Romans 11:7-14

7WhatG5101 thenG3767? WhatG3739 IsraelG2474 was seekingG1934, it failed to obtainG3756G2013, butG1161 theG3588 electG1589 did. TheG3588 othersG3062 were hardenedG4456, 8asG2531 it is writtenG1125:

“GodG2316 gaveG1325 themG846 a spiritG4151 of stuporG2659,eyesG3788 thatG3588 could not seeG3361G991,andG2532 earsG3775 thatG3588 could not hearG3361G191,toG2193 this very dayG4594G2250.”1

9AndG2532 DavidG1138 saysG3004:

“May theirG846 tableG5132 becomeG1096G1519 a snareG3803 andG2532 a trapG2339,a stumbling blockG4625 andG2532 a retributionG468 to themG846.10May theirG846 eyesG3788 be darkenedG4654 so they cannot seeG3361G3588G991,andG2532 theirG846 backsG3577 be bentG4781 foreverG1223G3956.”2

11I askG3004 thenG3767, did they stumbleG3361G4417 so asG2443 to fall beyond recoveryG4098?3 Certainly notG3361G1096! HoweverG235, because ofG3588 theirG846 trespassG3900, salvationG4991 has come to theG3588 GentilesG1484 toG1519 make Israel jealousG3863G846. 12ButG1161 ifG1487 theirG846 trespassG3900 means richesG4149 for the worldG2889, andG2532 theirG846 failureG2275 means richesG4149 for the GentilesG1484, how muchG4214 greaterG3123 riches will theirG846 fullnessG4138 bring!

13

I am speakingG3004 to youG4771 GentilesG1484. InasmuchG1909G3303G3745G3767 as IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 to the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 myG1473 ministryG1248 14in the hope thatG1487G4459 I may provokeG3863 myG1473 own people to jealousyG4561 andG2532 saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846.
