| 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 say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin: |
| 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 did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known -- in Elijah -- what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying, |
| 11:3 |
Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. |
`Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;' |
| 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 saith the divine answer to him? `I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.' |
| 11:5 |
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. |
So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been; |
| 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. |
and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work. |
| 11:7 |
What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded |
What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened, |
| 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. |

| 11:10 |
Let their eyes be darkened that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. |
let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.' |
| 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 say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation `is' to the nations, to arouse 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? |
and if the fall of them `is' the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them? |
| 11:13 |
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: |
For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify; |
| 11:14 |
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. |
if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them, |
| 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 the casting away of them `is' a reconciliation of the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead? |
| 11:16 |
For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. |
and if the first-fruit `is' holy, the lump also; and if the root `is' holy, the branches also. |
| 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 certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become -- |
| 11:18 |
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. |
do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee! |
| 11:19 |
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. |
Thou wilt say, then, `The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right! |

| 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. |
And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in; |
| 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? |
for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who `are' according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree? |
| 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. |

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

| 11:29 |
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. |
for unrepented of `are' the gifts and the calling of God; |
| 11:30 |
For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: |
for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these: |
| 11:31 |
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. |
so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness; |
| 11:32 |
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. |
for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness. |
