All hail the power of Jesus' name,
let angels prostrate fall.
| Romans 10:20 | Then Isaiah very boldly says, “I was found by those (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) who were not looking for me; I became well known to those (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) who were not asking for me.” |
| Romans 10:21 | But concerning Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and argumentative people.” |
| Romans 11:1 | So I ask, has God repudiated his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin. |
| Romans 11:2 | God has not repudiated his people whom he foreknew. Or do you not know what the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) God against Israel? |
| Romans 11:3 | “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have torn down your altars, and I alone am left, and they are seeking my life.” |
| Romans 11:4 | But what was God’s response to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) Baal.” |
| Romans 11:5 | So too at the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. |
| Romans 11:6 | And 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, but the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) elect obtained it. The (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) rest were hardened, |
| Romans 11:8 | as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) would not see and ears that (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) would not hear, to this (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) very day.” |
| Romans 11:9 | And David says, “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them. |
| Romans 11:10 | May their eyes be darkened so (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) they cannot see, and keep their backs constantly bent.” |
| Romans 11:11 | So I ask, did they stumble so as to fall? By no means! But because of (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) their transgression salvation has come to the (tois | τοῖς | dat pl neut) Gentiles so as to make Israel jealous. |
| Romans 11:12 | Now if their transgression means riches for the world and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean! |
| Romans 11:13 | I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry, |
| Romans 11:14 | if somehow I could provoke my own countrymen to jealousy and save some of them. |
| Romans 11:15 | For if their rejection leads to the reconciliation of the world, what will their (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) acceptance mean but life from the dead? |
| Romans 11:16 | If the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) dough offered as first fruits is holy, so also is the (to | τό | nom sg neut) whole lump; and if the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) root is holy, so also are the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) branches. |
| Romans 11:17 | But if some of the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) nourishing root of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) olive tree, |
| Romans 11:18 | do not become arrogant toward the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) branches. But if you do, consider this: it is not you who support the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) root, but the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) root that supports you. |
| Romans 11:20 | That is true. They were broken off because of (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) unbelief, and you stand by (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) faith. Do not be proud, but stand in awe. |
| Romans 11:21 | For if God did not spare the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you either. |
| Romans 11:22 | Consider therefore the kindness and the severity of God — severity to those (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. |
| Romans 11:23 | And even they, if they do not continue in their (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. |
| Romans 11:24 | For if you were cut from what (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the (hoi | οἱ | nom pl masc) natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree? |
