以色列人不全被弃

11 我且说,神弃绝了他的百姓吗?断乎没有。因为我也是以色列人,亚伯拉罕的后裔,属便雅悯支派的。 神并没有弃绝他预先所知道的百姓。你们岂不晓得经上论到以利亚是怎么说的呢?他在神面前怎样控告以色列人说: “主啊,他们杀了你的先知,拆了你的祭坛,只剩下我一个人,他们还要寻索我的命。” 神的回话是怎么说的呢?他说:“我为自己留下七千人,是未曾向巴力屈膝的。” 如今也是这样,照着拣选的恩典,还有所留的余数。 既是出于恩典,就不在乎行为;不然,恩典就不是恩典了。 这是怎么样呢?以色列人所求的,他们没有得着,唯有蒙拣选的人得着了,其余的就成了顽梗不化的。 如经上所记:“神给他们昏迷的心,眼睛不能看见,耳朵不能听见,直到今日。” 大卫也说:“愿他们的筵席变为网罗,变为机槛,变为绊脚石,做他们的报应。 10 愿他们的眼睛昏蒙,不得看见,愿你时常弯下他们的腰。”

犹太人所失为外邦人所得

11 我且说,他们失脚是要他们跌倒吗?断乎不是。反倒因他们的过失,救恩便临到外邦人,要激动他们发愤。 12 若他们的过失为天下的富足,他们的缺乏为外邦人的富足,何况他们的丰满呢?

13 我对你们外邦人说这话:因我是外邦人的使徒,所以敬重[a]我的职分, 14 或者可以激动我骨肉之亲发愤,好救他们一些人。 15 若他们被丢弃,天下就得与神和好,他们被收纳,岂不是死而复生吗? 16 所献的新面若是圣洁,全团也就圣洁了;树根若是圣洁,树枝也就圣洁了。 17 若有几根枝子被折下来,你这野橄榄得接在其中,一同得着橄榄根的肥汁, 18 你就不可向旧枝子夸口。若是夸口,当知道不是你托着根,乃是根托着你。 19 你若说,那枝子被折下来是特为叫我接上。 20 不错,他们因为不信所以被折下来,你因为信所以立得住。你不可自高,反要惧怕。 21 神既不爱惜原来的枝子,也必不爱惜你。 22 可见神的恩慈和严厉:向那跌倒的人是严厉的;向你是有恩慈的,只要你长久在他的恩慈里;不然,你也要被砍下来。 23 而且他们若不是长久不信,仍要被接上,因为神能够把他们重新接上。 24 你是从那天生的野橄榄上砍下来的,尚且逆着性得接在好橄榄上,何况这本树的枝子要接在本树上呢?

犹太人暂时被弃终必得救

25 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不知道这奥秘,恐怕你们自以为聪明,就是:以色列人有几分是硬心的,等到外邦人的数目添满了, 26 于是以色列全家都要得救。如经上所记:“必有一位救主从锡安出来,要消除雅各家的一切罪恶。” 27 又说:“我除去他们罪的时候,这就是我与他们所立的约。” 28 就着福音说,他们为你们的缘故是仇敌;就着拣选说,他们为列祖的缘故是蒙爱的。 29 因为神的恩赐和选召是没有后悔的。 30 你们从前不顺服神,如今因他们的不顺服,你们倒蒙了怜恤。 31 这样,他们也是不顺服,叫他们因着施给你们的怜恤,现在也就蒙怜恤。 32 因为神将众人都圈在不顺服之中,特意要怜恤众人。

主智无穷主道难寻

33 深哉,神丰富的智慧和知识!他的判断何其难测,他的踪迹何其难寻! 34 “谁知道主的心,谁做过他的谋士呢? 35 谁是先给了他,使他后来偿还呢?” 36 因为万有都是本于他,倚靠他,归于他。愿荣耀归给他,直到永远!阿门。

The Remnant of Israel

11 I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means!(A) I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham,(B) from the tribe of Benjamin.(C) God did not reject his people,(D) whom he foreknew.(E) Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: “Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”[a]?(F) And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”[b](G) So too, at the present time there is a remnant(H) chosen by grace.(I) And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works;(J) if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain.(K) The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,(L) as it is written:

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
    eyes that could not see
    and ears that could not hear,(M)
to this very day.”[c](N)

And David says:

“May their table become a snare and a trap,
    a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see,(O)
    and their backs be bent forever.”[d](P)

Ingrafted Branches

11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all!(Q) Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles(R) to make Israel envious.(S) 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles,(T) how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!

