Romans 11:1

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

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 11:2

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

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 11:3

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

"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 11:4

But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

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 11:5

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

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 11:6

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

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 11:7

What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

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 11:8

(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

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 11:9

And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

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 11:10

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

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 11:11

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

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 11:12

Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

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 11:13

For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

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 11:14

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

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 11:15

For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

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 11:16

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

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 11:17

And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

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 11:18

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

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 11:19

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

"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 11:20

Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

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 11:21

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

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 11:22

Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

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 11:23

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

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 11:24

For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

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 11:25

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

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 11:26

And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

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 11:27

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

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.

Romans 11:28

As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

In relation to the Good News, the Jews are God's enemies for your sakes; but in relation to God's choice they are dearly loved for the sake of their forefathers.

As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.

Romans 11:29

For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

For God does not repent of His free gifts nor of His call;

Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

Romans 11:30

For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient,

For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

Romans 11:31

Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

so now they also have been disobedient at a time when you are receiving mercy; so that to them too there may now be mercy.

So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

Romans 11:32

For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy.

For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

Romans 11:33

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Oh, how inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!

O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.

Romans 11:34

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

"Who has ever known the mind of the Lord, or shared His counsels?"

Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?

Romans 11:35

Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

"Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?"

Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?

Romans 11:36

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

For the universe owes its origin to Him, was created by Him, and has its aim and purpose in Him. To Him be the glory throughout the Ages! Amen.

For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. So be it.
