1 I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² |
2 God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel: | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ |
3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”? | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
4 And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” | IP¹ | IP² | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
5 In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ | TT² |
6 And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace. | C | TOSK |
7 What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened, | C | TOSK |
8 as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.” | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
9 And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them. | IP | C | TOSK |
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.” | IP | C | TOSK |
11 I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous. | C | TOSK |
12 But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring! | C | TOSK |
13 I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry | C | TOSK |
14 in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them. | C | TOSK |
15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? | C | TOSK |
16 If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches. | C | TOSK |
17 Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root, | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ |
18 do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. | C | TOSK | TT |
19 You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." | C | TOSK | TT |
20 That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. | C | TOSK | TT |
21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either. | C | TOSK | TT |
22 Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. | C | TOSK | TT |
23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. | C | TOSK | TT |
24 For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! | C | TOSK | TT |
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. | C | TOSK | TT |
26 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | TT⁵ | TT⁵ | TT⁶ | TT⁷ |
27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.” | IP¹ | IP² | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ | TT⁴ | TT⁵ |
28 Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs. | C | TOSK |
29 For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable. | C | TOSK | TT |
30 Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience, | C | TOSK |
31 so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you. | C | TOSK |
32 For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone. | C | TOSK |
33 O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways! | C | TOSK |
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?” | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
35 “Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?” | IP | C | TOSK |
36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen. | C | TOSK |
