| 1 | I ask then, Did God reject his people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. | 1Sa 12:22 2Ki 23:27 Ps 77:7 Ps 89:31-37 Ps 94:14 Jer 31:36 Jer 31:37 Jer 33:24-26 Hos 9:17 Am 9:8 Am 9:9 |
| 2 | God didn`t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don`t you know what the scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel: | Ro 8:29 Ro 8:30 Ro 9:6 Ro 9:23 Ac 13:48 Ac 15:18 1Pe 1:2 |
| 3 | "Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life." | 1Ki 18:4 1Ki 18:13 1Ki 19:10-18 Ne 9:26 Jer 2:30 |
| 4 | But how does God answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." | 1Ki 19:18 |
| 5 | Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. | Ro 11:6 Ro 11:7 Ro 9:27 |
| 6 | And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. | Ro 3:27 Ro 3:28 Ro 4:4 Ro 4:5 Ro 5:20 Ro 5:21 Dt 9:4-6 1Co 15:10 Ga 2:21 Ga 5:4 Eph 2:4-9 2Ti 1:9 Tit 3:5 |
| 7 | What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn`t obtain, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened. | Ro 3:9 Ro 6:15 1Co 10:19 Php 1:18 |
| 8 | According as it is written, "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day." | Isa 29:10 |
| 9 | David says, "Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, A stumbling block, and a retribution to them. | Ps 69:22 Ps 69:23 |
| 10 | Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Bow down their back always." | Ro 11:8 Ro 1:21 Ps 69:23 Zc 11:17 Eph 4:18 2Pe 2:4 2Pe 2:17 Jud 1:6 Jud 1:13 |
| 11 | I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Certainly not! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy. | Ezk 18:23 Ezk 18:32 Ezk 33:11 |
| 12 | Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness? | Ro 11:15 Ro 11:33 Ro 9:23 Eph 3:8 Col 1:27 |
| 13 | For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry; | Ro 15:16-19 Ac 9:15 Ac 13:2 Ac 22:21 Ac 26:17 Ac 26:18 Ga 1:16 Ga 2:2 Ga 2:7-9 Eph 3:8 1Ti 2:7 2Ti 1:11 2Ti 1:12 |
| 14 | if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them. | 1Co 7:16 1Co 9:20-22 2Ti 2:10 |
| 15 | For if the rejection of them [is] the reconciling of the world, what would the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? | Ro 11:1 Ro 11:2 Ro 11:11 Ro 11:12 |
| 16 | If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches. | Ex 22:29 Ex 23:16 Ex 23:19 Lv 23:10 Nm 15:17-21 Dt 18:4 Dt 26:10 Ne 10:35-37 Pr 3:9 Ezk 44:30 Jm 1:18 Rev 14:4 |
| 17 | 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 root of the richness of the olive tree; | Ps 80:11-16 Isa 6:13 Isa 27:11 Jer 11:16 Ezk 15:6-8 Mt 8:11 Mt 8:12 Mt 21:43 Jn 15:6 |
| 18 | don`t boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who bear the root, but the root you. | Ro 11:20 Ro 3:27 1Ki 20:11 Pr 16:18 Mt 26:33 Lk 18:9-11 1Co 10:12 |
| 19 | You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." | Ro 11:11 Ro 11:12 Ro 11:17 Ro 11:23 Ro 11:24 |
| 20 | True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don`t be conceited, but fear; | Jn 4:17 Jn 4:18 Jm 2:19 |
| 21 | for if God didn`t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. | Ro 11:17 Ro 11:19 Ro 8:32 Jer 25:29 Jer 49:12 1Co 10:1-12 2Pe 2:4-9 Jud 1:5 |
| 22 | See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off. | Ro 2:4 Ro 2:5 Ro 9:22 Ro 9:23 Nm 14:18-22 Dt 32:39-43 Jsh 23:15 Jsh 23:16 Ps 58:10 Ps 58:11 Ps 78:49-52 Ps 136:15-22 Isa 66:14 |
| 23 | They also, if they don`t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. | Zc 12:10 Mt 23:39 2Co 3:16 |
| 24 | For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? | Ro 11:17 Ro 11:18 Ro 11:30 |
| 25 | For I don`t desire, brothers, to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you won`t be wise in your own conceits, that a hardening in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles have come in, | Ps 107:43 Hos 14:9 1Co 10:1 1Co 12:1 2Pe 3:8 |
| 26 | and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, And he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. | Isa 11:11-16 Isa 45:17 Isa 54:6-10 Jer 3:17-23 Jer 30:17-22 Jer 31:31-37 Jer 32:37-41 Jer 33:24-26 Ezk 34:22-31 Ezk 37:21-28 Ezk 39:25-29 Ezk 40:1-48 Hos 3:5 Jl 3:16-21 Am 9:14 Am 9:15 Mic 7:15-20 Zep 3:12-20 Zc 10:6-12 |
| 27 | This is my covenant to them, When I will take away their sins." | Isa 55:3 Isa 59:21 Jer 31:31-34 Jer 32:38-40 Heb 8:8-12 Heb 10:16 |
| 28 | Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers` sake. | Ro 11:11 Ro 11:30 Mt 21:43 Ac 13:45 Ac 13:46 Ac 14:2 Ac 18:6 1Th 2:15 1Th 2:16 |
| 29 | For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. | Nm 23:19 Hos 13:14 Mal 3:6 |
| 30 | For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, | 1Co 6:9-11 Eph 2:1 Eph 2:2 Eph 2:12 Eph 2:13 Eph 2:19-21 Col 3:7 Tit 3:3-7 |
| 31 | even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy. | Ro 10:16 Ro 11:15 Ro 11:25 |
| 32 | For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all. | Ro 3:9 Ro 3:22 Ga 3:22 |
| 33 | Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out! | Ps 107:8-43 Pr 25:3 Eph 3:18 |
| 34 | "For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?" | Jb 15:8 Jb 36:22 Isa 40:13 Jer 23:18 1Co 2:16 |
| 35 | "Or who has first given to him, And it will be repaid to him again?" | Jb 35:7 Jb 41:11 Mt 20:15 1Co 4:7 |
| 36 | For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen. | 1Ch 29:11 1Ch 29:12 Ps 33:6 Pr 16:4 Dn 2:20-23 Dn 4:3 Dn 4:34 Mt 6:13 Ac 17:25 Ac 17:26 Ac 17:28 1Co 8:6 Eph 4:6-10 Col 1:15-17 Rev 21:6 |
