Romans 11:18-36 in English

¹⁸ glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

²⁰ Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

²¹ for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.

²² Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

²³ And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;

²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

²⁷ And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.

²⁸ As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.

³⁰ For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

³¹ even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they also may now obtain mercy.

³² For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

³⁵ or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen.

¹⁸ Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

²⁰ Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

²¹ For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

²² 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.

²³ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

²⁴ 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?

²⁵ 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.

²⁶ 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:

²⁷ For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

²⁸ As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

²⁹ For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

³⁰ For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

³¹ Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

³² For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

³³ 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!

³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

¹⁸ glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

²⁰ Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

²¹ for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.

²² Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God’s goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

²³ And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I would not, brethren, have you ignorant of this mystery, lest ye be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part hath befallen Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in;

²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved: even as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

²⁷ And this is my covenant unto them, When I shall take away their sins.

²⁸ As touching the gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.

³⁰ For as ye in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

³¹ even so have these also now been disobedient, that by the mercy shewn to you they also may now obtain mercy.

³² For God hath shut up all unto disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

³³ O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

³⁵ or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and unto him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen.

¹⁸ However, you non-Jews must not despise the Jews whom God rejected MET, who are like the branches that were broken off from the tree If any of you wants to boast about having received blessings from God, remember this: Branches do not nourish the roots. Instead the roots nourish the branches MET. Similarly, you are blessed by God because of what you have received from the Jews! It is not what the Jews have received from you that blesses them MET!

¹⁹ If one of you then says, “ God rejected the Jews MET like branches MET that are broken {that people broke} off a tree and rejected, in order that he might accept us non-Jews, as branches MET of a tree are grafted in { as people graft in branches of a tree},”

²⁰ I would reply that this is true. However, it is because the Jews did not believe in Christ that they were rejected MET {that God rejected MET them}. As for you, it is only because you believe in Christ that God has accepted you! So do not any of you become proud, but instead beware of what could happen to you

²¹ Since God did not spare the unbelieving Jews MET who were like a tree's natural branches, he will not spare any of you if you do not keep trusting in him!

²² Note then, that God acts kindly, but he also acts severely. He has acted severely toward the Jews who have stopped trusting in him. On the other hand, he acts kindly toward each of you non-Jews only if you continue to appreciate his acting kindly toward you. However, you will be rejected { he will reject you} if you do not keep trusting in him.

²³ And if the Jews believe in Christ LIT, God also will reunite them to himself as branches are grafted { as people graft branches} into a tree again, because God is able to do that.

²⁴ Each of you non-Jews who were previously separated from God has benefited from the ways in which God blessed the Jews MET. That is like taking branches that have been cut {that someone has cut} from a wild olive tree that just grew without being planted { someone planting it} and, contrary to what people usually do, grafting them into a cultivated olive tree. So God will much more readily receive back the Jews because they belonged to him before MET! That will be like the original branches that had been cut off being grafted {like grafting the original branches that someone cut off,} back into the olive tree to which they originally belonged!

²⁵ My non-Jewish fellow believers, I certainly want you to understand LIT this truth that God has now revealed about my fellow Jews who are refusing to believe. You should not proudly think that God now favors you more than the Jews (OR, that you understand God's further plans for the Jews). Many people of Israel will continue to be stubborn until all the non-Jews whom God has chosen have believed in Jesus.

²⁶ And then all HYP the people of Israel will be saved { God will save all HYP the people of Israel}. Then these words that are written {that a prophet wrote} in the Scriptures will ◄ become true/be fulfilled►: The one who sets his people free will originate from the place where God dwells (OR, from the Jews) MTY. Then he will remove the guilt of the Israelite people (OR, descendants of Jacob) MTY.

²⁷ And as God says, The contract that I will make with them is that I will forgive their sins.

²⁸ With regard to the Jews rejecting the good message about Christ, God treats them as enemies, which has benefited you non-Jews. But in regard to their being the people whom God chose, God still loves them because of what he promised their ancestors.

²⁹ He still loves them, because he never changed his mind about the privileges/blessings he gave to them and about his choosing them to be his people.

³⁰ You non-Jews once disobeyed God, but now he has acted mercifully towards you because the Jews disobeyed him.

³¹ Now the Jews have disobeyed God. The result is that by the very same way in which he acted mercifully towards you, he will act mercifully towards them again.

³² God has declared and proved that all people, both Jews and non-Jews MET, disobey ◄ him/his laws►. He has declared that because he wants to act mercifully towards us all.

³³ I marvel how vast and great are the wise things that God has done and what he has always known DOU! We are completely unable to understand the things that he has decided and the ways in which he acts toward us DOU!

