Romans 11:1-36 I say then, Did not God put away His people? Let it not be said! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ I say then, Did not God put away His people? Let it not be said! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God did not thrust out His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture said in Elijah, how he pleaded with God against Israel, saying, ³ "Lord, they killed Your prophets and dug down Your altars, and I am left alone, and they seek my life." ⁴ But what does the Divine answer say to him? "I have reserved to Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal." ⁵ Even so then, also in this present time a remnant according to the election of grace has come into being. ⁶ But if by grace, then it is no more of works; otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it is of works, then it is no more of grace; otherwise work is no more work. ⁷ What then? Israel has not obtained that which it seeks, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened ⁸ even as it is written, "God gave to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not seeing, and ears not hearing" until this day. ⁹ And David said, "Let their table become for a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense to them. ¹⁰ Let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see, and their back always bowing." ¹¹ I say then, Did they not stumble that they fall? Let it not be! But by their slipping away came salvation to the nations, to provoke them to jealousy. ¹² But if their slipping away is the riches of the world, and their default is the riches of the nations, how much more their fullness? ¹³ For I speak to you, the nations; since I am the apostle of the nations, I glorify my ministry; ¹⁴ if by any means I may provoke those who are my flesh to jealousy, and might save some of them. ¹⁵ For if their casting away is the reconciling of the world, what is the reception except life from the dead? ¹⁶ For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, also the branches. ¹⁷ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a sharer of the root and the fatness of the olive tree with them, ¹⁸ do not boast against the branches. But if you boast, it is not you that bears the root, but the root bears you. ¹⁹ You will say then, The branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in. ²⁰ Well, because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be high-minded, but fear. ²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches, fear lest He also may not spare you either! ²² Behold then the kindness, and the severity of God; on those having fallen, severity; but on you, kindness, if you continue in the kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. ²³ And those also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if you were cut out of the natural wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more these being according to nature will be grafted into their own olive-tree? ²⁵ For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, lest you should be wise within yourselves; that blindness in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations has comes in. ²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, "There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. ²⁷ For this is My covenant with them, when I have taken away their sins." ²⁸ Indeed as regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes. But as regards the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. ²⁹ For the free gifts and calling of God are without repentance. ³⁰ For as you also then disbelieved God, but now have been shown mercy through their disbelief, ³¹ even so these also have not believed now, so that through your mercy they may also obtain mercy. ³² For God has shut up all in unbelief, so that He might show mercy to all. ³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! ³⁴ For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? ³⁵ Or who first gave to Him, and it will be repaid to him? ³⁶ For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things; to Him be glory forever! Amen.
