- But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,
- if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.
- For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
- If the first piece of dough is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are too.
- But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,
|
- I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry
- in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
- For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
- If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
- If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
|
- do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.
- You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
- Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith Do not be conceited, but fear;
- for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.
- Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
|
- do not boast over those branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
- You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in."
- Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
- For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
- Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
|
- And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
- For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?
- For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
- and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."
- "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."
|
- And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
- 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, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
- 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.
- And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
- And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."
|
- From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God's choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers;
- for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
- For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,
- so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.
- For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.
|
- As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies on your account; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,
- for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.
- Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
- so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you.
- For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
|
- Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
- For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?
- Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?
- For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
|
- Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
- "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"
- "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay him?"
- For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