³⁴ I remember the Scriptures that say, ◄No one has known what the Lord thinks./Who has known what the Lord thinks?► RHQ ◄Absolutely no one has given him advice about what he should do!/Who has advised him about what he should do?► RHQ

³⁵ And, ◄No one has given anything to God that he did not previously receive from God!/Has anyone given anything to God that he did not previously receive from God?► RHQ So God ◄is not obligated to/does not have to► pay back anything to anyone!

³⁶ God is the one who created all things. He is also the one who sustains all things. The reason that he created them was that everything he created might praise him. May all people honor him forever! ◄May it be so!/Amen!►

¹⁸ don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

²⁰ True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

²¹ for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

²² See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

²³ They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

²⁶ and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷ This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

²⁸ Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

³⁰ For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

³¹ even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

³² For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

³³ Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

³⁴ “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

³⁵ “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

³⁶ For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹⁸ don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

³⁵ “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

³⁵ “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

³⁶ For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹⁸ Do not be uplifted in pride over the branches: because it is not you who are the support of the root, but it is by the root that you are supported.

¹⁹ You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

²⁰ Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

²¹ For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

²² See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

²³ And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

²⁵ For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

²⁶ And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

²⁷ And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

²⁸ As far as the good news is in question, they are cut off from God on account of you, but as far as the selection is in question, they are loved on account of the fathers.

²⁹ Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

³⁰ For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

³¹ So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

³² For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

³³ O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.

³⁴ Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?

³⁵ Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever. So be it.

¹⁸ boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, it is not thou bearest the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that I might be grafted in.

²⁰ Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and thou standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

²¹ if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.

²² Behold then the goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since otherwise thou also wilt be cut away.

²³ And they too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.

²⁴ For if thou hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;

²⁶ and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷ And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.

²⁸ As regards the glad tidings, they are enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are not subject to repentance.

³⁰ For as indeed ye also once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of these;

³¹ so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that they also may be objects of mercy.

³² For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.

³³ O depth of riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!

³⁴ For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counsellor?

³⁵ or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and for him are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

¹⁸ Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

²⁰ Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.

²¹ For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.

²² See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness, otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

²³ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if thou wert cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, were grafted into the good olive tree; how much more shall they that are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, (lest you should be wise in your own conceits), that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.

²⁶ And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷ And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.

²⁸ As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.

³⁰ For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;

³¹ So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.

³² For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.

³³ O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!

³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?

³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?

³⁶ For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

¹⁸ do not be arrogant towards the branches. But if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you that supports the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

²⁰ That is true. By unbelief they were broken off, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear.

²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He may not spare you either.

²² Behold then the kindness and severity of God: upon those that fell, severity; but upon you, kindness, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also shall be cut off.

²³ And they also, if they do not remain in unbelief, shall be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more shall these, the natural ones, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers, lest you be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

²⁶ And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer shall come out of Zion, and He shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

²⁷ For this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”

²⁸ As regards to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as regards to election, they are beloved for the sake of the fathers.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

³⁰ For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now you were shown mercy through their disobedience,

³¹ even so these now were disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also might be shown mercy.

³² For God has consigned all to disobedience, that He might show mercy to all.

³³ Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and untraceable are His ways!

³⁴ “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”

³⁵ “Or who has first given to Him, and it shall be repaid to him?”

³⁶ For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things; to Him be the glory forever! Amen.

¹⁸ do not boast against those branches (since if you do boast—it is not you who support the root but the root you).

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

²⁰ Granted. Because of unbelief they were broken off, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but fear!

²¹ Because if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He will not spare you either!

²² So consider the kindness and severity of God: upon those who fell, severity; but toward you, kindness, if you continue in that kindness; otherwise you too will be cut off.

²³ And even they, if they do not persist in the unbelief, will be grafted back in, because God has the power to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of a wild by nature olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ Brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant of this ‘mystery’ (so that you not be conceited): hardening has come upon Israel in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, just as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn ungodliness away from Jacob;

²⁷ this is my covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”

²⁸ On the one hand, regarding the Gospel, they are enemies because of you; on the other, regarding the election, they are beloved on account of the forefathers.

²⁹ Because God's gracious gifts and calling are irrevocable.

³⁰ For just as you also were once disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy through their disobedience,

³¹ so also these have now been disobedient that through the mercy shown to you they also may be shown mercy.

³² Yes, God has given everyone over to disobedience so that He might show mercy to all.

³³ Oh, the depth of the riches of God's wisdom and knowledge! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways!

³⁴ Because “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”

³⁵ Or “Who has ever given to Him and has to be repaid?”

