Read Bible Book Of Romans Chapter 11 In Online
1 - 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 The 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" ?
4 - And What Was God's Answer To Him? "I Have Reserved For Myself Seven Thousand Who Have Not Bowed The Knee To Baal."
5 - So Too, At The Present Time There Is A Remnant Chosen By Grace.
6 - And If By Grace, Then It Is No Longer By Works; If It Were, Grace Would No Longer Be Grace.
7 - What Then? What Israel Sought So Earnestly It Did Not Obtain, But The Elect Did. The Others Were Hardened,
8 - As It Is Written: "God Gave Them A Spirit Of Stupor, Eyes So That They Could Not See And Ears So That They Could Not Hear, To This Very Day."
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 - 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 Fullness Bring!
13 - I Am Talking To You Gentiles. Inasmuch As I Am The Apostle To The Gentiles, I Make Much Of 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 Is The Reconciliation Of 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 Boast Over Those 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 Be Afraid.
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!
25 - I Do Not Want You To Be Ignorant Of This Mystery, Brothers, 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 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 My Covenant With Them When I Take Away Their Sins."
28 - As Far As The Gospel Is Concerned, They Are Enemies On Your Account; 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 Receive Mercy As A Result Of God's Mercy To You.
32 - For God Has Bound All Men Over To Disobedience So That He May Have Mercy On Them All.
33 - Oh, The Depth Of The Riches Of The Wisdom And 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?"
35 - "Who Has Ever Given To God, That God Should Repay Him?"
36 - For From Him And Through Him And To Him Are All Things. To Him Be The Glory Forever! Amen.
