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 say 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 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, whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says about Elijah, how he pleaded 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. I alone am left, and they are seeking 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 what does God's answer say to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bent 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 because of the choice 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*)
But if it is by grace, it is no longer by works. Otherwise grace would no longer be 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? The thing that Israel was seeking, it did not obtain, but the chosen 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.
It is just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of dullness, eyes so that they should not see, and ears so 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;
Then David says, “Let their table become a net and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for 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 may not see, and bend their backs 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 say then, “Did they stumble so as to fall?” May it never be. Instead, by their failure, salvation has come to the Gentiles, in order 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 failure is the riches of the world, and if their loss is the riches of the Gentiles, how much greater will their completion be?
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,
But now I am speaking to you Gentiles, and as long as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry.
14 if at all I will provoke to jealousy of me the flesh and will save some of them.
Perhaps I will provoke to jealousy those who are of my own flesh. Perhaps we will 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 their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will 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 firstfruits are reserved, so is the lump of dough. If the root is reserved, 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, if you, a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them, and if you shared with them in 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 do boast, it is not you who supports the root, but the root that 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 so 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;
That is true. Because of their unbelief they were broken off, but you stand firm because of your faith. Do not think too highly of yourself, 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.
Look at, then, the kind actions and the severity of God: severity came on the Jews who fell, but God's kindness comes on you, if you continue in his kindness. 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;
And even they, 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 what is by nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a good olive tree, how much more will these Jews, who are the natural branches, be grafted back 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 want you to be uninformed, brothers, of this mystery, in order that you will not be wise in your own thinking. This mystery is that a partial hardening has occurred in Israel, until the completion of the Gentiles 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;
Thus all Israel will be saved, just as it is written: “Out of Zion will come the Deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob,
27 And this [is] to them the from Me covenant, when I may take away the sins of them.
and this will be my covenant with 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;
As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake. But as far as election is concerned, they are beloved because of their forefathers.
29 Irrevocable for [are] the gifts and the calling of God.
For the gifts and the call of God are unchangeable.
30 Just as for (and *k*) you yourselves once were disobedient to God now however were shown mercy to them through their disobedience,
For you were formerly disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy because of their disobedience.
31 so also these now were disobedient to your mercy so that also they themselves (now *NO*) may have mercy shown [them].
In the same way, now these Jews have been disobedient. The result was that by the mercy shown to you they may also now receive mercy.
For God has shut up all into disobedience, in order that he might show mercy on all. (eleēsē g1653)
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 beyond discovering!
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 become his advisor?
35 Or who has first given to Him, and it will be recompensed to him?
Or who has first given anything to God, that God must repay him?”
