tcent@Romans:11:1 @ I ask, then, has God rejected his people? Certainly not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.
tcent@Romans:11:2 @ God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?
tcent@Romans:11:3 @ »Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.«
tcent@Romans:11:4 @ But what is God's reply to him? »I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.«
tcent@Romans:11:5 @ So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
tcent@Romans:11:6 @ And if it is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
tcent@Romans:11:7 @ What then? Israel did not obtain what it sought. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,
tcent@Romans:11:8 @ as it is written:
tcent@Romans:11:9 @ And David says:
tcent@Romans:11:10" />
tcent@Romans:11:11 @ So I ask, have they stumbled so as to fall? Certainly not! But through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous.
tcent@Romans:11:12 @ Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fullness mean!
tcent@Romans:11:13 @ Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
tcent@Romans:11:14 @ in the hope that I may somehow arouse to jealousy the kinsmen of my flesh and save some of them.
tcent@Romans:11:15 @ For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
tcent@Romans:11:16 @ If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole lump is holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
tcent@Romans:11:17 @ And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the rest to share the root of the olive tree,
tcent@Romans:11:18 @ do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.
tcent@Romans:11:19 @ You will say then, »Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.«
tcent@Romans:11:20 @ That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast only by faith. So do not be proud, but stand in awe.
tcent@Romans:11:21 @ For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
tcent@Romans:11:22 @ Therefore consider the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
tcent@Romans:11:23 @ And they also, if they do not persist in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
tcent@Romans:11:24 @ For if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these natural branches be grafted back into their own olive tree!
tcent@Romans:11:25 @ I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
tcent@Romans:11:26 @ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
tcent@Romans:11:27" />
tcent@Romans:11:28 @ As regards the gospel they are enemies of God, for your sake; but as regards election they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.
tcent@Romans:11:29 @ For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
tcent@Romans:11:30 @ Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,
tcent@Romans:11:31 @ so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy.
tcent@Romans:11:32 @ For God has bound all men over to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.
tcent@Romans:11:33 @ Oh, the depth of the riches and of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past finding out!
tcent@Romans:11:34" />
tcent@Romans:11:35" />
tcent@Romans:11:36 @ For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
