11:1  I ask 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 whom He foreknew. Know ye not what the Scripture saith of Elijah, how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
11:3  “Lord, they have killed Thy prophets and torn down Thine altars, and I am 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.”
11:5  Even so then, at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
11:6  And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it be by works, then it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer 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,
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.”
11:9  And David saith, “Let their table be made a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a recompense unto them.
11:10  Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their backs alway.”
11:11  I say then: Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid! But rather, through their fall salvation has come unto the Gentiles 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 fullness?
11:13  For I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my office,
11:14  that by any means I may provoke to emulation those who are my flesh, and might 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?
11:16  For if the firstfruit be holy, the whole 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  Thou sayest 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 those who 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 are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
11:25  For I, brethren, would not have you be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits: that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
11:26  And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: “There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
11:27  For this is My covenant unto them when I shall take away their sins.”
11:28  Concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but concerning 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 in times past ye have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief,
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 counselor?”
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 glory for ever. Amen.
