1. I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be! for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin:
|
1. I say G3004 then G3767 , Hath G3361 God G2316 cast away G683 his G848 people G2992 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 . For G1063 I G1473 also G2532 am G1510 an Israelite G2475 , of G1537 the seed G4690 of Abraham G11 , of the tribe G5443 of Benjamin G958 .
|
|
2. God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have ye not known -- in Elijah -- what the Writing saith? how he doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying,
|
2. God G2316 hath not G3756 cast away G683 his G848 people G2992 which G3739 he foreknew G4267 G2228 . Wot G1492 ye not G3756 what G5101 the G3588 Scripture G1124 saith G3004 of G1722 Elijah G2243 ? how G5613 he maketh intercession G1793 to God G2316 against G2596 Israel G2474 , saying G3004 ,
|
|
3. `Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;`
|
3. Lord G2962 , they have killed G615 thy G4675 prophets G4396 , and G2532 digged down G2679 thine G4675 altars G2379 ; and I G2504 am left G5275 alone G3441 , and G2532 they seek G2212 my G3450 life G5590 .
|
|
4. but what saith the divine answer to him? `I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.`
|
4. But G235 what G5101 saith G3004 the G3588 answer of God G5538 unto him G846 ? I have reserved G2641 to myself G1683 seven thousand G2035 men G435 , who G3748 have not G3756 bowed G2578 the knee G1119 to the image of Baal G896 .
|
|
5. So then also in the present time a remnant according to the choice of grace there hath been;
|
5. Even so G3779 then G3767 at G1722 this present G3568 time G2540 also G2532 there is G1096 a remnant G3005 according G2596 to the election G1589 of grace G5485 .
|
|
6. and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.
|
6. And G1161 if G1487 by grace G5485 , then is it no more G3765 of G1537 works G2041 : otherwise G1893 grace G5485 is G1096 no more G3765 grace G5485 . But G1161 if G1487 it be of G1537 works G2041 , then is G2076 it no more G3765 grace G5485 : otherwise G1893 work G2041 is G2076 no more G3765 work G2041 .
|
|
7. What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened,
|
7. What G5101 then G3767 ? Israel G2474 hath G5127 not G3756 obtained G2013 that which G3739 he seeketh for G1934 ; but G1161 the G3588 election G1589 hath obtained G2013 it, and G1161 the G3588 rest G3062 were blinded G4456 .
|
|
8. according as it hath been written, `God gave to them a spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,` -- unto this very day,
|
8. (According as G2531 it is written G1125 , God G2316 hath given G1325 them G846 the spirit G4151 of slumber G2659 , eyes G3788 that they should not G3361 see G991 , and G2532 ears G3775 that they should not G3361 hear G191 ;) unto G2193 this G4594 day G2250 .
|
|
9. and David saith, `Let their table become for a snare, and for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to them;
|
9. And G2532 David G1138 saith G3004 , Let their G848 table G5132 be made G1096 a G1519 snare G3803 , and G2532 a G1519 trap G2339 , and G2532 a G1519 stumblingblock G4625 , and G2532 a G1519 recompense G468 unto them G846 :
|
|
10. let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their back do Thou always bow down.`
|
10. Let their G848 eyes G3788 be darkened G4654 , that they may not G3361 see G991 , and G2532 bow down G4781 their G848 back G3577 always G1275 .
|
|
11. I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it not be! but by their fall the salvation is to the nations, to arouse them to jealousy;
|
11. I say G3004 then G3767 , Have they G3361 stumbled G4417 that G2443 they should fall G4098 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 : but G235 rather through their G848 fall G3900 salvation G4991 is come unto the G3588 Gentiles G1484 , for to provoke them to jealousy G3863 G846 .
|
|
12. and if the fall of them is the riches of a world, and the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more the fulness of them?
|
12. Now G1161 if G1487 the G3588 fall G3900 of them G848 be the riches G4149 of the world G2889 , and G2532 the G3588 diminishing G2275 of them G848 the riches G4149 of the Gentiles G1484 ; how much G4214 more G3123 their G848 fullness G4138 ?
|
|
13. For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify;
|
13. For G1063 I speak G3004 to you G5213 Gentiles G1484 , inasmuch as G1909 G3745 G3303 I G1473 am G1510 the apostle G652 of the Gentiles G1484 , I magnify G1392 mine G3450 office G1248 :
|
|
14. if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh, and shall save some of them,
|
14. If by any means G1513 I may provoke to emulation G3863 them which are my G3450 flesh G4561 , and G2532 might save G4982 some G5100 of G1537 them G846 .
|
|
15. for if the casting away of them is a reconciliation of the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead?
|
15. For G1063 if G1487 the G3588 casting away G580 of them G846 be the reconciling G2643 of the world G2889 , what G5101 shall the G3588 receiving G4356 of them be, but G1508 life G2222 from G1537 the dead G3498 ?
|
|
16. and if the first-fruit is holy, the lump also; and if the root is holy, the branches also.
|
16. For G1161 if G1487 the G3588 firstfruit G536 be holy G40 , the G3588 lump G5445 is also G2532 holy : and G2532 if G1487 the G3588 root G4491 be holy G40 , so G2532 are the G3588 branches G2798 .
|
|
17. And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree didst become --
|
17. And G1161 if G1487 some G5100 of the G3588 branches G2798 be broken off G1575 , and G1161 thou G4771 , being G5607 a wild olive tree G65 , wert grafted in G1461 among G1722 them G846 , and G2532 with them G1096 partakest G4791 of the G3588 root G4491 and G2532 fatness G4096 of the G3588 olive tree G1636 ;
|
|
18. do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!
