Romans 11:11-32

111I sayG3004 thenG3767, they did not stumbleG4417 soG2443 asG2443 to fallG4098, did they? 23FarG3361 fromG3361 it! But by their wrongdoingG3900 4salvationG4991 has come to the GentilesG1484, to 5makeG3863 them jealousG3863. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 their wrongdoingG3900 proves to be richesG4149 for the worldG2889, and their failureG2275, richesG4149 for the GentilesG1484, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will their 67fulfillmentG4138 be! 13But I am speakingG3004 to you who are GentilesG1484. ThereforeG3767 insofarG1909G3745 as 8I amG1510 an apostleG652 of GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 my ministryG1248 14ifG1487 somehowG4458 I may 9moveG3863 10my 11ownG4561 peopleG4561 toG3863 jealousyG3863 and 12saveG4982 someG5100 of them. 15For ifG1487 their rejectionG580 proves to be the 13reconciliationG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 will their acceptanceG4356 be but 14lifeG2222 from the deadG3498? 16IfG1487 the 15firstG536 pieceG536 of dough is holyG40, the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532; and ifG1487 the rootG4491 is holyG40, the branchesG2798 are asG2532 wellG2532.

17But ifG1487 someG5100 of the 16branchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575, and 17you, beingG1510 a wildG65 oliveG65, were graftedG1461 inG1461 amongG1722 them and becameG1096 partakerG4791 with them of the 18richG4096 rootG4491 of the oliveG1636 treeG1636, 18do not be arrogantG2620 towardG2620 the branchesG2798; but ifG1487 you are arrogantG2620, remember that 19it is not you who supportsG941 the rootG4491, but the rootG4491 supports you. 1920You will sayG3004 thenG3767, “BranchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575 soG2443 thatG2443 I might be graftedG1461 inG1461.” 20QuiteG2573 rightG2573, they were brokenG1575 offG1575 for their unbeliefG570, but you 21standG2476 by your faithG4102. 22Do not beG5426 conceitedG5426G5308, but fearG5399; 21for ifG1487 GodG2316 did not spareG5339 the naturalG5449 branchesG2798, He will not spareG5339 you, eitherG3761. 22SeeG3708 thenG3767 the kindnessG5544 and severityG663 of GodG2316: to thoseG3588 who fellG4098, severityG663, but to you, God’sG2316 23kindnessG5544, 24ifG1437 you continueG1961 in His kindnessG5544; forG1893 otherwiseG1893 you tooG2532 25will be cutG1581 offG1581. 23And they alsoG2548, 26ifG1437 they do not continueG1961 in their unbeliefG570, will be graftedG1461 inG1461; for GodG2316 is ableG1415 to graftG1461 them inG1461 againG3825. 24For ifG1437 you were cutG1581 offG1581 from whatG65 is by natureG5449 a wildG65 oliveG65 treeG65, and contraryG3844 to natureG5449 were graftedG1461 into a cultivatedG2565 oliveG2565 treeG2565, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will theseG3778 whoG3588 are the naturalG2596G5449 branches be graftedG1461 into their ownG2398 oliveG1636 treeG1636?

25For 27I do not wantG2309 you, brothersG80 and sisters, to be uninformedG50 of thisG3778 28mysteryG3466--soG2443 thatG2443 you will not be 29wiseG5429 in your ownG1438 estimationG1438--that a partialG3313 30hardeningG4457 has happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474 untilG891 the 31fullnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 has comeG1525 inG1525; 26and soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 will be savedG4982; justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125: “32The DelivererG4506 will comeG2240 from ZionG4622, He will removeG654 ungodlinessG763 from JacobG2384.”27“33ThisG3778 is 34My covenantG1242 with them, 35WhenG3752 I takeG851 awayG851 their sinsG266.” 28InG2596 relationG2596 toG2596 the gospelG2098 they are 36enemiesG2190 onG1223 your accountG1223, but inG2596 relationG2596 toG2596 God’s choiceG1589 they are belovedG27 37onG1223 accountG1223 of the fathersG3962; 29for the giftsG5486 and the 38callingG2821 of GodG2316 39are irrevocableG278. 30For justG5618 as you onceG4218 were disobedientG544 to GodG2316, but nowG3568 have been shownG1653 mercyG1653 because of their disobedienceG543, 31soG3779 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 have been disobedientG544, that because of the mercyG1656 shown to you they alsoG2532 may nowG3568 be shownG1653 mercyG1653. 32For 40GodG2316 has shutG4788 upG4788 allG3956 in disobedienceG543, soG2443 thatG2443 He may showG1653 mercyG1653 to allG3956.
