Romans 11

1. 1

   I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

   Romans 11:1KJV

2. 2

   God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

   Romans 11:2KJV

3. 3

   Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

   Romans 11:3KJV

4. 4

   But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

   Romans 11:4KJV

5. 5

   Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

   Romans 11:5KJV

6. 6

   And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

   Romans 11:6KJV

7. 7

   What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

   Romans 11:7KJV

8. 8

   (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

   Romans 11:8KJV

9. 9

   And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

   Romans 11:9KJV

10. 10

    Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

    Romans 11:10KJV

11. 11

    I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

    Romans 11:11KJV

12. 12

    Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

    Romans 11:12KJV

13. 13

    For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

    Romans 11:13KJV

14. 14

    If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

    Romans 11:14KJV

15. 15

    For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

    Romans 11:15KJV

16. 16

    For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

    Romans 11:16KJV

17. 17

    And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

    Romans 11:17KJV

18. 18

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

    Romans 11:18KJV

19. 19

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

    Romans 11:19KJV

20. 20

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

    Romans 11:20KJV

21. 21

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

    Romans 11:21KJV

22. 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.

    Romans 11:22KJV

23. 23

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

    Romans 11:23KJV

24. 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?

    Romans 11:24KJV

25. 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.

    Romans 11:25KJV

26. 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:

    Romans 11:26KJV

27. 27

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

    Romans 11:27KJV

28. 28

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

    Romans 11:28KJV

29. 29

    For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

    Romans 11:29KJV

30. 30

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

    Romans 11:30KJV

31. 31

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

    Romans 11:31KJV

32. 32

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

    Romans 11:32KJV

33. 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!

    Romans 11:33KJV

34. 34

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

    Romans 11:34KJV

35. 35

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

    Romans 11:35KJV

36. 36

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

    Romans 11:36KJV
