< Romans 11 >
1 to say therefore/then not to reject the/this/who God the/this/who a people it/s/he not to be and for I/we Israelite to be out from seed: offspring Abraham tribe Benjamin
I ask, then, “Has God rejected his people?” Heaven forbid! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 no to reject the/this/who God the/this/who a people it/s/he which to know/choose or no to know in/on/among Elijah which? to say the/this/who a writing as/when to call on the/this/who God according to the/this/who Israel (to say *k*)
God has not rejected his people, whom he chose from the first. Have you forgotten the words of scripture in the story of Elijah – how he appeals to God against Israel?
3 lord: God the/this/who prophet you to kill (and *k*) the/this/who altar you to ruin I/we and to leave alone and to seek the/this/who soul: life me
“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have pulled down your altars, and I only am left; and now they are eager to take my life.”
4 but which? to say it/s/he the/this/who proclamation to leave behind I/we seven thousand man who/which no to bend/bow a knee the/this/who Baal
But what was the divine response? “I have kept for myself seven thousand who have never bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 thus(-ly) therefore/then and in/on/among the/this/who now time/right time remnant according to selecting grace to be
And so in our own time, too, there is to be found a remnant of our nation selected by God in love.
6 if then grace no still out from work since the/this/who grace no still to be grace (if *KO*) (then out from work no still to be grace since the/this/who work no still to be work *K*)
But if in love, then it is not as a result of obedience. Otherwise love would cease to be love.
7 which? therefore/then which to seek after Israel (this/he/she/it *N(k)O*) no to obtain the/this/who then selecting to obtain the/this/who then remaining to harden
What follows from this? Why, that Israel as a nation failed to secure what it was seeking, while those whom God selected did secure it.
8 (as/just as *NK(o)*) to write to give it/s/he the/this/who God spirit/breath: spirit stupor eye the/this/who not to see and ear the/this/who not to hear until the/this/who today day
The rest grew callous; as scripture says – “God has given them a deadness of mind – eyes that are not to see and ears that are not to hear – and it is so to this very day.”
9 and David to say to be the/this/who table it/s/he toward trap and toward trap and toward stumbling block and toward repayment it/s/he
David, too, says – “May their feasts prove a snare and a trap to them – a hindrance and a retribution;
10 to darken the/this/who eye it/s/he the/this/who not to see and the/this/who back it/s/he (through/because of *N(K)O*) (all *N(k)O*) to bend
may their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see; and do you always make their backs to bend.”
11 to say therefore/then not to stumble in order that/to to collapse not to be but the/this/who it/s/he trespass the/this/who salvation the/this/who Gentiles toward the/this/who to make envious it/s/he
I ask then – “Was their stumbling to result in their fall?” Heaven forbid! On the contrary, through their falling away salvation has reached the Gentiles, to stir the rivalry of Israel.
12 if then the/this/who trespass it/s/he riches world and the/this/who loss it/s/he riches Gentiles how much/many? more the/this/who fulfillment it/s/he
And, if their falling away has enriched the world, and their failure has enriched the Gentiles, how much more will result from their full restoration!
13 you (then *N(k)O*) to say the/this/who Gentiles upon/to/against just as/how much on the other hand (therefore/then *NO*) to be I/we Gentiles apostle the/this/who service me to glorify
But I am speaking to you who were Gentiles.
14 if: if only how to make envious me the/this/who flesh and to save one out from it/s/he
Being myself an apostle to the Gentiles, I exalt my office, in the hope that I may stir my countrymen to rivalry, and so save some of them.
15 if for the/this/who deprivation it/s/he reconciliation world which? the/this/who acceptance if not life out from dead
For, if their being cast aside has meant the reconciliation of the world, what will their reception mean, but life from the dead?
16 if then the/this/who firstfruits holy and the/this/who lump and if the/this/who root holy and the/this/who branch
If the first handful of dough is holy, so is the whole mass, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 if then one the/this/who branch to break off you then wild olive tree to be to ingraft in/on/among it/s/he and sharer the/this/who root (and *ko*) the/this/who richness the/this/who olive tree to be
Some, however, of the branches were broken off, and you, who were only a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and came to share with them the root which is the source of the richness of the cultivated olive.
18 not to boast the/this/who branch if then to boast no you the/this/who root to carry but the/this/who root you
Yet do not exult over the other branches. But, if you do exult over them, remember that you do not support the root, but that the root supports you.
