I say <G3004> <G5719> then <G3767>, <G3361> Hath <G0683> <G0000> God <G2316> cast away <G0683> <G5662> his <G0848> people <G2992>? God forbid <G3361> <G1096> <G5636>. For <G1063> I <G1473> also <G2532> am <G1510> <G5748> an Israelite <G2475>, of <G1537> the seed <G4690> of Abraham <G0011>, [of] the tribe <G5443> of Benjamin <G0958>.
2
God <G2316> hath <G0683> <G0000> not <G3756> cast away <G0683> <G5662> his <G0848> people <G2992> which <G3739> he foreknew <G4267> <G5656>. <G2228> Wot ye <G1492> <G5758> not <G3756> what <G5101> the scripture <G1124> saith <G3004> <G5719> of <G1722> Elias <G2243>? how <G5613> he maketh intercession <G1793> <G5719> to God <G2316> against <G2596> Israel <G2474>, saying <G3004> <G5723>,
3
Lord <G2962>, they have killed <G0615> <G5656> thy <G4675> prophets <G4396>, and <G2532> digged down <G2679> <G5656> thine <G4675> altars <G2379>; and I <G2504> am left <G5275> <G5681> alone <G3441>, and <G2532> they seek <G2212> <G5719> my <G3450> life <G5590>.
4
But <G0235> what <G5101> saith <G3004> <G5719> the answer of God <G5538> unto him <G0846>? I have reserved <G2641> <G5627> to myself <G1683> seven thousand <G2035> men <G0435>, who <G3748> have <G2578> <G0000> not <G3756> bowed <G2578> <G5656> the knee <G1119> to [the image of] Baal <G0896>.
5
Even so <G3779> then <G3767> at <G1722> this present <G3568> time <G2540> also <G2532> there is <G1096> <G5754> a remnant <G3005> according <G2596> to the election <G1589> of grace <G5485>.
6
And <G1161> if <G1487> by grace <G5485>, then [is it] no more <G2089> <G3765> of <G1537> works <G2041>: otherwise <G1893> grace <G5485> is <G1096> <G5736> no more <G2089> <G3765> grace <G5485>. But <G1161> if <G1487> [it be] of <G1537> works <G2041>, then is it <G2076> <G5748> no more <G2089> <G3765> grace <G5485>: otherwise <G1893> work <G2041> is <G2076> <G5748> no more <G2089> <G3765> work <G2041>.
7
What <G5101> then <G3767>? Israel <G2474> hath <G2013> <G0000> not <G3756> obtained <G2013> <G5627> that <G5127> which <G3739> he seeketh for <G1934> <G5719>; but <G1161> the election <G1589> hath obtained it <G2013> <G5627>, and <G1161> the rest <G3062> were blinded <G4456> <G5681>.
8
(According as <G2531> it is written <G1125> <G5769>, God <G2316> hath given <G1325> <G5656> them <G0846> the spirit <G4151> of slumber <G2659>, eyes <G3788> that they should <G0991> <G0000> not <G3361> see <G0991> <G5721>, and <G2532> ears <G3775> that they should <G0191> <G0000> not <G3361> hear <G0191> <G5721>;) unto <G2193> this <G4594> day <G2250>.
9
And <G2532> David <G1138> saith <G3004> <G5719>, Let <G1096> <G0000> their <G0846> table <G5132> be made <G1096> <G5676> a snare <G1519> <G3803>, and <G2532> a trap <G1519> <G2339>, and <G2532> a stumblingblock <G1519> <G4625>, and <G2532> a recompence <G1519> <G0468> unto them <G0846>:
10
Let <G4654> <G0000> their <G0846> eyes <G3788> be darkened <G4654> <G5682>, that they may <G0991> <G0000> not <G3361> see <G0991> <G5721>, and <G2532> bow down <G4781> <G5657> their <G0846> back <G3577> alway <G1275>.
