11:1 Therefore I say, God did not shove away his people, did he? Let it not happen! For* I am also an Israelite, from the seed of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. {Psa 94:14}

11:2 God did not shove away his people which he knew beforehand. Or do you* not know what the Scripture says in regard to Elijah? How he petitions God against Israel, saying,

11:3 'Lord, they killed your prophets and made ruins of your altars, and I was left alone and they are seeking my life.' {1Ki. 19:10,14}

11:4 But what does the divine-answer say to him? 'I left to myself seven thousand men, who did not bow the knee to Baal.' {1Ki. 19:18}

11:5 Therefore so there has also become a remnant according to the chosen of grace in this current time.

11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no more from works, otherwise grace becomes grace no more. But if it is from works, no more is it grace; otherwise work is work no more.

11:7 Therefore what? What Israel is seeking after, it did not obtain this, but the chosen obtained it and the rest were hardened;

11:8 just-as it has been written, 'God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes in order that they should not see and ears in order that they should not hear, until this very day.' {Isa 29:10, 6:9}

11:9 And David says, 'Let their table become *for a snare and *for a trap and *for an offense and *for a repayment to them.

11:10 Let* their eyes be darkened not to see and may you always bow down their back.' {Psa 69:22-23}



11:11 Therefore I say, They did not trip in order that they might fall, did they? Let it not happen! But salvation has come to the Gentiles in their trespass, *that* they might provoke them to jealousy.

11:12 Now if their trespass is the riches of the world and their loss is the riches of the Gentiles; how-much more is their fullness?

11:13 For* I speak to you* who are Gentiles, inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my service;

11:14 if somehow I provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and might save some out of them.

11:15 For* if the casting away of them is the reconciliation of the world, what is the receiving of them, except life from the dead?



11:16 Now if the first-fruit is holy, also is the batch and if the root is holy, also are the branches.

11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive-tree, were grafted in among them and became a fellow partner of the root and of the plumpness of the olive-tree among them.

11:18 Do not boast against the branches, but if you are boasting against them, you are not bearing the root, but the root bears you.

11:19 Therefore you will say, Branches were broken off, in order that I might be grafted in.

11:20 Well; they were broken off in their unbelief but you are standing in the faith. Do not be cavalier, but fear;

11:21 for* if God did not spare what is according to nature: branches; lest he will neither be sparing you.

11:22 Therefore, behold the kindness and severity of God, indeed severity upon those who fell short, but kindness upon you, if you remain in the kindness of God: otherwise you also will be cut off.

11:23 And also those will be grafted in, if they do not remain in their unbelief; for* God is able to graft them in again.

11:24 For* if you were cut off from what is according to nature a wild olive-tree and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how-much more these, the ones according to nature, will be grafted into their own olive-tree?



11:25 For* brethren, I do not wish you* to be ignorant of this mystery (that* you* may not be too prudent with yourselves), that a hardening has happened partially to Israel, till the fullness of the Gentiles should enter;

11:26 and thus all spiritual Israel will be saved, just-as it has been written, 'There will come out of Zion, he who rescues and he will turn away various ungodlinesses from Jacob.

11:27 And this is my covenant* with them, whenever I take away their sins.' {Isa 59:20-21, 27:9}

11:28 According to the good-news they are indeed enemies because of you*, but according to the choice, they are beloved because of the fathers.

11:29 For* the gifts* and the calling {Or: invitation; and in all other instances in the MLV} of God are unregretted.

11:30 For* just-like you* were also previously disobedient to God, but now you* were shown-mercy by the disobedience of these,

11:31 so now these also were disobedient in your* mercy, in order that they might also be shown-mercy.

11:32 For* God locked up all together in disobedience, in order that he might show-mercy upon all.



11:33 O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and untraceable his ways!

11:34 For* who knew the mind of the Lord? Or who has become his counselor? {Isa 40:13}

11:35 Or who first-gave to him and it will be repaid to him again?

11:36 It is because all things are from him and through him and to him. The glory is for him, forever. Amen.