19 to say therefore/then to break off (the/this/who *k*) branch in order that/to I/we to ingraft
But branches, you will say, were broken off, so that I might be grafted in.
20 well the/this/who unbelief to break off you then the/this/who faith to stand not high to reason but to fear
True, it was because of their want of faith that they were broken off, and it is because of your faith that you are standing. Do not think too highly of yourself, but beware.
21 if for the/this/who God the/this/who according to nature branch no to spare not (how *NK*) nor you (to spare *N(k)O*)
For, if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
22 look! therefore/then kindness and severity God upon/to/against on the other hand the/this/who to collapse (severity *N(k)O*) upon/to/against then you (kindness *N(k)O*) (God *NO*) if (to remain/keep on *NK(O)*) the/this/who kindness since and you to prevent
See, then, both the goodness and the severity of God – his severity towards those who fell, and his goodness towards you, provided that you continue to confide in that goodness; otherwise you, also, will be cut off.
23 and that then if not (to remain/keep on *N(k)O*) the/this/who unbelief to ingraft able for to be the/this/who God again to ingraft it/s/he
And they, too, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God has it in his power to graft them in again.
24 if for you out from the/this/who according to nature to prevent wild olive tree and from/with/beside nature to ingraft toward olive tree how much/many? more this/he/she/it the/this/who according to nature to ingraft the/this/who one's own/private olive tree
If you were cut off from your natural stock – a wild olive – and were grafted, contrary to the course of nature, on a good olive, much more will they – the natural branches – be grafted back into their parent tree.
25 no for to will/desire you be ignorant brother the/this/who mystery this/he/she/it in order that/to not to be (from/with/beside *NK(o)*) themself thoughtful that/since: that hardening away from part the/this/who Israel to be until which the/this/who fulfillment the/this/who Gentiles to enter
My friends, so that you don’t think too highly of yourselves, I want you to recognise the truth, hitherto hidden, that the callousness which has come over Israel is only partial, and will continue only until the whole Gentile world has been gathered in.
26 and thus(-ly) all Israel to save as/just as to write to come/be present out from Zion the/this/who to rescue (and *k*) to turn away ungodlinessness away from Jacob
And then all Israel will be saved. As scripture says – “From Zion will come the Deliverer; he will banish ungodliness from Jacob.
27 and this/he/she/it it/s/he the/this/who from/with/beside I/we covenant when(-ever) to remove the/this/who sin it/s/he
And they will see the fulfilment of my covenant, when I have taken away their sins.”
28 according to on the other hand the/this/who gospel enemy through/because of you according to then the/this/who selecting beloved through/because of the/this/who father
From the standpoint of the good news, the Jews are God’s enemies for your sake; but from the standpoint of God’s selection, they are dear to him for the sake of the patriarchs.
29 irrevocable for the/this/who gift and the/this/who calling the/this/who God
For God never regrets his gifts or his call.
30 just as for (and *k*) you once/when to disobey the/this/who God now then to have mercy the/this/who this/he/she/it disobedience
Just as you at one time were disobedient to him, but have now found mercy in the day of their disobedience;
31 thus(-ly) and this/he/she/it now to disobey the/this/who you mercy in order that/to and it/s/he (now *NO*) to have mercy
so, too, they have now become disobedient in your day of mercy, in order that they also in their turn may now find mercy.
32 to confine for the/this/who God the/this/who all toward disobedience in order that/to the/this/who all to have mercy (eleēsē )
For God has given all alike over to disobedience, that to all alike he may show mercy. (eleēsē )
33 oh! depth riches and wisdom and knowledge God as/when unsearchable the/this/who judgment it/s/he and unsearchable the/this/who road it/s/he
Oh! The unfathomable wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments, how untraceable his ways! Yes –
34 which? for to know mind lord: God or which? counselor it/s/he to be
ho has ever comprehended the mind of the Lord? Who has ever become his counsellor?
35 or which? to give in advance it/s/he and to repay it/s/he
Or who has first given to him, so that he may claim a reward?
36 that/since: since out from it/s/he and through/because of it/s/he and toward it/s/he the/this/who all it/s/he the/this/who glory toward the/this/who an age: eternity amen (aiōn )
For all things are from him, through him, and for him. And to him be all glory for ever and ever! Amen. (aiōn )
