Romans Chapter 11
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. |
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 ![]() |
11:3 | Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. |
11:4 | But what saith the ![]() |
11:5 | Even so then at this present ![]() |
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. |
11:7 | What then? ![]() |
11:8 | (According as it is written, God hath given them the ![]() ![]() ![]() |
11:9 | And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them: |

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. |
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? |
11:13 | For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: |
11:14 | If by any means I may provoke to emulation [them which are] my flesh, and might ![]() |
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? |
11:16 | For if the firstfruit [be] holy, the lump [is] also [holy]: and if the root [be] holy, so [are] the branches. |
11:17 | 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; |
11:18 | Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. |
11:19 | Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. |
11:20 | Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: |
11:21 | For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee. |
11:22 | 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. |
11:23 | And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. |
11:24 | 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? |
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 ![]() |

11:27 | For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. |
11:28 | 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. |
11:30 | For as ye in ![]() |
11:31 | Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. |
11:32 | For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. |
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! |
11:34 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? |
11:35 | Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? |
11:36 | For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] ![]() |