³⁶ Because from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.

¹⁸ then you shouldn't look down on the other branches. If you're tempted to boast, remember it's not you who are supporting the roots, but the roots that are supporting you.

¹⁹ You could make the claim, “Branches were broken off so I could be grafted in.”

²⁰ All well and good—but they were broken off because of their failure to trust in God, and you stay there because you trust in God. So don't think highly of yourselves, but be respectful,

²¹ because if God didn't spare the original branches, he won't spare you either.

²² You should recognize both God's kindness and toughness—he was tough on the fallen, but God is kind to you so long as you trust in his kindness—otherwise you'll be removed too.

²³ If they no longer refuse to trust in God, they can be grafted in as well, for God is able to graft them back in again.

²⁴ If you could be cut from a wild olive tree, and then be grafted artificially onto a cultivated olive tree, how much more easily they could be grafted back naturally to their own tree.

²⁵ I don't want you, my brothers and sisters to miss this previously-hidden truth, for otherwise you could become conceited. The people of Israel have become hard-hearted in part, until the process of the foreigners coming in is complete.

²⁶ This is how all Israel will be saved. As Scripture says, “The Savior will come from Zion, and he will turn Jacob away from his opposition to God.

²⁷ My promise to them is that I'll take away their sins.”

²⁸ Though they are enemies of the good news—and this is to your benefit—they are still the chosen people, and loved because of their forefathers.

²⁹ God's gifts and his calling can't be withdrawn.

³⁰ At one time you disobeyed God, but now God has shown you mercy as a result of their disobedience.

³¹ In just the same way that they're now disobedient as you were, they will also be shown mercy like you received.

³² For God treated everyone as prisoners because of their disobedience so that he could be merciful to everyone.

³³ Oh how deep are God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge! How incredible his decisions, how unimaginable his methods!

³⁴ Who can know God's thoughts? Who can give him advice?

³⁵ Who has ever given anything to God that God would be obliged to repay?

³⁶ Everything comes from him, everything exists through him, and everything is for him. Glory to him forever, Amen!

¹⁸ Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.

²⁰ Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.

²¹ For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.

²² Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.

²³ And they also, if they abide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.

²⁴ For if thou wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, and wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?

²⁵ For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.

²⁶ And so all Israel shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.

²⁷ And this is my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.

²⁸ As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.

²⁹ For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance.

³⁰ For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:

³¹ Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.

³² For God hath shut vp all in vnbeliefe, that he might haue mercie on all.

³³ O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!

³⁴ For who hath knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour?

³⁵ Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and for him are all things: to him be glory for euer. Amen.

¹⁸ boast not against the branches: but if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

²⁰ Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

²¹ for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

²² 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.

²³ And they also, if they bide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

²⁴ 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?

²⁵ 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.

²⁶ 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:

²⁷ for this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

²⁸ As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

²⁹ For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

³⁰ For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

³¹ even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

³² For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

³³ 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!

³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?

³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

³⁶ For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

¹⁸ boast not over the branches; for if thou boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.

²⁰ Be it so. It was for their unbelief that they were broken off, and thou standest through thy faith; be not high-minded, but fear.

²¹ For if God spared the natural branches, take care lest he spare not thee.

²² Behold then the goodness and the severity of God; toward those who fell, severity; but toward thee God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness; otherwise thou also wilt be cut off.

²³ And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if thou hast been cut off from an olive-tree wild by nature, and hast against thy nature been ingrafted into a good olive-tree, how much more shall these, the natural branches, be ingrafted into their own olive-stock?

²⁵ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits, that blindness hath to some extent come upon Israel, until the fullness of the gentiles shall have come in.

²⁶ And thus will all Israel be saved; as it is written, “There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷ And this will be my covenant with them, when I shall have taken away their sins.”

²⁸ In regard to the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but in regard to God's choice, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.

²⁹ For in respect to his gifts and his calling, there is no change of purpose with God.

³⁰ For as ye in times past were disobedient to God, but have now obtained mercy through their disobedience,

³¹ so they too have now become disobedient, that they also may obtain mercy through the mercy shown to you.

³² For God delivered up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.

³³ O the depth of the riches, and of the wisdom, and of the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his purposes, and his ways past finding out!

³⁴ For “who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been made his counselor?”

³⁵ or “who first gave to him, and shall receive a return?”

³⁶ For from him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹⁸ Yet do not exult over the other branches. But, if you do exult over them, remember that you do not support the root, but that the root supports you.

¹⁹ But branches, you will say, were broken off, so that I might be grafted in.

²⁰ True; it was because of their want of faith that they were broken off, and it is because of your faith that you are standing. Do not think too highly of yourself, but beware.

