Romans 11:4–14

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
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 is it 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:
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
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.
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?
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

11:15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

11:16For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

11:17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

11:18Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

11:19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

11:20Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

11:21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

11:22Behold 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.

11:23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

11:24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