11
I say <G3004> <G5719> then <G3767>, <G3361> Have they stumbled <G4417> <G5656> that <G2443> they should fall <G4098> <G5632>? God forbid <G3361> <G1096> <G5636>: but <G0235> [rather] through their <G0846> fall <G3900> salvation <G4991> [is come] unto the Gentiles <G1484>, for to <G1519> provoke <G3863> <G0000> them <G0846> to jealousy <G3863> <G5658>.
12
Now <G1161> if <G1487> the fall <G3900> of them <G0846> [be] the riches <G4149> of the world <G2889>, and <G2532> the diminishing <G2275> of them <G0846> the riches <G4149> of the Gentiles <G1484>; how <G4214> much more <G3123> their <G0846> fulness <G4138>?
13
For <G1063> I speak <G3004> <G5719> to you <G5213> Gentiles <G1484>, inasmuch as <G1909> <G3745> <G3303> I <G1473> am <G1510> <G5748> the apostle <G0652> of the Gentiles <G1484>, I magnify <G1392> <G5719> mine <G3450> office <G1248>:
14
If by any means <G1513> <G4458> I may provoke to emulation <G3863> <G5661> [them which are] my <G3450> flesh <G4561>, and <G2532> might save <G4982> <G5661> some <G5100> of <G1537> them <G0846>.
15
For <G1063> if <G1487> the casting away <G0580> of them <G0846> [be] the reconciling <G2643> of the world <G2889>, what <G5101> [shall] the receiving <G4356> [of them be], but <G1508> life <G2222> from <G1537> the dead <G3498>?
16
For <G1161> if <G1487> the firstfruit <G0536> [be] holy <G0040>, the lump <G5445> [is] also <G2532> [holy]: and <G2532> if <G1487> the root <G4491> [be] holy <G0040>, so <G2532> [are] the branches <G2798>.
17
And <G1161> if some <G1536> of the branches <G2798> be broken off <G1575> <G5681>, and <G1161> thou <G4771>, being <G5607> <G5752> a wild olive tree <G0065>, wert graffed in <G1461> <G5681> among <G1722> them <G0846>, and <G2532> with <G4791> <G0000> them <G1096> <G5633> partakest <G4791> of the root <G4491> and <G2532> fatness <G4096> of the olive tree <G1636>;
18
Boast <G2620> <G0000> not <G3361> against <G2620> <G5737> the branches <G2798>. But <G1161> if <G1487> thou boast <G2620> <G5736>, thou <G4771> bearest <G0941> <G5719> not <G3756> the root <G4491>, but <G0235> the root <G4491> thee <G4571>.
19
Thou wilt say <G2046> <G5692> then <G3767>, The branches <G2798> were broken off <G1575> <G5681>, that <G2443> I <G1473> might be graffed in <G1461> <G5686>.
20
Well <G2573>; because of unbelief <G0570> they were broken off <G1575> <G5681>, and <G1161> thou <G4771> standest <G2476> <G5758> by faith <G4102>. Be <G5309> <G0000> not <G3361> highminded <G5309> <G5720>, but <G0235> fear <G5399> <G5732> <G5737>:
21
For <G1063> if <G1487> God <G2316> spared <G5339> <G5662> not <G3756> the natural <G5449> branches <G2798> <G2596>, [take heed] lest <G4458> <G3381> <G0000> he <G5339> <G0000> also <G3381> spare <G5339> <G5667> not <G3761> thee <G4675>.
22
Behold <G1492> <G5657> therefore <G3767> the goodness <G5544> and <G2532> severity <G0663> of God <G2316>: on <G1909> them which fell <G4098> <G5631> <G3303>, severity <G0663>; but <G1161> toward <G1909> thee <G4571>, goodness <G5544>, if <G1437> thou continue <G1961> <G5661> in [his] goodness <G5544>: otherwise <G1893> thou <G4771> also <G2532> shalt be cut off <G1581> <G5691>.
23
And <G1161> they <G1565> also <G2532>, if <G3362> <G0000> they abide <G1961> <G5661> not <G3362> still in unbelief <G0570>, shall be graffed in <G1461> <G5701>: for <G1063> God <G2316> is <G2076> <G5748> able <G1415> to graff <G1461> <G0000> them <G0846> in <G1461> <G5658> again <G3825>.
