| The Book of Romans 11 | ||||||||||||||||
| The World English Online Bible (WLD) | ||||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 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: | |||||||||||||||
| 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." | |||||||||||||||
| 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." | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:5 | Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 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." | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:9 | David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, A stumbling block, and a retribution to them. | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:10 | Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always." | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 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? | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:13 | For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 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? | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:16 | If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so 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; | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:19 | You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be 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; | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:21 | for if God didn't 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| 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? | |||||||||||||||
| 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, | |||||||||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:27 | This is my covenant to them, When I will take 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. | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:29 | For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:30 | For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:31 | even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy. | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:32 | For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. | |||||||||||||||
| 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! | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:34 | "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:35 | "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?" | |||||||||||||||
| Romans 11:36 | For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen. | |||||||||||||||
