Romans 10 | Romans 12
Chapter 11
Israel was chosen (foreordained) according to the election of grace—But some harden their hearts against it—The Gentiles are adopted into the house of Israel—The gospel goes preferentially to the Gentiles until the fulness of the Gentiles.
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.
1.
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,
2.
3. Lord, they have
killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am
left alone, and they seek my life.
3.
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.
4.
5. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the
election of grace.
5.
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.
6.
7. What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest
were blinded
7.
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.
8.
9. And David saith, Let their table be made a
snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a
recompence unto them:
9.
10. Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
10.
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.
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?
12.
13. For I speak to you
Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I
magnify mine office:
13.
14. If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
14.
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?
15.
16. For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the
root be holy, so are the branches.
16.
17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive
tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
17.
18.
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
18.
19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
19.
20. Well; because of
unbelief they were
broken off, and thou standest by
faith. Be not highminded, but
fear:
20.
21. For if God spared not the
natural branches, take heed lest he also
spare not thee.
21.
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.
22.
23. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
23.
24. For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
24.
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.
25.
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:
26.
27. For this is my
covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
27.
28. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
28.
29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
29.
30. For as ye in times past
have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their
unbelief:
30.
31. Even so have these also now not
believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
31.
32. For God hath
concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
32.
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!
33.
34. For who hath known the
mind of the Lord? or who hath been his
counsellor?
34.
35. Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
35.
36. For of him, and
through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
36.
1a. GR May it not be!
