| 1 | Now I say, has Yahweh thrust away His people? Certainly not! Indeed I also am an Israelite, of the offspring of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. |
| 2 | Yahweh has not thrust away His people, whom He knew beforehand. Do you not know in Elijah what the writings say? How he petitions Yahweh concerning Israel, |
| 3 | "Yahweh, they have killed your prophets, and they have demolished your altars, and I alone was left remaining, and they seek after my life." |
| 4 | So what did the response to him say? "I have left to Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed a knee to baal." |
| 5 | Now in this manner even in the present time there has been a remnant in accordance with the election of favor. |
| 6 | But if in favor, no longer from rituals: since favor would be favor no longer. |
| 7 | What then, what Israel seeks after, this it did not attain to? But the chosen have succeeded, and the rest were hardened, |
| 8 | just as it is written, "Yahweh has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes that see not, and ears that hear not, unto this very day." |
| 9 | And David says, "Their dining table will be for a snare, and for a hunting of beasts, and for a trap, and for a repayment to them;" |
| 10 | "Their eyes will be darkened to not see, and their backs continually bow." |
| 11 | Now I say, did they stumble in order that they would fall? Certainly not! But in their fall is preservation to the Nations, for the provocation of them to jealousy. |
| 12 | But if their fall is the wealth of the Society, and their defeat the wealth of the Nations, how much more their fullness? |
| 13 | Indeed I speak to you, the Nations, because I am an ambassador of the Nations, I honor my office, |
| 14 | if possibly I would provoke to jealousy my kinsmen, and preserve some from among them. |
| 15 | Indeed if the disposal of them is the reconciliation of the Society, what would the acceptance be, if not life from among the dead? |
| 16 | Now if the first fruit is sacred, then also the balance, and if the root is sacred, also the branches. |
| 17 | But if some of the branches have been broken off and you, being of a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, having become a partaker of the richness of the root of the olive tree, |
| 18 | you must not exult over the branches; but if you exult, you will not sustain the root, or the root you. |
| 19 | Now you will say, Those branches have been broken off, in order that I would be grafted in? |
| 20 | Correct, in disbelief they were broken off, and you in faith stand. Be not proud, but reverent. |
| 21 | Indeed if Yahweh spared not the natural branches, perhaps you may not be spared. |
| 22 | Behold then the goodness and severity of Yahweh: certainly upon those who have fallen, severity; but the goodness of Yahweh upon you, if then you abide in that goodness, otherwise you also will be cut off. |
| 23 | Moreover they also, if they do not remain in disbelief, shall be grafted in; indeed Yahweh is able to graft them in anew. |
| 24 | If you from out of a naturally wild olive tree had been cut off, and contrary to nature had been grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more can those natural ones be grafted into their own olive tree? |
| 25 | For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest you be wise on account of yourselves, that hardness in part has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Nations arrives. |
| 26 | And in that manner all of Israel shall be delivered; just as it is written, "From out of Zion shall come the Deliverer, and He shall turn away impiety from Jakob." |
| 27 | "And this to them is the covenant from Me, when I should remove their guilt." |
| 28 | Certainly concerning the good message, they are on your account enemies; but concerning the chosen, beloved on account of the fathers. |
| 29 | Indeed the favor and the calling of Yahweh are not to be repented of. |
| 30 | Even as you were at one time disobedient to Yahweh, but now are shown mercy due to their disobedience; |
| 31 | in that manner these also are now in opposition to your mercy, so that they may have mercy shown to them. |
| 32 | Therefore Yahweh has enclosed all in disobedience, that He may show mercy to all. |
| 33 | O the depth of riches of both wisdom and knowledge of Yahweh! How unsearchable His judgments and incomprehensible His ways! |
| 34 | "For who has known the mind of Yahweh, or who has become His counselor?" |
| 35 | Or who has betrayed Him? Then they will be requited by Him. |
| 36 | Because from Him and through Him and for Him are all things: to Him is honor for the ages. Truly. |
