Romans 11:1

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.

I ask then, Has God cast off His People? No, indeed. Why, I myself am an Israelite, of the posterity of Abraham and of the tribe of Benjamin.

So I say, Has God put his people on one side? Let there be no such thought. For I am of Israel, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Romans 11:11

I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.

God has not cast off His People whom He knew beforehand. Or are you ignorant of what Scripture says in speaking of Elijah how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying,

God has not put away the people of his selection. Or have you no knowledge of what is said about Elijah in the holy Writings? how he says words to God against Israel,

Romans 11:12

Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?

"Lord, they have put Thy Prophets to death, and have overthrown Thy altars; and, now that I alone remain, they are thirsting for my blood"?

Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.

Romans 11:13

For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,

But what did God say to him in reply? "I have reserved for Myself 7,000 men who have never bent the knee to Baal."

But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.

Romans 11:14

If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.

In the same way also at the present time there has come to be a remnant whom God in His grace has selected.

In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

Romans 11:15

For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

But if it is in His grace that He has selected them, then His choice is no longer determined by human actions. Otherwise grace would be grace no longer.

But if it is of grace, then it is no longer of works: or grace would not be grace.

Romans 11:16

For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

How then does the matter stand? It stands thus. That which Israel are in earnest pursuit of, they have not obtained; but God's chosen servants have obtained it, and the rest have become hardened.

What then? That which Israel was searching for he did not get, but those of the selection got it and the rest were made hard.

Romans 11:17

And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,

And so Scripture says, "God has given them a spirit of drowsiness eyes to see nothing with and ears to hear nothing with even until now."

As it was said in the holy Writings, God gave them a spirit of sleep, eyes which might not see, and ears which have no hearing, to this day.

Romans 11:18

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

And David says, "Let their very food become a snare and a trap to them, a stumbling-block and a retribution.

And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:

Romans 11:19

Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

Let darkness come over their eyes that they may be unable to see, and make Thou their backs continually to stoop."

Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.

Romans 11:20

Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.

I ask, however, "Have they stumbled so as to be finally ruined?" No, indeed; but by their lapse salvation has come to the Gentiles in order to arouse the jealousy of the descendants of Israel;

So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy.

Romans 11:21

For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.

and if their lapse is the enriching of the world, and their overthrow the enriching of the Gentiles, will not still greater good follow their restoration?

Now, if their fall is the wealth of the world, and their loss the wealth of the Gentiles, how much greater will be the glory when they are made full?

Romans 11:22

See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

But to you Gentiles I say that, since I am an Apostle specially sent to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry,

But I say to you, Gentiles, in so far as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I make much of my position:

Romans 11:23

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

trying whether I can succeed in rousing my own countrymen to jealousy and thus save some of them.

If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

Romans 11:24

For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

For if their having been cast aside has carried with it the reconciliation of the world, what will their being accepted again be but Life out of death?

For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

Romans 11:25

For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.

Now if the firstfruits of the dough are holy, so also is the whole mass; and if the root of a tree is holy, so also are the branches.

And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the mass: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Romans 11:26

And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

And if some of the branches have been pruned away, and you, although you were but a wild olive, have been grafted in among them and have become a sharer with others in the rich sap of the root of the olive tree,

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

Romans 11:27

And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.

beware of glorying over the natural branches. Or if you are so glorying, do not forget that it is not you who uphold the root: the root upholds you.

Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

Romans 11:28

As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.

"Branches have been lopped off," you will say, "for the sake of my being grafted in."

You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

Romans 11:29

For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.

This is true; yet it was their unbelief that cut them off, and you only stand through your faith.

Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

Romans 11:30

For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;

Do not be puffed up with pride. Tremble rather for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you.

For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

Romans 11:31

So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.

Notice therefore God's kindness and God's severity. On those who have fallen His severity has descended, but upon you His kindness has come, provided that you do not cease to respond to that kindness. Otherwise you will be cut off also.

See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

Romans 11:32

For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.

Moreover, if they turn from their unbelief, they too will be grafted in. For God is powerful enough to graft them in again;

And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

Romans 11:33

O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!

and if you were cut from that which by nature is a wild olive and contrary to nature were grafted into the good olive tree, how much more certainly will these natural branches be grafted on their own olive tree?

For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

Romans 11:34

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?

For there is a truth, brethren, not revealed hitherto, of which I do not wish to leave you in ignorance, for fear you should attribute superior wisdom to yourselves the truth, I mean, that partial blindness has fallen upon Israel until the great mass of the Gentiles have come in;

For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

Romans 11:35

Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?

and so all Israel will be saved. As is declared in Scripture, "From Mount Zion a Deliverer will come: He will remove all ungodliness from Jacob;

And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

Romans 11:36

For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

and this shall be My Covenant with them; when I have taken away their sins."

And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.
