Romans 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.
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 hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
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 digged 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 saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] 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 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
So also, at this time, a residue is left by the election of grace.
6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more 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? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
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 (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; ) unto this 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 saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto 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, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, And their back at all times be bowed;
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for 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 the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
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 Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
To you, Gentiles, I speak, I, who am apostle of the Gentiles, in my ministry I glory,
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might save some of them.
if I may provoke my fleshly kindred, and save some of them.
15 For if the casting away of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be], but 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 For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches.
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 be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and 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 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not 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 wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
And perhaps thou wilt say, The branches were cut off, and I in their place am engrafted:
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, 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, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
If Aloha spared not them who were branches by nature, (take heed) lest he spare not thee.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt 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 they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff 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 wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be graffed 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 would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be 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 shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness 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 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
And then shall be to them my covenant, When I have forgiven them their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
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 calling of God [are] without repentance.
For Aloha turneth not in his gift and in his vocation.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
For as you also were not obedient unto Aloha at the first, and now have received mercy through their disobedience;
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
so also these are now disobedient for the mercy that is upon you, that upon them also might be mercy.
For Aloha hath included them all in disobedience, that upon all he might show mercy. (eleēsē g1653)
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!
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 hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
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?
Or who hath first given to him, that so he should receive from him?
