Romans 11:14-34

¹⁴if in any manner I stir my flesh for to follow, and that I make some of them safe (or and that I save some of them).

¹⁵For if the loss of them is the reconciling of the world, what is the taking up of them, but (the giving of) life of dead men? +or no but (the giving of) life to (the) dead? (or nothing less than the giving of life to the dead! or the giving of life from the dead!)

¹⁶For if a little part of that that is tasted be holy, the whole gobbet is holy; and if the root is holy, also the branches.

¹⁷What if any of the branches be broken, when thou were a wild olive tree, art grafted or art set in among them, and art made (a) fellow of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,

¹⁸do not thou have glory (or boast) against the branches. For if thou gloriest (or For if thou boastest), thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹Therefore thou sayest, The branches be broken, (so) that I be grafted in or so that I be inset.

²⁰Well, for unbelief the branches be broken; but thou standest by faith. Do not thou understand or savour high things, but dread thou (them), (or fear them),

²¹for if God spared not the kindly branches (or for if God did not spare the natural branches), see thou lest peradventure he spare not thee.

²²Therefore see the goodness, and the fierceness of God; yea, the fierceness into them that fell down, but the goodness of God into thee, if thou dwellest in goodness, else also thou shalt be cut down.

²³Yea, and they shall be set in or they shall be inset, if they dwell not in unbelief. For God is mighty, to set them in again.

²⁴For if thou art cut down of the kindly wild olive tree, and against kind art set into a good olive tree, how much more they that be by kind, shall be set in their olive tree? (For if thou art cut down from the naturally wild olive tree, and against nature art grafted into a good or a cultivated olive tree, how much more then they who be of that very nature, shall be able to be grafted into their olive tree?)

²⁵But, brethren, I will not, that ye not know this mystery, that ye be not wise to yourselves; for blindness hath fallen a part in Israel, till that the plenty of heathen men entered, (But, brothers, I do not desire, that ye do not know this mystery, so that ye do not think yourselves to be wise; for blindness hath fallen in part upon Israel, until the multitude of the Gentiles have entered,)

²⁶and so all Israel should be made safe. As it is written, He shall come of Sion, that shall deliver, and turn away the wickedness or the unpiety of Jacob. (and so all Israel shall be saved. As it is written, He shall come from Zion, who shall deliver them, and shall take away wickedness or impiety from Jacob.)

²⁷And this testament to them of me (or And this is my covenant with them), when I shall do away their sins.

²⁸After the gospel they be enemies for you, but they be most dearworthy by the election or after the election for the fathers.

²⁹And the gifts and the calling of God be without forthinking, (or repenting), or revoking.

³⁰And as sometime also ye believed not to God, but now ye have gotten mercy for the unbelief of them;

³¹so and these now believed not into your mercy, (so) that also they get mercy.

³²For God closed all things together in unbelief or Forsooth God closed together all things in unbelief, (so) that he have mercy on all.

³³O! the highness of the riches of the wisdom and of the cunning, (or the knowing, or the knowledge), of God +or O! the depth of the riches of wisdom and cunning of God; how incomprehensible be his dooms (or how incomprehensible be his judgements), and his ways be unsearchable.

³⁴For why who knew the wit of the Lord (or For who knew the mind, or the thinking, of the Lord), or who was his counsellor?