²¹ For, if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

²² See, then, both the goodness and the severity of God — his severity towards those who fell, and his goodness towards you, provided that you continue to confide in that goodness; otherwise you, also, will be cut off.

²³ And they, too, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God has it in his power to graft them in again.

²⁴ If you were cut off from your natural stock — a wild olive — and were grafted, contrary to the course of nature, on a good olive, much more will they — the natural branches — be grafted back into their parent tree.

²⁵ My friends, so that you don't think too highly of yourselves, I want you to recognise the truth, hitherto hidden, that the callousness which has come over Israel is only partial, and will continue only until the whole Gentile world has been gathered in.

²⁶ And then all Israel will be saved. As scripture says — ‘From Zion will come the Deliverer; he will banish ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷ And they will see the fulfilment of my covenant, when I have taken away their sins.’

²⁸ From the standpoint of the good news, the Jews are God's enemies for your sake; but from the standpoint of God's selection, they are dear to him for the sake of the Patriarchs.

²⁹ For God never regrets his gifts or his call.

³⁰ Just as you at one time were disobedient to him, but have now found mercy in the day of their disobedience;

³¹ so, too, they have now become disobedient in your day of mercy, in order that they also in their turn may now find mercy.

³² For God has given all alike over to disobedience, that to all alike he may show mercy.

³³ Oh! The unfathomable wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgements, how untraceable his ways! Yes —

³⁴ Who has ever comprehended the mind of the Lord? Who has ever become his counsellor?

³⁵ Or who has first given to him, so that he may claim a reward?

³⁶ For all things are from him, through him, and for him. And to him be all glory for ever and ever! Amen.

¹⁸ Yet do not exult over the other branches. But, if you do exult over them, remember that you do not support the root, but that the root supports you.

¹⁹ But branches, you will say, were broken off, so that I might be grafted in.

²⁰ True; it was because of their want of faith that they were broken off, and it is because of your faith that you are standing. Do not think too highly of yourself, but beware.

³⁴ Who has ever comprehended the mind of the Lord? Who has ever become his counsellor?

³⁵ Or who has first given to him, so that he may claim a reward?

³⁶ For all things are from him, through him, and for him. And to him be all glory for ever and ever! Amen.

¹⁸ bost not thy selfe agaynst the brauches. For yf thou bost thy selfe remember that thou bearest not the rote but the rote the.

¹⁹ Thou wilt saye then: the brauches are broken of that I myght be grafte in.

²⁰ Thou sayest well: because of vnbeleve they are broken of and thou stondest stedfast in fayth. Be not hye mynded but feare

²¹ seynge that God spared not the naturall braunches lest haply he also spare not the.

²² Beholde the kyndnes and rigorousnes of God: on the which fell rigorousnes: but towardes the kyndnes yf thou cotinue in his kyndnes. Or els thou shalt be hewen of

²³ and they yf they byde not still in vnbelefe shalbe graffed in agayne. For God is of power to graffe them in agayne.

²⁴ For yf thou wast cut out of a naturall wilde olyve tree and wast graffed contrary to nature in a true olyve tree: how moche more shall the naturall brauches be graffed in their awne olyve tree agayne.

²⁵ I wolde not that this secrete shuld be hyd from you my brethren (lest ye shuld be wyse in youre awne consaytes) that partly blyndnes is happened in Israel vntyll the fulnes of the gentyls be come in:

²⁶ and so all Israel shalbe saved. As it is writte: There shall come oute of Sion he that doth delyver and shall turne awaye the vngodlynes of Iacob.

²⁷ And this is my covenaunt vnto them when I shall take awaye their synnes.

²⁸ As concernynge the gospell they are enemies for youre sakes: but as touchinge the election they are loved for the fathers sakes.

²⁹ For verely the gyftes and callynge of god are soche that it cannot repent him of them:

³⁰ for loke as ye in tyme passed have not beleved God yet have now obtayned mercy thorow their vnbelefe:

³¹ even so now have they not beleved the mercy which is happened vnto you that they also maye obtayne mercy.

³² God hath wrapped all nacions in vnbeleve that he myght have mercie on all.

³³ O the depnes of the aboundaunt wysdome and knowledge of God: how vnserchable are his iudgementes and his wayes past findyng out.

³⁴ For who hath knowen the mynde of the lorde? or who was his counseller?

³⁵ other who hath geven vnto him fyrst that he myght be recompensed agayne?

³⁶ For of him and thorow him and for him are all thinges To him be glorye for ever Amen.

