Romans 11 I say then, Has God rejected his people It may not be. For I also am an Israelite, of Abraham's seed, of the tribe of Benjamin.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I say then, Has God rejected his people It may not be. For I also am an Israelite, of Abraham's seed, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Or know ye not in Elias, what says the writing? how he addresses God against Israel, saying, ³ Lord, thy prophets have they killed, and dug down thine altars; and I alone was left, and they seek my soul. ⁴ But what say to him the intimations of divine will I have left to myself seven thousand men, who bent not the knee to Baal. ⁵ So then also in the time now has been a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶ And if to grace, it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. And if of works, it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. ⁷ What then What Israel seeks for, this be attained not; but the selection attained, and the rest were hardened. ⁸ (As has been written, God gave them the spirit of mortal pain, eyes not to see, and earn not to hear;) even to this day. ⁹ And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for booty, and for a stumblingblock, and for a retribution to them: ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened not to see, and let them bend their back always. ¹¹ I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? It may not be: but by their fall salvation to the nations, to make them jealous. ¹² And if their fall the riches of the world, and their disaster the riches of the nations; how much more their fulness? ¹³ (For I speak to you the nations, inasmuch as truly I am the sent of the nations, I highly value my service: ¹⁴ If in some way I might make jealous my flesh, and I might save some of them.) ¹⁵ For if their rejection the reconciliation of the world, what the reception, but life from the dead? ¹⁶ And if the first fruit holy, also the mixture: and if the root holy, also the young shoots. ¹⁷ And if certain of the young shoots were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in them, and wert a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree; ¹⁸ Act not proudly to the young shoots. And if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. ¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, That the young shoots were broken off, that I might be grafted in. ²⁰ Well; for unbelief were they broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but do thou fear: ²¹ For if God spared not the young shoots according to nature, how will he either spare thee ²² Behold then the goodness and severity of God: truly upon the fallen, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou continue in goodness: otherwise shalt thou also be cut off. ²³ And they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in:for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if thou according to nature wert cut out of the wild olive tree, and against nature wert grafted into the cultivated olive tree: how much more these, according to nature, shall be grafted into their own olive tree ²⁵ For I will not ye should not know, brethren, this mystery, lest ye be wise with yourselves; for hardness from part has been to Israel, till the filling up of the nations come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved: as has been written, The Deliverer shall come out of Sion, and turn away profanation from Jacob. ²⁷ And this the covenant to them with me, when I take away their sins. ²⁸ Truly concerning the good news, enemies for you: and concerning the selection, beloved for the fathers. ²⁹ For the favors and calling of God not causing repentance. ³⁰ For as also ye, when ye were disobedient to God, but now ye have been commiserated by the unbelief of these: ³¹ So they now also were disobedient, by your mercy that they also be commiserated. ³² For God shut them all up together in unbelief, that he might commiserate all. ³³ O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! his judgments how unsearchable, and his ways not traced out! ³⁴ For who knew the mind of the Lord? or who was his counsel? ³⁵ Or who first gave to him, and it shall be given back to him? ³⁶ For of him, and by him, and to him, all things: to him the glory forever Amen.
