(New International Version)

  • 1 The Remnant of Israel I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
  • 2 God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:
  • 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me” 11:3 1 Kings 19:10, 14?
  • 4 And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 11:4 1 Kings 19:18
  • 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
  • 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
  • 7 What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,
  • 8 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.” 11:8 Deut. 29:4; Isaiah 29:10
  • 9 And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
  • 10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.” 11:10 Psalm 69:22, 23 Ingrafted Branches
  • 11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.
  • 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
  • 13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry
  • 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
  • 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
  • 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
  • 17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
  • 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
  • 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
  • 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
  • 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
  • 22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
  • 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
  • 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! All Israel Will Be Saved
  • 25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
  • 26 and in this way 11:26 Or and so all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
  • 27 And this is 11:27 Or will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 11:27 Isaiah 59:20, 21; 27:9 (see Septuagint); Jer. 31:33, 34
  • 28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,
  • 29 for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
  • 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
  • 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now 11:31 Some manuscripts do not have now. receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you.
  • 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all. Doxology
  • 33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and 11:33 Or riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
  • 34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” 11:34 Isaiah 40:13
  • 35 “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” 11:35 Job 41:11
  • 36 For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
