Romans 11
Revised Literal Translation
1I sayG3004 thenG3767, HathG683 GodG3588G2316 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG3588G2992? God forbidG3361G1096. ForG1063 IG1473 alsoG2532 amG1510 an IsraeliteG2475, ofG1537 the seedG4690 of AbrahamG11, of the tribeG5443 of BenjaminG958. 2GodG3588G2316 hathG683 notG3756 cast awayG683 hisG846 peopleG3588G2992 whichG3739 he foreknewG4267. Wot yeG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 the scriptureG3588G1124 saithG3004 ofG1722 ElijahG2243? howG5613 he maketh intercessionG1793 to GodG3588G2316 againstG2596 IsraelG2474, sayingG3004, 3LordG2962, they have killedG615 thyG4771 prophetsG3588G4396, andG2532 digged downG2679 thineG4771 altarsG3588G2379; and IG2504 am leftG5275 aloneG3441, andG2532 they seekG2212 myG1473 lifeG3588G5590. 4ButG235 whatG5101 saithG3004 the answer of GodG3588G5538 unto himG846? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 seven thousandG2035 menG435, whoG3748 haveG2578 notG3756 bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 toG896 the image of BaalG896. 5Even soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 this presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there isG1096 a remnantG3005 according toG2596 the electionG1589 of graceG5485. 6AndG1161 ifG1487 by graceG5485, thenG3765 is it no moreG3765 ofG1537 worksG2041: otherwiseG1893 graceG3588G5485 isG1096 no moreG3765 graceG5485. ButG1161 ifG1487 it be ofG1537 worksG2041, thenG3765 is itG1510 no moreG3765 graceG5485: otherwiseG1893 workG3588G2041 isG1510 no moreG3765 workG2041. 7
WhatG5101 thenG3767? IsraelG2474 hathG2013 notG3756 obtainedG2013 thatG3778 whichG3739 he seeketh forG1934; butG1161 the electionG1589 hath obtained itG2013, andG1161 the restG3062 were blindedG4456 8(According asG2531 it is writtenG1125, GodG3588G2316 hath givenG1325 themG846 the spiritG4151 of slumberG2659, eyesG3788 that they shouldG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 earsG3775 that they shouldG191 notG3361 hearG191;) untoG2193 thisG4594 dayG2250. 9AndG2532 DavidG1138 saithG3004, LetG1096 theirG846 tableG3588G5132 be madeG1096 a snareG3803, andG2532 a trapG2339, andG2532 a stumblingblockG4625, andG2532 a recompenceG468 unto themG846: 10LetG4654 theirG846 eyesG3588G3788 be darkenedG4654, that they mayG991 notG3361 seeG991, andG2532 bow downG4781 theirG846 backG3588G3577 alwayG1275. 11
I sayG3004 thenG3767, Have they stumbledG4417 thatG2443 they should fallG4098? God forbidG3361G1096: butG235 rather throughG3900 theirG846 fallG3900 salvationG3588G4991 is come unto the GentilesG3588G1484, forG1519 to provokeG3863 themG846 to jealousyG3863. 12NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3588G3900 of themG846 be the richesG4149 of the worldG2889, andG2532 the diminishingG3588G2275 of themG846 the richesG4149 of the GentilesG1484; how muchG4214 moreG3123 theirG846 fulnessG3588G4138? 13ForG1063 I speakG3004 to youG4771 GentilesG3588G1484, inasmuch asG3745 IG1473 amG1510 the apostleG652 of the GentilesG1484, I magnifyG1392 mineG1473 officeG3588G1248: 14IfG1487 by any meansG4459 I may provoke to emulationG3863 them which are myG1473 fleshG3588G4561, andG2532 might saveG4982 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846. 15ForG1063 ifG1487 the casting awayG3588G580 of themG846 be the reconcilingG2643 of the worldG2889, whatG5101 shall the receivingG3588G4356 of them be, butG3361 lifeG2222 fromG1537 the deadG3498? 16ForG1161 ifG1487 the firstfruitG3588G536 be holyG40, the lumpG3588G5445 is alsoG2532 holy: andG2532 ifG1487 the rootG3588G4491 be holyG40, soG2532 are the branchesG3588G2798.
