KJV
King James Version
I ask
then, did
God reject
His people? Certainly
not!
I am an Israelite myself
, a
descendant
of Abraham, from
the tribe of Benjamin.
I say
then, Hath
God cast
away
his people? God
forbid.
For
I also
am an Israelite, of the
seed
of
Abraham, of
the tribe of Benjamin.
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 :
God hath
not cast
away
his people which
he foreknew. Wot
ye
not what the scripture saith
of
Elias?
how he maketh
intercession
to God against Israel saying,
“
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”?
Lord, they have killed thy
prophets ,
and digged
down thine
altars ;
and
I am left alone
, and they seek
my life .
And
what was
the divine
reply
to
him? “
I have reserved for
Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal. ”
But
what saith
the answer
of
God
unto
him? I have reserved to
myself seven thousand men ,
who have not bowed the knee to the
image
of
Baal.
In
the
same
way,
at the
present time there is a remnant chosen
by
grace.
Even
so
then
at this
present time also
there is a remnant according
to
the
election
of
grace.
And if it
is
by grace, then it
is no longer
by
works .
Otherwise ,
grace would
no longer
be grace.
And if by grace, then is it
no more
of
works :
otherwise grace is
no more
grace.
But
if
it
be of
works,
then
it
is
no
more
grace :
otherwise
work
is
no
more
work
.
What then? What
Israel was
seeking,
it
failed
to
obtain,
but the elect
did.
The others
were hardened,
What then? Israel hath
not
obtained
that
which
he
seeketh
for;
but the election
hath
obtained
it,
and
the rest
were blinded.
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. ”
(According
as it is written ,
God hath
given
them the
spirit of slumber
, eyes that they
should
not see, and ears that they
should
not hear ;)
unto
this day.
And David says:
“May
their table become
a snare and a trap, a stumbling
block
and a retribution
to
them .
And David saith,
Let
their table be
made
a snare ,
and a trap, and
a stumblingblock,
and a recompence
unto
them :
May
their eyes be darkened so
they cannot
see, and their backs
be
bent
forever
. ”
Let
their eyes be darkened ,
that
they may
not
see, and bow
down
their back
alway
.
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
.
I say
then, Have
they stumbled
that
they
should
fall? God
forbid:
but
rather
through
their fall
salvation is
come unto
the Gentiles ,
for
to provoke
them
to
jealousy
.
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!
Now
if the
fall
of
them
be
the
riches of
the world, and the
diminishing
of
them
the
riches of
the Gentiles ;
how much more
their fulness?
I am
speaking
to you Gentiles .
Inasmuch as I am the apostle to
the Gentiles, I magnify my
ministry
For
I speak
to you Gentiles ,
inasmuch as I am the apostle of
the Gentiles, I magnify mine
office:
in
the
hope
that
I may provoke my
own
people
to jealousy
and save some of them.
If
by
any
means
I may provoke to emulation
them
which
are
my
flesh,
and might
save some of them.
For if their
rejection
is
the reconciliation
of the world, what will
their
acceptance
be but life from the dead?
For if the casting
away
of them
be
the reconciling
of
the
world, what shall
the
receiving
of
them
be ,
but life from the dead?
If the first
part
of
the
dough
is
holy, so
is
the whole
batch;
if the root is
holy, so are the branches.
For
if the firstfruit
be
holy, the lump
is
also
holy:
and
if the root be
holy, so are the branches.
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,
And
if some of
the
branches be
broken off, and thou
, being
a wild olive tree
, wert
graffed
in among them,
and
with
them
partakest
of
the root
and
fatness
of the olive tree;
do
not
boast over
those
branches. If you
do
, remember
this:
You
do
not support
the root, but the root supports
you
.
Boast not
against
the
branches. But
if thou
boast
, thou
bearest
not the root, but the root thee
.
You
will
say then, “
Branches were broken off so
that I could
be grafted
in. ”
Thou
wilt
say then, The
branches were broken off ,
that I might
be graffed
in.
That
is
correct:
They were broken off because
of
unbelief
, but
you
stand
by faith. Do
not
be arrogant
, but be
afraid.
Well;
because
of
unbelief
they were broken off, and
thou
standest
by faith. Be not
highminded
, but fear:
For if God did
not spare
the natural branches, He will
certainly
not
spare you
either
.
For if God spared
not the natural branches, take
heed
lest
he also
spare not
thee
.
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.
Behold
therefore the goodness
and severity of God: on
them
which
fell, severity;
but toward
thee
, goodness,
if thou
continue in his goodness:
otherwise thou
also shalt
be cut off.
And if they do
not persist
in unbelief, they
will
be grafted
in ,
for God is able to graft
them in again.
And they
also,
if they abide
not still
in unbelief, shall
be graffed
in :
for God is able to graff
them in again.
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 !
For if thou
wert
cut out
of
the
olive tree which
is
wild
by
nature
, and wert
graffed
contrary to nature into a
good
olive
tree:
how much more shall
these, which
be
the natural branches, be graffed
into their own olive tree ?
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.
For
I would
not ,
brethren,
that
ye
should
be ignorant of this mystery, lest
ye
should
be wise
in your
own
conceits;
that
blindness
in
part is
happened
to Israel, until the fulness
of the Gentiles be
come in.
And so all Israel will
be saved ,
as it is written :
“
The Deliverer will
come
from
Zion;
He
will
remove
godlessness
from Jacob .
And so all Israel shall
be saved :
as it is written ,
There
shall
come
out
of
Sion
the Deliverer ,
and
shall
turn
away
ungodliness
from Jacob :
And
this is My covenant with
them when I take away their sins. ”
For
this is my covenant unto
them ,
when I shall
take away their sins.
Regarding
the gospel, they are enemies on
your account;
but regarding
election, they are loved
on
account
of
the patriarchs
.
As
concerning
the gospel, they are enemies for
your sakes:
but as
touching
the
election, they are beloved
for
the father's
sakes
.
For God’s
gifts and His
call
are irrevocable
.
For the
gifts and calling
of
God
are without
repentance
.
Just
as you
who
formerly
disobeyed
God have now received
mercy through their disobedience,
For
as ye
in
times
past
have
not
believed
God ,
yet
have now obtained
mercy through their unbelief:
so they
too
have now disobeyed
, in
order
that they too
may now
receive
mercy
through
the
mercy shown
to
you
.
Even
so have these
also
now not
believed
, that through
your
mercy
they also
may obtain
mercy.
For God has
consigned
everyone
to
disobedience
so
that He may
have mercy on
everyone
.
For God hath
concluded
them
all
in
unbelief,
that he might
have mercy upon
all
.
O ,
the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable
His ways!
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
!
“
Who has
known the mind of the Lord? Or who has
been His counselor
? ”
For
who hath
known the mind of the Lord? or who hath
been his counsellor
?
“
Who has
first given to God
, that
God
should
repay
him? ”
Or
who hath
first given to him
, and
it
shall
be
recompensed
unto
him again
?
For from
Him and through Him and to Him are all things .
To Him
be the
glory forever!
Amen.
For of
him ,
and through him ,
and to him ,
are all things :
to whom
be glory for
ever.
Amen.
