Romans 11:33

¶ Oh, 

The Depth Of The Riches And Wisdom And Knowledge Of God! 

How Unsearchable Are His Judgments And How Inscrutable His Ways!

Romans 11:34

¶

“For  Who Has Known The Mind Of The Lord,

Or  Who Has Been His Counselor?”

   Romans 11:35

“Or  Who Has Given A Gift To Him

That He Might Be Repaid?”

Romans 11:36

¶ For From Him And Through Him And To Him Are All Things. 

To Him Be Glory Forever. Amen.

Romans 11:1

¶ 

I ask, then, 

has God rejected his people? By no means! 

For I myself am an Israelite, 

a descendant of Abraham, 

a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

Romans 11:2

God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. 

Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, 

how he appeals to God against Israel?

Romans 11:3

“Lord, they have killed your prophets, 

they have demolished your altars, 

and I alone am left, 

and they seek my life.”

Romans 11:4

But what is God’s reply to him?  

“I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”

Romans 11:5

So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.

Romans 

But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; 

otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Romans 11:7

¶ 

What then?  

Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,

Romans 11:8

as it is written,

“God gave them a spirit of stupor,

eyes that would not see

and ears that would not hear,

down to this very day.”

Romans 11:9

¶ 

And David says,

“Let their table become a snare and a trap,

a stumbling block and a retribution for them;

Romans 11:10

let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,

and bend their backs forever.”

Romans 11:11

¶ 

 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? 

By no means! Rather, 

 through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, 

so as to make Israel jealous.

Romans 11:12

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 mean!

Romans 11:13

¶ 

Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry

Romans 11:14

in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.

Romans 11:15

For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

Romans 11:6

If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.

Romans 11:17

¶ 

But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree,

Romans 11:18

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.

Romans 11:19

Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be gr
