ROM 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? By no means. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
ROM 11:2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
ROM 11:3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
ROM 11:4 But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
ROM 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
ROM 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
ROM 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
ROM 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;) to this day.
ROM 11:9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them:
ROM 11:10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
ROM 11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means: but rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
ROM 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 fullness?
ROM 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
ROM 11:14 If by any means I may incite to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
ROM 11:15 For if the rejection of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
ROM 11:16 For if the first fruit is holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
ROM 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive-tree, art ingrafted among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;
ROM 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
ROM 11:19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be ingrafted.
ROM 11:20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
ROM 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
ROM 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou shalt continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
ROM 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be ingrafted: for God is able to ingraft them again.
ROM 11:24 For if thou wast cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and wast ingrafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive-tree?
ROM 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 hath happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall be come in.
ROM 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:
ROM 11:27 For this is my covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins.
ROM 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
ROM 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
ROM 11:30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;
ROM 11:31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
ROM 11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
ROM 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!
ROM 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?
ROM 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
ROM 11:36 For from him, and by him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