|
18. Boast not against G2620 G3361 the G3588 branches G2798 . But G1161 if G1487 thou boast G2620 , thou G4771 bearest G941 not G3756 the G3588 root G4491 , but G235 the G3588 root G4491 thee G4571 .
|
|
19. Thou wilt say, then, `The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;` right!
|
19. Thou wilt say G2046 then G3767 , The G3588 branches G2798 were broken off G1575 , that G2443 I G1473 might be grafted in G1461 .
|
|
20. by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;
|
20. Well G2573 ; because of unbelief G570 they were broken off G1575 , and G1161 thou G4771 standest G2476 by faith G4102 . Be not highminded G5309 G3361 , but G235 fear G5399 :
|
|
21. for if God the natural branches did not spare -- lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.
|
21. For G1063 if G1487 God G2316 spared G5339 not G3756 the G3588 natural G2596 G5449 branches G2798 , take heed lest G3381 he also spare G5339 not G3761 thee G4675 .
|
|
22. Lo, then, goodness and severity of God -- upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.
|
22. Behold G1492 therefore G3767 the goodness G5544 and G2532 severity G663 of God G2316 : on G1909 G3303 them which fell G4098 , severity G663 ; but G1161 toward G1909 thee G4571 , goodness G5544 , if G1437 thou continue in G1961 his goodness G5544 : otherwise G1893 thou G4771 also G2532 shalt be cut off G1581 .
|
|
23. And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;
|
23. And G1161 they G1565 also G2532 , if they abide not G3362 G1961 still in unbelief G570 , shall be grafted in G1461 : for G1063 God G2316 is G2076 able G1415 to graft them in G1461 G846 again G3825 .
|
|
24. for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature, be graffed into their own olive tree?
|
24. For G1063 if G1487 thou G4771 wert cut G1581 out G1537 of the G3588 olive tree which is wild G65 by G2596 nature G5449 , and G2532 wert grafted G1461 contrary G3844 to nature G5449 into G1519 a good olive tree G2565 : how much G4214 more G3123 shall these G3778 , which G3588 be the natural G2596 G5449 branches, be grafted into G1461 their own G2398 olive tree G1636 ?
|
|
25. For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this secret -- that ye may not be wise in your own conceits -- that hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of the nations may come in;
|
25. For G1063 I would G2309 not G3756 , brethren G80 , that ye G5209 should be ignorant G50 of this G5124 mystery G3466 , lest G3363 ye should be G5600 wise G5429 in G3844 your own conceits G1438 ; that G3754 blindness G4457 in G575 part G3313 is happened G1096 to Israel G2474 , until G891 G3757 the G3588 fullness G4138 of the G3588 Gentiles G1484 be come in G1525 .
|
|
26. and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath been written, `There shall come forth out of Sion he who is delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob,
|
26. And G2532 so G3779 all G3956 Israel G2474 shall be saved G4982 : as G2531 it is written G1125 , There shall come G2240 out of G1537 Zion G4622 the G3588 Deliverer G4506 , and G2532 shall turn away G654 ungodliness G763 from G575 Jacob G2384 :
|
|
27. and this to them is the covenant from Me, when I may take away their sins.`
|
27. For G2532 this G3778 is G3844 my G1700 covenant G1242 unto them G846 , when G3752 I shall take away G851 their G848 sins G266 .
|
|
28. As regards, indeed, the good tidings, they are enemies on your account; and as regards the choice -- beloved on account of the fathers;
|
28. As concerning G2596 G3303 the G3588 gospel G2098 , they are enemies G2190 for your sakes G1223 G5209 : but G1161 as touching G2596 the G3588 election G1589 , they are beloved G27 for the fathers' sakes G1223 G3588 G3962 .
|
|
29. for unrepented of are the gifts and the calling of God;
|
29. For G1063 the G3588 gifts G5486 and G2532 calling G2821 of God G2316 are without repentance G278 .
|
|
30. for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:
|
30. For G1063 as G5618 ye G5210 in times past G4218 have G2532 not believed G544 God G2316 , yet G1161 have now G3568 obtained mercy G1653 through their G5130 unbelief G543 :
|
|
31. so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;
|
31. Even so G3779 have these G3778 also G2532 now G3568 not believed G544 , that G2443 through your G5212 mercy G1656 they G846 also G2532 may obtain mercy G1653 .
|
|
32. for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness.
|
32. For G1063 God G2316 hath concluded G4788 them all G3956 in G1519 unbelief G543 , that G2443 he might have mercy G1653 upon all G3956 .
|
|
33. O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
|
33. O G5599 the depth G899 of the riches G4149 both G2532 of the wisdom G4678 and G2532 knowledge G1108 of God G2316 ! how G5613 unsearchable G419 are his G848 judgments G2917 , and G2532 his G848 ways G3598 past finding out G421 !
|
|
34. for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?
|
34. For G1063 who G5101 hath known G1097 the mind G3563 of the Lord G2962 ? or G2228 who G5101 hath been G1096 his G848 counselor G4825 ?
|
|
35. or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?
|
35. Or G2228 who G5101 hath first given G4272 to him G846 , and G2532 it shall be recompensed G467 unto him G846 again?
|
|
36. because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory -- to the ages. Amen.
|
36. For G3754 of G1537 him G846 , and G2532 through G1223 him G846 , and G2532 to G1519 him G846 , are all things G3956 : to whom G846 be glory G1391 forever G1519 G165 . Amen G281 .