13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles,(U) I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy(V) and save(W) some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation(X) to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?(Y) 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits(Z) is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

17 If some of the branches have been broken off,(AA) and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others(AB) and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.(AC) 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.(AD) Do not be arrogant,(AE) but tremble.(AF) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

22 Consider therefore the kindness(AG) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(AH) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(AI) 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.(AJ) 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree,(AK) how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!

All Israel Will Be Saved

25 I do not want you to be ignorant(AL) of this mystery,(AM) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:(AN) Israel has experienced a hardening(AO) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,(AP) 26 and in this way[e] all Israel will be saved.(AQ) As it is written:

“The deliverer will come from Zion;
    he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[f] my covenant with them
    when I take away their sins.”[g](AR)

28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(AS) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(AT) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(AU) are irrevocable.(AV) 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient(AW) to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[h] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience(AX) so that he may have mercy on them all.

Doxology

33 Oh, the depth of the riches(AY) of the wisdom and[i] knowledge of God!(AZ)
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!(BA)
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has been his counselor?”[j](BB)
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?”[k](BC)
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.(BD)
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.(BE)

11 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.

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,

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

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.

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

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

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

(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.

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

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.

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:

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

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

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

以色列人不全被弃

11 我且说,神弃绝了他的百姓吗?断乎没有。因为我也是以色列人,亚伯拉罕的后裔,属便雅悯支派的。 神并没有弃绝他预先所知道的百姓。你们岂不晓得经上论到以利亚是怎么说的呢?他在神面前怎样控告以色列人说: “主啊,他们杀了你的先知,拆了你的祭坛,只剩下我一个人,他们还要寻索我的命。” 神的回话是怎么说的呢?他说:“我为自己留下七千人,是未曾向巴力屈膝的。” 如今也是这样,照着拣选的恩典,还有所留的余数。 既是出于恩典,就不在乎行为;不然,恩典就不是恩典了。 这是怎么样呢?以色列人所求的,他们没有得着,唯有蒙拣选的人得着了,其余的就成了顽梗不化的。 如经上所记:“神给他们昏迷的心,眼睛不能看见,耳朵不能听见,直到今日。” 大卫也说:“愿他们的筵席变为网罗,变为机槛,变为绊脚石,做他们的报应。 10 愿他们的眼睛昏蒙,不得看见,愿你时常弯下他们的腰。”

犹太人暂时被弃终必得救

25 弟兄们,我不愿意你们不知道这奥秘,恐怕你们自以为聪明,就是:以色列人有几分是硬心的,等到外邦人的数目添满了, 26 于是以色列全家都要得救。如经上所记:“必有一位救主从锡安出来,要消除雅各家的一切罪恶。” 27 又说:“我除去他们罪的时候,这就是我与他们所立的约。” 28 就着福音说,他们为你们的缘故是仇敌;就着拣选说,他们为列祖的缘故是蒙爱的。 29 因为神的恩赐和选召是没有后悔的。 30 你们从前不顺服神,如今因他们的不顺服,你们倒蒙了怜恤。 31 这样,他们也是不顺服,叫他们因着施给你们的怜恤,现在也就蒙怜恤。 32 因为神将众人都圈在不顺服之中,特意要怜恤众人。

主智无穷主道难寻

33 深哉,神丰富的智慧和知识!他的判断何其难测,他的踪迹何其难寻! 34 “谁知道主的心,谁做过他的谋士呢? 35 谁是先给了他,使他后来偿还呢?” 36 因为万有都是本于他,倚靠他,归于他。愿荣耀归给他,直到永远!阿门。
