Romans 11:11-31

New King James Version

Israel’s Rejection Not Final

¹¹ I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But ^(A)through their ^[a]fall, to provoke them to ^(B)jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. ¹² Now if their ^[b]fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!

¹³ For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as ^(C)I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, ¹⁴ if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and ^(D)save some of them. ¹⁵ For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be ^(E)but life from the dead?

¹⁶ For if ^(F)the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. ¹⁷ And if ^(G)some of the branches were broken off, ^(H)and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and ^[c]fatness of the olive tree, ^18 (I)do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

¹⁹ You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” ²⁰ Well said. Because of ^(J)unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. ²¹ For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. ²² Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, ^[d]goodness, ^(K)if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise ^(L)you also will be cut off. ²³ And they also, ^(M)if they do not continue in unbelief, will 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 will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be ^(N)wise in your own ^[e]opinion, that ^(O)blindness in part has happened to Israel ^(P)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel will be ^[f]saved, as it is written:

²⁸ Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are ^(S)beloved for the sake of the fathers. ²⁹ For the gifts and the calling of God are ^(T)irrevocable. ³⁰ For as you ^(U)were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, ³¹ even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy.
