1I say3004 then3767,3361 Hath683 God2316 cast away683 his846 people2992? God forbid3361 1096. For1063 I1473 also2532 am1510 an Israelite2475, of1537 the seed4690 of Abraham11, of the tribe5443 of Benjamin958.
2God2316 hath683 not3756 cast away683 his846 people2992 which3739 he foreknew4267.2228 Wot ye1492 not3756 what5101 the scripture1124 saith3004 of1722 Elias2243? how5613 he maketh intercession1793 to God2316 against2596 Israel2474, saying3004,
3Lord2962, they have killed615 thy4675 prophets4396, and2532 digged down2679 thine4675 altars2379; and I2504 am left5275 alone3441, and2532 they seek2212 my3450 life5590.
4But235 what5101 saith3004 the answer of God5538 unto him846? I have reserved2641 to myself1683 seven thousand2035 men435, who3748 have2578 not3756 bowed2578 the knee1119 to the image of Baal896.
5Even so3779 then3767 at1722 this present3568 time2540 also2532 there is1096 a remnant3005 according2596 to the election1589 of grace5485.
6And1161 if1487 by grace5485, then is it no more2089 3765 of1537 works2041: otherwise1893 grace5485 is1096 no more2089 3765 grace5485. But1161 if1487 it be of1537 works2041, then is it2076 no more2089 3765 grace5485: otherwise1893 work2041 is2076 no more2089 3765 work2041.
7What5101 then3767? Israel2474 hath2013 not3756 obtained2013 that5127 which3739 he seeketh for1934; but1161 the election1589 hath obtained it2013, and1161 the rest3062 were blinded4456
8(According as2531 it is written1125, God2316 hath given1325 them846 the spirit4151 of slumber2659, eyes3788 that they should991 not3361 see991, and2532 ears3775 that they should191 not3361 hear191;) unto2193 this4594 day2250.
9And2532 David1138 saith3004, Let1096 their846 table5132 be made1096 a snare1519 3803, and2532 a trap1519 2339, and2532 a stumblingblock1519 4625, and2532 a recompence1519 468 unto them846:
10Let4654 their846 eyes3788 be darkened4654, that they may991 not3361 see991, and2532 bow down4781 their846 back3577 alway1275.
11I say3004 then3767,3361 Have they stumbled4417 that2443 they should fall4098? God forbid3361 1096: but235 rather through their846 fall3900 salvation4991 is come unto the Gentiles1484, for to1519 provoke3863 them846 to jealousy3863.
12Now1161 if1487 the fall3900 of them846 be the riches4149 of the world2889, and2532 the diminishing2275 of them846 the riches4149 of the Gentiles1484; how4214 much more3123 their846 fulness4138?
13For1063 I speak3004 to you5213 Gentiles1484, inasmuch as1909 3745 3303 I1473 am1510 the apostle652 of the Gentiles1484, I magnify1392 mine3450 office1248:
14If by any means1513 4458 I may provoke to emulation3863 them which are my3450 flesh4561, and2532 might save4982 some5100 of1537 them846.
15For1063 if1487 the casting away580 of them846 be the reconciling2643 of the world2889, what5101 shall the receiving4356 of them be, but1508 life2222 from1537 the dead3498?
16For1161 if1487 the firstfruit536 be holy40, the lump5445 is also2532 holy: and2532 if1487 the root4491 be holy40, so2532 are the branches2798.
17And1161 if some1536 of the branches2798 be broken off1575, and1161 thou4771, being5607 a wild olive tree65, wert graffed in1461 among1722 them846, and2532 with4791 them1096 partakest4791 of the root4491 and2532 fatness4096 of the olive tree1636;
18Boast2620 not3361 against2620 the branches2798. But1161 if1487 thou boast2620, thou4771 bearest941 not3756 the root4491, but235 the root4491 thee4571.
19Thou wilt say2046 then3767, The branches2798 were broken off1575, that2443 I1473 might be graffed in1461.
20Well2573; because of unbelief570 they were broken off1575, and1161 thou4771 standest2476 by faith4102. Be5309 not3361 highminded5309, but235 fear5399:
21For1063 if1487 God2316 spared5339 not3756 the natural5449 branches2798 2596, take heed lest4458 3381 he5339 also3381 spare5339 not3761 thee4675.
22Behold1492 therefore3767 the goodness5544 and2532 severity663 of God2316: on1909 them which fell4098 3303, severity663; but1161 toward1909 thee4571, goodness5544, if1437 thou continue1961 in his goodness5544: otherwise1893 thou4771 also2532 shalt be cut off1581.
23And1161 they1565 also2532, if3362 they abide1961 not3362 still in unbelief570, shall be graffed in1461: for1063 God2316 is2076 able1415 to graff1461 them846 in1461 again3825.
24For1063 if1487 thou4771 wert cut1581 out of1537 the olive tree which is wild65 by2596 nature5449, and2532 wert graffed1461 contrary to3844 nature5449 into1519 a good olive tree2565: how much4214 more3123 shall these3778, which be the natural2596 5449 branches, be graffed into1461 their own2398 olive tree1636?
25For1063 I would2309 not3756, brethren80, that ye5209 should be ignorant50 of this5124 mystery3466, lest3363 ye should be5600 wise5429 in3844 your own conceits1438; that3754 blindness4457 in575 part3313 is happened1096 to Israel2474, until891 3739 the fulness4138 of the Gentiles1484 be come in1525.
26And2532 so3779 all3956 Israel2474 shall be saved4982: as2531 it is written1125, There shall come2240 out of1537 Sion4622 the Deliverer4506, and2532 shall turn away654 ungodliness763 from575 Jacob2384:
27For2532 this3778 is my3844 1700 covenant1242 unto them846, when3752 I shall take away851 their846 sins266.
28As concerning2596 3303 the gospel2098, they are enemies2190 for your sakes1223 5209: but1161 as touching2596 the election1589, they are beloved27 for1223 the fathers'3962 sakes1223.
29For1063 the gifts5486 and2532 calling2821 of God2316 are without repentance278.
30For1063 as5618 2532 ye5210 in times past4218 have not believed544 God2316, yet1161 have1653 now3568 obtained mercy1653 through5130 their unbelief543:
31Even so3779 have544 these3778 also2532 now3568 not believed544, that2443 through your5212 mercy1656 they846 also2532 may obtain mercy1653.
32For1063 God2316 hath concluded4788 them all3956 in1519 unbelief543, that2443 he might have mercy1653 upon all3956.
33O5599 the depth899 of the riches4149 both2532 of the wisdom4678 and2532 knowledge1108 of God2316! how5613 unsearchable419 are his846 judgments2917, and2532 his846 ways3598 past finding out421!
34For1063 who5101 hath known1097 the mind3563 of the Lord2962? or2228 who5101 hath been1096 his846 counsellor4825?
35Or2228 who5101 hath first given4272 to him846, and2532 it shall be recompensed467 unto him846 again467?
36For3754 of1537 him846, and2532 through1223 him846, and2532 to1519 him846, are all things3956: to whom846 be glory1391 for1519 ever165. Amen281.
