(Rome 11:1) I ask 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.
(Rome 11:2) God didn't reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don't you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
(Rome 11:3) "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."
(Rome 11:4) But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal."
(Rome 11:5) Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
(Rome 11:6) And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
(Rome 11:7) What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
(Rome 11:8) 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."
(Rome 11:9) David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
(Rome 11:10) Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always."
(Rome 11:11) I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
(Rome 11:12) Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
(Rome 11:13) For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
(Rome 11:14) if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
(Rome 11:15) For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
(Rome 11:16) If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
(Rome 11:17) 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 root and of the richness of the olive tree;
(Rome 11:18) don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
(Rome 11:19) You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in."
(Rome 11:20) True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;
(Rome 11:21) for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
(Rome 11:22) 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.
(Rome 11:23) They also, if they don't continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
(Rome 11:24) 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?
(Rome 11:25) For I don't 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 Gentiles has come in,
(Rome 11:26) and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
(Rome 11:27) This is my covenant to them, when I will take away their sins."
(Rome 11:28) Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
(Rome 11:29) For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
(Rome 11:30) For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
(Rome 11:31) even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
(Rome 11:32) For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
(Rome 11:33) 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!
(Rome 11:34) "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"
(Rome 11:35) "Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?"
(Rome 11:36) For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
