< Romans 11 >
1 I ask then; not did reject God the people of Him? Never would it be! Also for I myself an Israelite am, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.
I ask then, has God rejected his people? Absolutely not. For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Not did reject God the people of Him whom He foreknew. Or not know you in Elijah what says the Scripture, how he pleads with God against Israel (saying *k*)
God did not reject his people, which he foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
3 Lord, the prophets of You they have killed, (and *k*) the altars of You they have torn down, and I myself and I myself were left alone, and they are seeking the life of me.
"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
4 But what [was] spoken to him the divine answer? I have left to Myself seven thousand men who not bowed [the] knee to Baal.
But how does God answer him? "I have kept for myself seven thousand people, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
5 Thus then also in the present time a remnant according to [the] election of grace there has been.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 If now by grace no longer no longer from works, otherwise grace no longer no longer would be grace (if *KO*) (now from works no longer no longer is grace since the work no longer no longer is work. *K*)
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.
7 What then? What is seeking Israel, (this *N(k)O*) not it has obtained, but the elect obtained [it]; The now rest were hardened
What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he did not obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
8 (even as *NK(o)*) it has been written: Gave to them God a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see and ears not to hear unto the today day.
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, to this very day.
9 And David says: should be the table of them for a snare and for a trap and for a stumbling block and for a retribution to them;
David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
10 should be darkened the eyes of them not to see, and the backs of them (for *N(K)O*) (all [times] *N(k)O*) do bend over.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they can't see, and their backs be bent continually."
11 I say then, surely not they did stumble so that they may fall? Never would it be! But in the of them trespass [is] salvation to the Gentiles so as to provoke to jealousy them.
I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Absolutely not. But by their fall salvation has come to the non-Jews, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 If however the trespass of them [is] riches of [the] world and the failure of them [is the] riches of [the] Gentiles, how much more the fullness of them?
Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the non-Jews; how much more their fullness?
13 To you (now *N(k)O*) I am speaking Gentiles; Upon as much as indeed (therefore *NO*) am I myself of [the] Gentiles apostle, the ministry of mine I magnify,
For I speak to you who are the non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to the non-Jews, I glorify my ministry;
14 if at all I will provoke to jealousy of me the flesh and will save some of them.
if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 If for the rejection of them [is the] reconciliation of [the] world, what [will be] the acceptance only except life out from [the] dead?
For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
16 If now the firstfruit [is] holy, also the lump; and if the root [is] holy, also the branches.
If the first part is holy, so is the whole batch. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 If however some of the branches were broken off, you yourself now a wild olive tree being you were grafted in among them and a fellow-partaker of the root (and *ko*) of the fatness of the olive tree you have become,
But 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 rich root of the olive tree;
18 not do boast over the branches; If now you boast against [them], not you yourself the root support but the root you.
do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then; Were broken off (*k*) branches that I myself may be grafted in.
You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
20 Rightly so; by the unbelief they were broken off, you yourself however by faith have stood. Not high do be minded but do be afraid;
True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;
21 If for God the according to nature branches not spared, surely (perhaps *NK*) neither you (will He spare. *N(k)O*)
for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
22 Behold therefore [the] kindness and severity of God; upon indeed those having fallen (severity, *N(k)O*) toward however you (kindness *N(k)O*) (of God, *NO*) if (you shall continue in *NK(O)*) the kindness; otherwise also you yourself will be cut off.
See 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 And they And they now only unless (they shall continue *N(k)O*) in unbelief, [then] they will be grafted in; able for is God again to graft in them;
They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 If for you yourself out of the according to nature were cut off a wild olive tree and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more these who according to nature [are] will be grafted into their own olive tree?
For 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 Not for I want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the mystery this, that not you may be (beside *NK(o)*) yourselves wise, that a hardening in part to Israel has happened until that the fullness of the Gentiles may come in,
For I do not 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 non-Jews has come in,
26 and so all Israel will be saved even as it has been written: Will come out of Zion the [One] Delivering, (and *k*) He will remove ungodliness from Jacob;
and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 And this [is] to them the from Me covenant, when I may take away the sins of them.
This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
28 As regards indeed the gospel [they are] enemies on account of you As regards however the election beloved on account of the patriarchs;
Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are loved for the fathers' sake.
29 Irrevocable for [are] the gifts and the calling of God.
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
30 Just as for (and *k*) you yourselves once were disobedient to God now however were shown mercy to them through their disobedience,
For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
31 so also these now were disobedient to your mercy so that also they themselves (now *NO*) may have mercy shown [them].
even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may now also obtain mercy.
32 Has bound up for God all in disobedience that all He may show mercy to. (eleēsē )
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. (eleēsē )
33 O [the] depth of riches both of wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable the judgments of Him and untraceable the ways of Him!
Oh 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 for has known [the] mind of [the] Lord? or who counselor of Him has been?
For "Who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"
35 Or who has first given to Him, and it will be recompensed to him?
"Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
36 For from Him and through Him and unto Him [are] all things; To Him [be] the glory to the ages! Amen. (aiōn )
For from him and by him and in him are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen. (aiōn )
