Chapters
ROM 11:1 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.
ROM 11:11 I say then, have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid. But by their offence, salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.
ROM 11:12 Now if the offence of them be the riches of the world, and the diminution of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more the fulness of them?
ROM 11:13 For I say to you, Gentiles: as long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry,
ROM 11:14 If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
ROM 11:15 For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
ROM 11:16 For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
ROM 11:17 And if some of the branches be broken, and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them, and art made partaker of the root, and of the fatness of the olive tree,
ROM 11:18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
ROM 11:19 Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
ROM 11:20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear.
ROM 11:21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee.
ROM 11:22 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.
ROM 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
ROM 11:24 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?
ROM 11:25 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.
ROM 11:26 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.
ROM 11:27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
ROM 11:28 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.
ROM 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
ROM 11:30 For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief;
ROM 11:31 So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
ROM 11:32 For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
ROM 11:33 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!
ROM 11:34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
ROM 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
ROM 11:36 For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.
