Romans 11
New International Version
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) 2 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: 3 “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) 4 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) 5 So too, at the present time there is a remnant(H) chosen by grace.(I) 6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works;(J) if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
7 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) 8 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)
9 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)

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.

Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Hindi Ganap na Itinakwil ng Diyos ang Israel
11 Kaya ito (A) ang sinasabi ko: Itinakwil na ba ng Diyos ang kanyang bayan? Huwag nawang mangyari! Ako mismo ay Israelita, mula sa lahi ni Abraham, mula sa lipi ni Benjamin. 2 Hindi itinakwil ng Diyos ang kanyang bayan na kanyang kinilala noong una pa man. Hindi ba ninyo alam ang sinasabi ng Kasulatan tungkol kay Elias, kung paano siyang dumaing sa Diyos laban sa Israel? 3 “Panginoon,”(B) sabi niya, “pinatay nila ang iyong mga propeta at giniba ang iyong mga dambana. Ako na lang ang natitira, at sinisikap nila akong patayin!” 4 Ngunit ano (C) ang sagot sa kanya ng Diyos? “Nagtira ako para sa akin ng pitong libong lalaking hindi yumuyukod kay Baal.” 5 Kaya hanggang sa kasalukuyan ay may nalalabi pa ring mga hinirang sa pamamagitan ng biyaya ng Diyos. 6 At kung ang paghirang ay sa pamamagitan ng biyaya, ito'y hindi batay sa mga gawa, sapagkat kung gayon, hindi magiging biyaya ang biyaya. 7 Ano ngayon? Hindi nakamtan ng Israel ang pinagsikapan nitong makuha. Ito'y nakamtan ng mga hinirang, subalit ang iba nama'y nagmatigas. 8 Gaya (D) ng nasusulat,
“Binigyan sila ng Diyos ng manhid na diwa,
ng mga matang hindi makakita,
at ng mga taingang hindi makarinig
hanggang sa araw na ito.”
9 Sinabi (E) naman ni David,
“Ang hapag nawa nila'y maging bitag at patibong,
isang katitisuran, at ganti sa kanila;
10 lumabo nawa ang kanilang mga paningin, upang hindi sila makakita,
at sa hirap ay makuba sila habang panahon.”
Ang Kaligtasan ng mga Hentil
11 Kaya't sinasabi ko: natisod ba sila upang tuluyang mabuwal? Huwag nawang mangyari! Sa halip, dahil sa pagsuway nila ay dumating ang kaligtasan sa mga Hentil, upang ibunsod sa selos ang Israel. 12 Ngayon, kung ang pagsuway nila ay nagdulot ng kayamanan para sa sanlibutan, at ang pagkalugi nila ay naging kayamanan para sa mga Hentil, gaano pa kaya ang idudulot ng kanilang lubos na pagbabalik-loob?
13 Ito naman ang sasabihin ko sa inyo, mga Hentil. Dahil ako nga ang apostol para sa mga Hentil, ikinararangal ko ang aking ministeryo 14 sa pag-asang maibunsod ko sa selos ang aking mga kalahi at sa gayon ay mailigtas ko ang ilan sa kanila. 15 Sapagkat kung ang kanilang pagkatakwil ay naging daan ng pagbabalik-loob ng sanlibutan, hindi ba't ang kanilang pagtanggap ay maitutulad sa muling pagkabuhay mula sa kamatayan? 16 Kung ang masa ng tinapay na inialay bilang unang bunga ay banal, banal din ang buong masa na pinagkunan niyon. Kung banal ang ugat, gayundin ang mga sanga. 17 Kung pinutol ang ilang sanga ng punong olibo, at ikaw na sangang ligaw ay idinugtong sa puno upang makabahagi sa katas na nagmumula sa ugat ng punong ito, 18 huwag kang magmalaki sa mga sangang pinutol. Alalahanin mong hindi ikaw ang bumubuhay sa mga ugat, kundi ang ugat ang bumubuhay sa iyo. 19 Maaaring sabihin mo, “Pinutol ang mga sanga upang ako'y maidugtong.” 20 Tama iyan. Ngunit pinutol sila dahil sa kawalan nila ng pananampalataya, at ikaw naman ay idinugtong dahil sa iyong pananampalataya. Kaya't huwag kang magmataas, sa halip ay matakot ka. 21 Sapagkat kung ang mga likas na sanga ay hindi pinanghinayangan ng Diyos, ikaw man ay hindi niya panghihinayangan. 22 Kaya't masdan ninyo ang kabutihan at kabagsikan ng Diyos: kabagsikan sa mga humiwalay, ngunit kabutihan sa iyo, kung mananatili ka sa kanyang kabutihan. Kung hindi, puputulin ka rin. 23 At kung sila'y hindi magpupumilit sa di-pagsampalataya, muli silang idudugtong, sapagkat kaya ng Diyos na sila'y muling idugtong. 24 Kung ikaw na sangang galing sa ligaw na olibo ay naidugtong sa inaalagaang olibo kahit salungat sa likas na paraan, lalo pang maaaring idugtong ang mga likas na sanga sa sarili nitong puno.
Ang Panunumbalik ng Israel
25 Mga kapatid, hindi ko nais na kayong mga Hentil ay maging mataas ang tingin sa sarili. Kaya't nais kong maunawaan ninyo ang hiwagang ito. Nagkaroon ng pagmamatigas ang isang bahagi ng Israel, hanggang makapasok ang kabuuang bilang ng mga Hentil. 26 Sa (F) ganitong paraan maliligtas ang buong Israel. Gaya ng nasusulat,
“Magbubuhat sa Zion ang sasagip sa atin;
aalisin niya ang kasamaan mula sa lahi ni Jacob.”
27 “At ito (G) ang aking pakikipagtipan sa kanila,
kapag pinawi ko na ang kanilang mga kasalanan.”
28 Tungkol sa ebanghelyo, naging kaaway sila ng Diyos alang-alang sa inyo. Tungkol naman sa paghirang, sila'y mga minamahal ng Diyos alang-alang sa kanilang mga ninuno. 29 Sapagkat hindi maaaring bawiin ang mga kaloob at ang pagtawag ng Diyos. 30 Dati kayong mga suwail sa Diyos subalit ngayo'y kinahabagan dahil sa kanilang pagsuway. 31 Ngayon nama'y sila ang naging suwail upang sa pamamagitan ng habag na ipinakita sa inyo, sila rin ay tumanggap ng habag ng Diyos. 32 Sapagkat ibinilanggo ng Diyos ang lahat sa pagsuway upang mahabag siya sa lahat.
33 Napakalalim(H) ng kayamanan at karunungan at kaalaman ng Diyos! Hindi maabot ng isip ng tao ang kanyang hatol, at hindi masiyasat ang kanyang mga paraan!
34 “Sapagkat sino (I) ang nakaaalam sa pag-iisip ng Panginoon,
o sino ang kanyang naging tagapayo?”
35 “Sino (J) ang nakapagbigay sa Diyos ng anuman,
upang siya'y bayaran ng Diyos?”
36 Sapagkat (K) mula sa kanya, at sa pamamagitan niya, at para sa kanya ang lahat ng mga bagay. Sumakanya ang kaluwalhatian magpakailanman. Amen.

King James Version
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.
2 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,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 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.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6 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.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
8 (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.
9 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.
