- Romans 11:1–12Rank 8 from verse 22
1I 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.
2God 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,
3Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4But 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.
5Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
7What 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.
9And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
11I 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.
12Now 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?
1¶ I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbidde. For I also am an Israelite of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
2God hath not cast away his people which hee foreknew. Wote yee not what the Scripture saieth of Elias? how hee maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3*Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine Altars, and I am left alone, and they seeke my life.
4But what saieth the answere of God vnto him? *I haue reserued to my selfe seuen thousand men, who haue not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5Euen so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6And if by grace, then is it no more of workes: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it bee of workes, then is it no more grace, otherwise worke is no more worke.
7What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for, but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were ‖blinded,
8According as it is written, *God hath giuen them the spirit of ‖slumber: *eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
9And Dauid sayth, *Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling blocke, and a recompense vnto them.
10*Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow downe their backe alway.
11I say then; Haue they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid. But rather through their fall, saluation is come vnto the Gentiles, for to prouoke them to ielousie.
12Now 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 fulnesse?
