²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
²⁷ For this is my covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins.
²⁸ As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
²⁹ For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
³⁰ For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;
³¹ Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
³² For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?
³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
³⁶ For from him, and by him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Chapter 11

¹ ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
² didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
³ they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
⁴ how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
⁵ so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
⁶ if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
⁷ then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
⁸ as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day."
⁹ says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
¹⁰ their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always."
¹¹ ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
¹² if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
¹³ I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
¹⁴ by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
¹⁵ if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
¹⁶ the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
¹⁷ if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree;
¹⁸ boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
¹⁹ will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
²⁰ by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;
²¹ if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
²² then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
²³ also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
²⁴ if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
²⁵ I don't desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
²⁶ so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
²⁷ is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
²⁸ the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
²⁹ the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
³⁰ as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
³¹ so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
³² God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
³³ the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
³⁴ who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"
³⁵ who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
³⁶ of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

Chapter 11

¹ I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For *I* also am an Israelite, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.
² God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?
³ Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and *I* have been left alone, and they seek my life.
⁴ But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.
⁵ Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.
⁶ But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.
⁷ What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,
⁸ according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.
⁹ And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:
¹⁰ let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.
¹¹ I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.
¹² But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?
¹³ For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
¹⁴ if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.
¹⁵ For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?
¹⁶ Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.
¹⁷ Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and *thou*, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,
¹⁸ boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee.
¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.
²⁰ Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and *thou* standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
²¹ if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.
²² Behold then [the] goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] *thou* also wilt be cut away.
²³ And *they* too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.
²⁴ For if *thou* hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?
²⁵ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;
²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
²⁷ And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.
²⁸ As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.
²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.
³⁰ For as indeed *ye* [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*;
³¹ so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of mercy.
³² For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.
³³ O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!
³⁴ For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?
³⁵ or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?
³⁶ For of him, and through him, and for him [are] all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

¹ I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
² God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:
³ Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
⁴ But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have left for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
⁵ Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
⁶ But if it is by grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace.
⁷ What then? that which Israel seeketh for, that he obtained not; but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened:
⁸ according as it is written, God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this very day.
⁹ And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, And a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:
¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And bow thou down their back always.
¹¹ I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
¹² Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
¹³ But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
¹⁴ if by any means I may provoke to jealousy [them that are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
¹⁵ For if the casting away of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but life from the dead?
¹⁶ And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
¹⁸ glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
²⁰ Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
²¹ for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
²² Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
²³ And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
²⁴ For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree?
²⁵ For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;
²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
²⁷ And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.
²⁸ As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.
³⁰ For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
³¹ even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.
³² For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
³⁵ or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
³⁶ For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him [be] the glory for ever. Amen.

Chapter 11

¹ So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
² God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,
³ Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.
⁴ But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.
⁵ In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.
⁶ But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.
⁷ What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.
⁸ As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.
⁹ And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:
¹⁰ Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.
¹¹ So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy.
¹² Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?
¹³ But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:
¹⁴ If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.
¹⁵ For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?
¹⁶ And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,
¹⁸ Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.
¹⁹ You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.
²⁰ Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;
²¹ For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.
²² See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.
²³ And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.
²⁴ For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?
²⁵ For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;
²⁶ And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:
²⁷ And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.
²⁸ As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.
²⁹ Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.
³⁰ For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,
³¹ So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.
³² For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.
³³ O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.
³⁴ Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?
³⁵ Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?
³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. So be it.
