I sayG2046 then,G3767 Has GodG2316 castG683 awayG683 his people?G2992 GodG3361 G1096 forbid.G3361 G1096 For I alsoG2532 amG1510 an Israelite,G2475 of the seedG4690 of Abraham,G11 of the tribeG5443 of Benjamin.G958
2
GodG2316 has not castG683 awayG683 his peopleG2992 whichG3739 he foreknew.G4267 KnowG1492 you not whatG5101 the scriptureG1124 saidG3004 of Elias?G2243 howG5613 he makesG1793 intercessionG1793 to GodG2316 againstG2596 Israel G2474saying,G3004
3
Lord,G2962 they have killedG615 your prophets,G4396 and digG2679 downG2679 yourG4675 altars;G2379 and I am leftG5275 alone,G3441 and they seekG2212 my life.G5590
4
But whatG5101 saidG3004 the answerG5538 of God to him? I have reservedG2641 to myselfG1683 sevenG2035 thousandG2035 men,G435 whoG3748 have not bowedG2578 the kneeG1119 to the image of Baal.G896
5
EvenG2532 soG3779 thenG3767 atG1722 thisG3588 presentG3568 timeG2540 alsoG2532 there is a remnantG3005 accordingG2596 to the electionG1589 of grace.G5485
6
And ifG1487 by grace,G5485 then is it noG3765 moreG2089 of works:G2041 otherwiseG1893 graceG5485 is noG3765 moreG2089 grace.G5485 But ifG1487 it be of works,G2041 then it is noG3765 moreG2089 grace:G5485 otherwiseG1893 workG2041 is noG3765 moreG2089 work.G2041
7
WhatG5101 then?G3767 IsraelG2474 has not obtainedG2013 that whichG3739 he seeksG1934 for; but the electionG1589 has obtainedG2013 it, and the restG3062 were blinded.G4456
8
(AccordingG2531 as it is written,G1125 GodG2316 has givenG1325 them the spiritG4151 of slumber,G2659 eyesG3788 that they should not see,G991 and earsG3775 that they should not hear;G191) to thisG4594 day.G2250
9
And DavidG1138 said,G3004 Let their tableG5132 be madeG1096 a snare,G3803 and a trap,G2339 and a stumbling block,G4625 and a recompenseG468 to them:
10
Let their eyesG3788 be darkened,G4654 that they may not see,G991 and bowG4781 downG4781 their backG3577 always.G1275
11
I sayG2046 then,G3767 Have they stumbledG4417 that they should fall?G4098 GodG3361 G1096 forbid:G3361 G1096 but rather through their fallG3900 salvationG4991 is come to the Gentiles,G1484 for to provokeG3863 them to jealousy.
12
NowG1161 ifG1487 the fallG3900 of them be the richesG4149 of the world,G2889 and the diminishingG2275 of them the richesG4149 of the Gentiles;G1484 howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 their fullness?G4138
13
For I speakG3004 to you Gentiles,G1484 inasmuchG1909 G3745 as I amG1510 the apostleG652 of the Gentiles,G1484 I magnifyG1392 myG3450 office:G1248
14
IfG1513 by anyG4458 meansG4458 I may provokeG3863 to emulationG3863 them which are my flesh,G4561 and might saveG4982 someG5100 of them.
15
For ifG1487 the castingG580 awayG580 of them be the reconcilingG2643 of the world,G2889 whatG5101 shall the receivingG4356 of them be, but lifeG2222 from the dead?G3498
16
For ifG1487 the first fruitG536 be holy,G40 the lumpG5445 is alsoG2532 holy:G40 and ifG1487 the rootG4491 be holy,G40 soG2532 are the branches.G2798
17
And ifG1487 someG5100 of the branchesG2798 be brokenG1575 off,G1575 and you, beingG5607 a wildG65 oliveG65 tree,G65 were graftedG1461 in amongG1722 them, and with them partakeG1096 G4791 of the rootG4491 and fatnessG4096 of the oliveG1636 tree;
18
BoastG2620 not againstG2620 the branches.G2798 But ifG1487 you boast, you boreG941 not the root,G4491 but the rootG4491 you.
19
You will sayG2046 then,G3767 The branchesG2798 were brokenG1575 off,G1575 that I might be graftedG1461 in.
20
Well;G2573 because of unbeliefG570 they were brokenG1575 off,G1575 and you standG2476 by faith.G4102 Be not high minded,G5309 but fear:G5399
21
For ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 not the naturalG2596 G5449 branches,G2798 take heedG3708 lestG3381 he alsoG3761 spareG5339 not you.
22
BeholdG1492 thereforeG3767 the goodnessG5544 and severityG663 of God:G2316 onG1909 them which fell,G4098 severity;G663 but towardG1909 you, goodness,G5544 ifG1437 you continueG1961 in his goodness:G5544 otherwiseG1893 you alsoG2532 shall be cutG1581 off.G1581
23
And they also,G1161 ifG1437 they abideG1961 not still in unbelief,G570 shall be graftedG1461 in: for GodG2316 is ableG1415 to graftG1461 them in again.G3825
24
For ifG1487 you were cutG1581 out of the oliveG65 treeG65 which is wildG65 by nature,G5449 and were graftedG1461 contraryG3844 to natureG5449 intoG1519 a goodG2565 oliveG2565 tree:G2565 howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 shall these,G3778 which be the naturalG2596 G5449 branches,G2798 be graftedG1461 into their ownG2398 oliveG1636 tree?
25
For I wouldG2309 not, brothers,G80 that you should be ignorantG50 of thisG5124 mystery,G3466 lestG2443 G3361 you should be wiseG5429 in yourG3844 G1438 ownG1438 conceits;G3844 G1438 that blindnessG4457 in partG3313 is happenedG1096 to Israel,G2474 untilG891 the fullnessG4138 of the GentilesG1484 be comeG1525 in.
26
And soG3779 allG3956 IsraelG2474 shall be saved:G4982 as it is written,G1125 There shall comeG2240 out of SionG4622 the Deliverer,G4506 and shall turnG654 awayG654 ungodlinessG763 from Jacob:G2384
27
For thisG3778 is my covenantG1242 to them, whenG3752 I shall takeG851 awayG851 their sins.G266
28
As concerningG2596 the gospel,G2098 they are enemiesG2190 for yourG5209 sakes: but as touchingG2596 the election,G1589 they are belovedG27 for the father'sG3962 sakes.
29
For the giftsG5486 and callingG2821 of GodG2316 are withoutG278 repentance.G278
30
For as you in timesG4218 past have not believedG544 God,G2316 yet have nowG3568 obtainedG1653 mercyG1653 through their unbelief:G543
31
Even soG3779 have theseG3778 alsoG2532 nowG3568 not believed,G544 that through yourG5212 mercyG1656 they alsoG2532 may obtainG1653 mercy.G1653
32
For GodG2316 has concludedG4788 them allG3956 in unbelief,G543 that he might have mercyG1653 on all.G3956
33
O the depthG899 of the richesG4149 bothG2532 of the wisdomG4678 and knowledgeG1108 of God!G2316 howG5613 unsearchableG419 are his judgments,G2917 and his waysG3598 pastG421 findingG421 out!
34
For whoG5101 has knownG1097 the mindG3563 of the Lord?G2962 orG2228 whoG5101 has beenG1096 his counselor?G4825
35
OrG2228 whoG5101 has firstG4272 givenG4272 to him, and it shall be recompensedG467 to him again?G467
36
For of him, and throughG1223 him, and to him, are allG3956 things: to whomG846 be gloryG1391 for ever.G165 Amen.G281