17AndG1161 ifG1487 someG5100 of the branchesG3588G2798 be broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771, beingG1510 a wild olive treeG65, wert graffedG1461 inG1722 among themG846, andG2532 with them partakestG4791 of the rootG3588G4491 andG2532 fatnessG3588G4096 of the olive treeG3588G1636; 18BoastG2620 notG3361 against the branchesG3588G2798. ButG1161 ifG1487 thou boastG2620, thouG4771 bearestG941 notG3756 the rootG3588G4491, butG235 the rootG3588G4491 theeG4771. 19Thou wilt sayG2046 thenG3767, The branchesG3588G2798 were broken offG1575, thatG2443 IG1473 might be graffed inG1461. 20WellG2573; because of unbeliefG3588G570 they were broken offG1575, andG1161 thouG4771 standestG2476 by faithG3588G4102. BeG5309 notG3361 highmindedG5309, butG235 fearG5399: 21ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG3588G2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 theG2798 naturalG5449 branchesG2798, take heed lestG3381 heG5339 alsoG3761 spareG5339 notG3761 theeG4771. 22BeholdG3708 thereforeG3767 the goodnessG5544 andG2532 severityG663 of GodG2316: onG1909 them which fellG4098, severityG663; butG1161 towardG1909 theeG4771, goodnessG5544, ifG1437 thou continueG1961 inG3588G5544 his goodnessG3588G5544: otherwiseG1893 thouG4771 alsoG2532 shalt be cut offG1581.
23AndG1161 theyG1565 alsoG2532, ifG1437 they abideG1961 notG3361 stillG1961 in unbeliefG3588G570, shall be graffed inG1461: forG1063 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 ableG1415 to graffG1461 themG846 inG1461 againG3825. 24ForG1063 ifG1487 thouG4771 wert cut outG1581 ofG1537 the olive tree which is wildG65 byG2596 natureG5449, andG2532 wert graffedG1461 contrary toG3844 natureG5449 intoG1519 a good olive treeG2565: how muchG4214 moreG3123 shallG1461 theseG3778, which beG3588 the naturalG5449 branches, be graffed intoG1461 their ownG2398 olive treeG1636? 25ForG1063 I wouldG2309 notG3756, brethrenG80, thatG2309 yeG4771 should be ignorant ofG50 thisG3778 mysteryG3588G3466, lestG2443 ye should beG1510 wiseG5429 inG3844 your own conceitsG1438; thatG3754 blindnessG4457 inG575 partG3313 is happenedG1096 to IsraelG2474, untilG891 the fulnessG3588G4138 of the GentilesG3588G1484 be come inG1525. 26AndG2532 soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be savedG4982: asG2531 it is writtenG1125, There shall comeG2240 out ofG1537 ZionG4622 the DelivererG4506, andG2532 shall turn awayG654 ungodlinessG763 fromG575 JacobG2384: 27ForG2532 thisG3778 is myG1473 covenantG1242 unto themG846, whenG3752 I shall take awayG851 theirG846 sinsG3588G266. 28As concerningG2596 the gospelG3588G2098, they are enemiesG2190 forG1223 yourG4771 sakesG1223: butG1161 as touchingG2596 the electionG3588G1589, they are belovedG27 forG1223 the fathers’G3588G3962 sakesG1223. 29ForG1063 the giftsG3588G5486 andG2532 callingG3588G2821 of GodG3588G2316 are without repentanceG278. 30ForG1063 asG5618 yeG4771 in times pastG4218 have not believedG544 GodG3588G2316, yetG1161 haveG1653 nowG3568 obtained mercyG1653 throughG543 theirG3778 unbeliefG543: 31Even soG3779 haveG544 theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believedG544, thatG2443 through yourG5212 mercyG1656 theyG846 alsoG2532 may obtain mercyG1653. 32ForG1063 GodG3588G2316 hath concludedG4788 them allG3956 inG1519 unbeliefG543, thatG2443 he might have mercy uponG1653 allG3956.
33OG5599 the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 andG2532 knowledgeG1108 of GodG2316! howG5613 unsearchableG419 are hisG846 judgmentsG3588G2917, andG2532 hisG846 waysG3588G3598 past finding outG421! 34ForG1063 whoG5101 hath knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the LordG2962? orG2228 whoG5101 hath beenG1096 hisG846 counsellorG4825? 35OrG2228 whoG5101 hath first givenG4272 to himG846, andG2532 it shall be recompensedG467 unto himG846 againG467? 36ForG3754 ofG1537 himG846, andG2532 throughG1223 himG846, andG2532 toG1519 himG846, are all thingsG3956: to whomG846 be gloryG3588G1391 forG1519 everG3588G165. AmenG281.
