Romans 11:16-36

16IfG1487 the 1firstG536 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 2branchesG2798 were brokenG1575 offG1575, and 3you, beingG1510 a wildG65 oliveG65, were graftedG1461 inG1461 amongG1722 them and becameG1096 partakerG4791 with them of the 4richG4096 rootG4491 of the oliveG1636 treeG1636, 18do not be arrogantG2620 towardG2620 the branchesG2798; but ifG1487 you are arrogantG2620, remember that 5it is not you who supportsG941 the rootG4491, but the rootG4491 supports you. 196You 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 7standG2476 by your faithG4102. 8Do 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 9kindnessG5544, 10ifG1437 you continueG1961 in His kindnessG5544; forG1893 otherwiseG1893 you tooG2532 11will be cutG1581 offG1581. 23And they alsoG2548, 12ifG1437 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 13I do not wantG2309 you, brothersG80 and sisters, to be uninformedG50 of thisG3778 14mysteryG3466--soG2443 thatG2443 you will not be 15wiseG5429 in your ownG1438 estimationG1438--that a partialG3313 16hardeningG4457 has happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474 untilG891 the 17fullnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 has comeG1525 inG1525; 26and soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 will be savedG4982; justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125: “18The DelivererG4506 will comeG2240 from ZionG4622, He will removeG654 ungodlinessG763 from JacobG2384.”27“19ThisG3778 is 20My covenantG1242 with them, 21WhenG3752 I takeG851 awayG851 their sinsG266.” 28InG2596 relationG2596 toG2596 the gospelG2098 they are 22enemiesG2190 onG1223 your accountG1223, but inG2596 relationG2596 toG2596 God’s choiceG1589 they are belovedG27 23onG1223 accountG1223 of the fathersG3962; 29for the giftsG5486 and the 24callingG2821 of GodG2316 25are 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 26GodG2316 has shutG4788 upG4788 allG3956 in disobedienceG543, soG2443 thatG2443 He may showG1653 mercyG1653 to allG3956.

33OhG5599, the depthG899 of 27the richesG4149, 28bothG2532 of the 29wisdomG4678 and knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! 30HowG5613 unsearchableG419 are His judgmentsG2917 and unfathomableG421 His waysG3598! 34For 31whoG5101 has knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962, orG2228 whoG5101 becameG1096 His counselorG4825? 35OrG2228 32whoG5101 has firstG4272 givenG4272 to Him, 33that it would be paidG467 backG467 to him? 36For 34from Him, and throughG1223 Him, and to Him are allG3956 thingsG3956. 35To Him be the gloryG1391 36foreverG165. AmenG281.
