| Romans 11:1 | I ask then, Did God reject his people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. | 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. |
| Romans 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: | 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, |
| Romans 11:3 | "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life." | 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"? |
| Romans 11:4 | But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." | 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." |
| Romans 11:5 | Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. | 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. |
| Romans 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. | 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. |
| Romans 11:7 | What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened. | 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. |
| Romans 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." | 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." |
| Romans 11:9 | David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, A stumbling block, and a retribution to them. | 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. |
| Romans 11:10 | Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always." | 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." |
| Romans 11:11 | I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Certainly not! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. | 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; |
| Romans 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? | 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? |
| Romans 11:13 | For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry; | 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, |
| Romans 11:14 | if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them. | 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. |
| Romans 11:15 | For if the rejection of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what would the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? | 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? |
| Romans 11:16 | If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches. | 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. |
| Romans 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 of the richness of the olive tree; | 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, |
| Romans 11:18 | don't boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who bear the root, but the root you. | 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. |
| Romans 11:19 | You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." | 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." |
| Romans 11:20 | True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear; | 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. |
| Romans 11:21 | for if God didn't spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. | 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. |
| Romans 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. | 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. |
| Romans 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. | 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; |
| Romans 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? | 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? |
| Romans 11:25 | For I don't desire, brothers, to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles have come in, | 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; |
| Romans 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. | 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; |
| Romans 11:27 | This is my covenant to them, When I will take away their sins." | 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." |
| Romans 11:28 | Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake. | | 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. |
| Romans 11:29 | For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. | | For God does not repent of His free gifts nor of His call; |
| Romans 11:30 | For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, | | but just as you were formerly disobedient to Him, but now have received mercy at a time when they are disobedient, |
| Romans 11:31 | even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also 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. |
| Romans 11:32 | For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. | | For God has locked up all in the prison of unbelief, that upon all alike He may have mercy. |
| Romans 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! | | 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! |
| Romans 11:34 | "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" | | "Who has ever known the mind of the Lord, or shared His counsels?" |
| Romans 11:35 | "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?" | | "Who has first given God anything, so as to receive payment in return?" |
| Romans 11:36 | For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the 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. |
