Romans 11
1 I say therefore, did God thrust away his people? May it not happen! For I also am an Israelite from the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
BUT I say, Hath Aloha put away his people? Not so. For I also am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benyamen.
2 God did not thrust away his people whom he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture tells by Elijah? How he encounters God about Israel.
Aloha hath not put away his people whom from before he knew. Or know you not what he saith in the scripture concerning Elia,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and they have torn down thine altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
when he cried unto Aloha against Israel, saying, My Lord, thy prophets have they killed, and thy altars overthrown, and I alone am left, and they seek my soul?
4 But what does the divine response say to him? I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed a knee to Baal.
And it was said to him by revelation, Behold, I have left to myself seven thousand men, who upon their knees have not kneeled nor worshipped Baal.
5 So then also at this present time there has become a remnant according to the selection of grace.
So also, at this time, a residue is left by the election of grace.
6 And if it is by grace, it is no longer from works, otherwise grace becomes no longer grace. But if it is from works it is no longer grace, otherwise work is no longer work.
But if by grace, it is not of works; otherwise grace is not grace. But if by works, it is not of grace; otherwise work is not work.
7 What then? What Israel seeks, this it did not obtain. But the chosen obtained it, and the rest were hardened,
What then, That which Israel sought he hath not found; but the election hath found: but the rest of them are blinded in their hearts.
8 just as it is written that God gave them a spirit of slumber: eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, until this very day.
As it is written, Aloha hath given them the spirit of trouble, And eyes that see not, and ears that hear not, until the present day.
9 And David says, Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling block, and for a retribution to them.
And David again saith, Let their table become a snare before them, And their reward be for a stumbling-block:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, not to see, and may thou bow down their back always.
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And their back at all times be bowed;
11 I say then, did they stumble so that they would fall? May it not happen! But in their transgression, salvation is to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy.
But I say, Have they stumbled so as to fall? Not so: but, by their stumbling was salvation to the Gentiles, unto their zeal.
12 Now if their transgression is wealth of the world, and their failure is wealth of Gentiles, how much more their fullness?
And if their stumbling were wealth to the world, and their condemnation wealth to the Gentiles, how much then will their fulness be?
13 For I speak to you the Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of Gentiles, I enhance my ministry,
To you, Gentiles, I speak, I, who am apostle of the Gentiles, in my ministry I glory,
14 if somehow I may provoke my flesh to jealousy and may save some of them.
if I may provoke my fleshly kindred, and save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them is reconciliation of the world, what is the acceptance except life from the dead?
For if their rejection was the reconciliation of the world, what (will) their conversion (be) but life from the dead?
16 And if the first fruit is holy, the branch is also. And if the root is holy, the branches are also.
For if the first-fruits be holy, (so) also (will be) the mass; and if the root be holy, (so) also the branches.
17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree,
And if the branches were cut off, and thou who art a wild olive art engrafted in their place, and hast a participation of the root and fatness of the olive,
18 do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do not bear the root, but the root thee.
boast not against the branches: but if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root beareth thee.
19 Thou will therefore say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.
And perhaps thou wilt say, The branches were cut off, and I in their place am engrafted:
20 Correct! They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by thy faith. Be not high-minded but fear,
Well, they on account of unbelief were cut off, and thou by faith standest: be not exalted in thy mind, but fear.
21 for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee.
If Aloha spared not them who were branches by nature, (take heed) lest he spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and the severity of God. Indeed toward those who fell, severity, but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness, otherwise thou too will be cut off.
Behold, then, the goodness and the severity of Aloha: towards them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; if not, thou also wilt be cut off.
23 And also those, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
And they, if they continue not in their want of faith, they also shall be engrafted; for Aloha is able again to engraft them.
24 For if thou were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree.
For if thou who art of the wild olive which is thy nature, wast cut off, and, which was not thy nature, art engrafted into the good olive, how much more they, if they are engrafted into the olive of their nature?
25 For I do not want you, brothers, to be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise according to yourselves, that a callousness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles come in.
But I would have you know, my brethren, this mystery, that you may not be wise in your own mind, -that blindness of heart for a little space is unto Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles be brought in:
26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, The man who delivers will come from Zion, and will turn away impiety from Jacob.
and then all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, The Redeemer shall come from Sion, And turn iniquity from Jakub;
27 And this is the covenant from me to them when I will take away their sins.
And then shall be to them my covenant, When I have forgiven them their sins.
28 They are indeed enemies toward the good news for your sake, but toward selection, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
But, in (regard of) the gospel, they are enemies on your account; and, in the election, they are beloved on account of the fathers.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
For Aloha turneth not in his gift and in his vocation.
30 For as ye once were also disobedient to God, but now have received mercy at the disobedience of these,
For as you also were not obedient unto Aloha at the first, and now have received mercy through their disobedience;
31 so also now these have been disobedient for thy mercy, so that they also may receive mercy.
so also these are now disobedient for the mercy that is upon you, that upon them also might be mercy.
32 For God has confined all men in disobedience, so that he might be merciful to all. (eleēsē g1653)
For Aloha hath included them all in disobedience, that upon all he might show mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
33 O the depth of wealth, both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond finding out!
O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of Aloha, whose judgments man searcheth not, and whose ways are inscrutable!
34 For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who became his counselor?
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who first gave to him, and it will be repaid to him?
Or who hath first given to him, that so he should receive from him?
