로마서 11장 NASB
- 1 I say then God has not rejected His people has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite a descendant of Abraham of the tribe of Benjamin.
- 2 God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah how he pleads with God against Israel?
- 3 "Lord THEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS AND I ALONE AM LEFT AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE."
- 4 But what is the divine response to him? "I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."
- 5 In the same way then there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice.
- 6 But if it is by grace it is no longer on the basis of works otherwise grace is no longer grace.
- 7 What then? What Israel is seeking it has not obtained but those who were chosen obtained it and the rest were hardened;
- 8 just as it is written "GOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY."
- 9 And David says "LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM.
- 10 "LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER."
- 11 I say then they did not stumble so as to fall did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous.
- 12 Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles how much more will their fulfillment be!
- 13 But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles I magnify my ministry
- 14 if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.
- 15 For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
- 16 If the first piece of dough is holy the lump is also; and if the root is holy the branches are too.
- 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 rich root of the olive tree
- 18 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.
- 19 You will say then "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."
- 20 Quite right they were broken off for their unbelief but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited but fear;
- 21 for if God did not spare the natural branches He will not spare you either.
- 22 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.
- 23 And they also if they do not continue in their unbelief will be grafted in for God is able to graft them in again.
- 24 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?
- 25 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;
- 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."
- 27 "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."
- 28 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;
- 29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
- 30 For just as you once were disobedient to God but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience
- 31 so these also now have been disobedient that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.
- 32 For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.
- 33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!
- 34 For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?
- 35 Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN?
- 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
