Romans 11
New King James Version
Israel’s Rejection Not Total
11 I say then, (A)has God cast away His people? (B)Certainly not! For (C)I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom (D)He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, 3 (E)“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? 4 But what does the divine response say to him? (F)“I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 (G)Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6 And (H)if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. [a]But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
7 What then? (I)Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were (J)blinded. 8 Just as it is written:
(K)“God has given them a spirit of stupor,
(L)Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”
9 And David says:
(M)“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”
Israel’s Rejection Not Final
11 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But (N)through their [b]fall, to provoke them to (O)jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their [c]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 (P)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 (Q)save some of them. 15 For if their being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their acceptance be (R)but life from the dead?
16 For if (S)the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if (T)some of the branches were broken off, (U)and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and [d]fatness of the olive tree, 18 (V)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 (W)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, [e]goodness, (X)if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise (Y)you also will be cut off. 23 And they also, (Z)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 (AA)wise in your own [f]opinion, that (AB)blindness in part has happened to Israel (AC)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And so all Israel will be [g]saved, as it is written:
(AD)“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For (AE)this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”
28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are (AF)beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are (AG)irrevocable. 30 For as you (AH)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. 32 For God has [h]committed them (AI)all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
33 Oh, 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 has known the (AJ)mind of the Lord?
Or (AK)who has become His counselor?”
35 “Or(AL) who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”
36 For (AM)of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, (AN)to whom be glory forever. Amen.

English Standard Version
The Remnant of Israel
11 I ask, then, (A)has God rejected his people? By no means! For (B)I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,[a] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 (C)God has not rejected his people whom he (D)foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 (E)“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 But what is God's reply to him? (F)“I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is (G)a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 (H)But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
7 What then? (I)Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest (J)were hardened, 8 as it is written,
(K)“God gave them a spirit of stupor,
(L)eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.”
9 And David says,
(M)“Let their table become a snare and a trap,
a stumbling block and a retribution for them;
10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and bend their backs forever.”
Gentiles Grafted In
11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass (N)salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[b] mean!
13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as (O)I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and (P)thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means (Q)the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 (R)If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 But if (S)some of the branches were broken off, and you, (T)although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[c] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you (U)stand fast through faith. So (V)do not become proud, but (W)fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, (X)provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise (Y)you too will be cut off. 23 And (Z)even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
The Mystery of Israel's Salvation
25 (AA)Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers:[d] (AB)a partial hardening has come upon Israel, (AC)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
(AD)“The Deliverer will come (AE)from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27 “and this will be my (AF)covenant with them
(AG)when I take away their sins.”
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are (AH)beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and (AI)the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as (AJ)you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now[e] receive mercy. 32 For God (AK)has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and (AL)wisdom and knowledge of God! (AM)How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 “For (AN)who has known the mind of the Lord,
or (AO)who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or (AP)who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”
36 For (AQ)from him and through him and to him are all things. (AR)To him be glory forever. Amen.

New Russian Translation
Бог не отверг Свой народ
11 Поэтому я хочу спросить: разве Бог отверг Свой народ? Конечно же нет! Я и сам израильтянин, потомок Авраама[a] из рода Вениамина. 2 Бог не отверг Свой народ[b], который Он избрал от начала.
Вы ведь знаете из Писания о том, как Илия обвинял израильтян перед Богом:
3 «Господи, они убили Твоих пророков
и разрушили Твои жертвенники.
Остался лишь я один,
и они пытаются убить и меня»[c].
4 Но что Бог ему ответил? «Я сохранил Себе семь тысяч человек, которые не преклонили своих колен перед Баалом!»[d] 5 Так и сейчас есть остаток, избранный по Божьей благодати, 6 а если по благодати, то значит не по делам, ведь в противном случае благодать уже не была бы благодатью.
7 Так, что же? То, к чему Израиль так стремился, он не получил, только избранные получили, а все остальные ожесточились. 8 Как написано:
«Бог сделал их дух нечувствительным,
Он закрыл им глаза, чтобы они не видели,
и уши, чтобы они не слышали,
вплоть до сегодняшнего дня»[e].
9 Давид говорит:
«Пусть будет стол их петлей и западней для них,
камнем преткновения и возмездием.
10 Пусть их глаза померкнут, чтобы они не видели,
и пусть их спины согнутся навсегда»[f].
Дикие и природные ветви
11 Итак, я спрашиваю: может быть, они споткнулись, чтобы упасть навсегда? Конечно же нет! Но их падение принесло спасение язычникам, которое должно возбудить ревность[g] и в самих израильтянах. 12 Если их падение принесло богатство миру и если их потери принесли богатство язычникам, то насколько же больше богатства принесет их полное обращение!
13 Говорю вам, язычники. Как апостол язычников, я высоко ценю мое служение 14 и надеюсь, что смогу как-то возбудить ревность моего народа, чтобы спасти хоть некоторых из них. 15 Ведь, если их отвержение принесло миру примирение, то чем будет их принятие, как не воскресением из мертвых?[h] 16 Если часть теста посвящается Богу, то и все тесто посвящено Ему, и если корень посвящен Богу, то и ветви посвящены Ему.
17 Если же отдельные ветви были отломлены, а ты, дикая олива, была привита на их место и питаешься от соков корня оливкового дерева, 18 то не хвались тем, что ты лучше их. Если ты превозносишься, то подумай о том, что не ты держишь корень, а корень – тебя. 19 Может быть, ты скажешь: «Ветви были отломлены, чтобы привить меня». 20 Да, но они были отломлены из-за своего неверия, а ты держишься благодаря вере. Поэтому не гордись, но бойся. 21 Ведь если Бог не пожалел природных ветвей, то Он не пожалеет и тебя.
22 Подумай о доброте и о строгости Божьей: строгости к тем, кто отпал, и доброте к тебе, при условии, что ты продолжаешь жить в Его доброте, иначе ты тоже будешь отсечен. 23 Если они не будут оставаться в неверии, то снова будут привиты, потому что Бог в силах привить их опять. 24 Если ты был срезан с дикого по природе оливкового дерева и вопреки своей природе был привит к окультуренному дереву, то тем более природные ветви привьются к своему собственному дереву!
Предстоящее спасение Израиля
25 Братья, чтобы вы не считали себя умнее, чем вы есть, я не хочу оставить вас в неведении о тайне: часть Израиля будет ожесточена до тех пор, пока полностью не придет к Богу полное число язычников. 26 И таким образом, весь Израиль будет спасен, как написано:
«С Сиона придет Избавитель.
Он удалит нечестие от Иакова.
27 И это Мой завет с ними,
когда сниму с них их грехи»[i].
28 Что касается Радостной Вести, то они стали врагами ради вас, чтобы вы были спасены, но что касается избрания, то они любимы Богом ради отцов. 29 Божьи дары и Его призвание неизменны. 30 Вы раньше были непокорны Богу, а сейчас из-за их непокорности Бог помиловал вас. 31 Так и они стали сейчас непокорны, чтобы и им тоже быть помилованными благодаря милости Божьей, проявленной к вам. 32 Бог провел все без исключения народы через непокорность, чтобы всех их помиловать.
33 О глубина богатства, мудрости и знания Бога!
Как непостижимы Его решения
и неисследимы пути Его!
34 «Кто постиг разум Господа
или был Ему советником?»[j]
35 «Кто Ему что-либо дал,
что Он остался тому должен?»[k]
36 Ведь все происходит от Него и через Него,
и для Него все существует.
Хвала Ему вовеки! Аминь.