¹⁸ do not boast over the branches. But if you do boast, it is not you who supports the root, but the root that supports you.

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

²⁰ That is true. Because of their unbelief they were broken off, but you stand firm because of your faith. Do not think too highly of yourself, but fear.

²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

²² Look at, then, the kind actions and the severity of God: severity came on the Jews who fell, but God's kindness comes on you, if you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

²³ And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in. For God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of what is by nature a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a good olive tree, how much more will these Jews, who are the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, of this mystery, in order that you will not be wise in your own thinking. This mystery is that a partial hardening has occurred in Israel, until the completion of the Gentiles come in.

²⁶ Thus all Israel will be saved, just as it is written: “Out of Zion will come the Deliverer. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob,

²⁷ and this will be my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

²⁸ As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake. But as far as election is concerned, they are beloved because of their forefathers.

²⁹ For the gifts and the call of God are unchangeable.

³⁰ For you were formerly disobedient to God, but now you have received mercy because of their disobedience.

³¹ In the same way, now these Jews have been disobedient. The result was that by the mercy shown to you they may also now receive mercy.

³² For God has shut up all into disobedience, in order that he might show mercy on all.

³³ Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways beyond discovering!

³⁴ “For who has known the mind of the Lord or who has become his advisor?

³⁵ Or who has first given anything to God, that God must repay him?”

³⁶ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.

¹⁸ don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

²⁰ True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

²¹ for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

²² See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.

²³ They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

²⁶ and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁷ This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”

²⁸ Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

³⁰ For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

³¹ even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

³² For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

³³ Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

³⁴ “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

³⁵ “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

³⁶ For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹⁸ don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”

²⁰ True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;

²³ They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

²⁴ For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁶ and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

³⁰ For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,

³¹ even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.

³² For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

³³ Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgements, and his ways past tracing out!

³⁴ “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counsellor?”

³⁵ “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

³⁶ For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹⁸ Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

¹⁹ Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be ingrafted.

²⁰ Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

²¹ For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

²² Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou shalt continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

²³ And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be ingrafted: for God is able to ingraft them again.

²⁴ For if thou wast cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and wast ingrafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural branches , be grafted into their own olive-tree?

²⁵ 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 hath happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall be come in.

²⁶ 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:

²⁷ For this is my covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins.

²⁸ As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

²⁹ For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

³⁰ For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;

³¹ Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

³² For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

³³ 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!

³⁴ For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?

³⁵ Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?

³⁶ For from him, and by him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

³⁵ “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”

³⁶ For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

¹⁸ do not thou have glory against the branches. For if thou gloriest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

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

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

²¹ for if God spared not the kindly branches, see thou lest peradventure he spare not thee.

²² Therefore 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.

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

²⁴ For 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?

²⁵ But, 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,

²⁶ and so all Israel should be made safe. As it is written, He shall come of Zion, that shall deliver, and turn away the wickedness or unpiety of Jacob.

²⁷ And this testament to them of me, when I shall do away their sins.

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

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

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

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

³² For God closed all things together in unbelief, that he have mercy on all.

³³ O! the highness of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowing, of God; how incomprehensible be his dooms, and his ways be unsearchable.

³⁴ For why who knew the wit of the Lord, or who was his counsellor?

³⁵ or who former gave to him, and it shall be requited again to him?

³⁶ For of him, and by him, and in him be all things. To him be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.

¹⁸ do 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.

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

²⁰ Well, 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),

²¹ for 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.

²² Therefore 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.

²³ Yea, 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.

²⁴ For 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?)

²⁵ But, 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,)

²⁶ and 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.)

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

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

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

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

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

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

³³ O! 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.

³⁴ For 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?

³⁵ or who former gave to him (or who first gave to him), and (after) it shall be requited again to him?

³⁶ For of him, and by him, and in him be all things. To him be glory into worlds of worlds, (or To him be glory forever and ever). Amen.

¹⁸ do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast, thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee!

¹⁹ Thou wilt say, then, 'The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in;' right!

²⁰ by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing;

²¹ for if God the natural branches did not spare — lest perhaps He also shall not spare thee.

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.

²³ And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in;

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?

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;

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,

²⁷ and this to them is the covenant from Me, when I may take away their sins.'

²⁸ As regards, indeed, the good tidings, they are enemies on your account; and as regards the choice — beloved on account of the fathers;

²⁹ for unrepented of are the gifts and the calling of God;

³⁰ for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did find kindness by the unbelief of these:

³¹ so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness they also may find kindness;

³² for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that to the whole He might do kindness.

³³ O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!

³⁴ for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?

³⁵ or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?

³⁶ because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory — to the ages. Amen.