24
For <G1063> if <G1487> thou <G4771> wert cut <G1581> <G5648> out of <G1537> the olive tree which is wild <G0065> by <G2596> nature <G5449>, and <G2532> wert graffed <G1461> <G5681> contrary to <G3844> nature <G5449> into <G1519> a good olive tree <G2565>: how much <G4214> more <G3123> shall these <G3778>, which be the natural <G2596> <G5449> [branches], be graffed into <G1461> <G5701> their own <G2398> olive tree <G1636>?
25
For <G1063> I would <G2309> <G5719> not <G3756>, brethren <G0080>, that ye <G5209> should be ignorant <G0050> <G5721> of this <G5124> mystery <G3466>, lest <G3363> ye should be <G5600> <G5753> wise <G5429> in <G3844> your own conceits <G1438>; that <G3754> blindness <G4457> in <G0575> part <G3313> is happened <G1096> <G5754> to Israel <G2474>, until <G0891> <G3739> the fulness <G4138> of the Gentiles <G1484> be come in <G1525> <G5632>.
26
And <G2532> so <G3779> all <G3956> Israel <G2474> shall be saved <G4982> <G5701>: as <G2531> it is written <G1125> <G5769>, There shall come <G2240> <G5692> out of <G1537> Sion <G4622> the Deliverer <G4506> <G5740>, and <G2532> shall turn away <G0654> <G5692> ungodliness <G0763> from <G0575> Jacob <G2384>:
27
For <G2532> this <G3778> [is] my <G3844> <G1700> covenant <G1242> unto them <G0846>, when <G3752> I shall take away <G0851> <G5643> their <G0846> sins <G0266>.
28
As concerning <G2596> <G3303> the gospel <G2098>, [they are] enemies <G2190> for your sakes <G1223> <G5209>: but <G1161> as touching <G2596> the election <G1589>, [they are] beloved <G0027> for <G1223> <G0000> the fathers <G3962>' sakes <G1223>.
29
For <G1063> the gifts <G5486> and <G2532> calling <G2821> of God <G2316> [are] without repentance <G0278>.
30
For <G1063> as <G5618> <G2532> ye <G5210> in times past <G4218> have not believed <G0544> <G5656> God <G2316>, yet <G1161> have <G1653> <G0000> now <G3568> obtained mercy <G1653> <G5681> through <G5130> their unbelief <G0543>:
31
Even so <G3779> have <G0544> <G0000> these <G3778> also <G2532> now <G3568> not believed <G0544> <G5656>, that <G2443> through your <G5212> mercy <G1656> they <G0846> also <G2532> may obtain mercy <G1653> <G5686>.
32
For <G1063> God <G2316> hath concluded <G4788> <G5656> them all <G3956> in <G1519> unbelief <G0543>, that <G2443> he might have mercy <G1653> <G5661> upon all <G3956>.
33
O <G5599> the depth <G0899> of the riches <G4149> both <G2532> of the wisdom <G4678> and <G2532> knowledge <G1108> of God <G2316>! how <G5613> unsearchable <G0419> [are] his <G0846> judgments <G2917>, and <G2532> his <G0846> ways <G3598> past finding out <G0421>!
34
For <G1063> who <G5101> hath known <G1097> <G5627> the mind <G3563> of the Lord <G2962>? or <G2228> who <G5101> hath been <G1096> <G5633> his counsellor <G4825>?
35
Or <G2228> who <G5101> hath first given <G4272> <G5656> to him <G0846>, and <G2532> it shall be recompensed <G0467> <G0000> unto him <G0846> again <G0467> <G5701>?
36
For <G3754> of <G1537> him <G0846>, and <G2532> through <G1223> him <G0846>, and <G2532> to <G1519> him <G0846>, [are] all things <G3956>: to whom <G0846> [be] glory <G1391> for <G1519> ever <G0165>. Amen <G0281>.
