1I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.1Λέγω οὖν μὴ ἀπώσατο Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ μὴ γένοιτο καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ Ἰσραηλίτης εἰμί ἐκ σπέρματος Ἀβραάμ φυλῆς Βενιαμίν
2God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don't you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah--how he appealed to God against Israel:2οὐκ ἀπώσατο Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ὃν προέγνω οὐκ οἴδατε ἐν Ἠλίᾳ τί λέγει γραφή ὡς ἐντυγχάνει τῷ Θεῷ κατὰ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ
3"Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me"?3Κύριε τοὺς προφήτας σου ἀπέκτειναν τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου κατέσκαψαν κἀγὼ ὑπελείφθην μόνος καὶ ζητοῦσιν τὴν ψυχήν μου
4And what was God's answer to him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal."4Ἀλλὰ τί λέγει αὐτῷ χρηματισμός Κατέλιπον ἐμαυτῷ ἑπτακισχιλίους ἄνδρας οἵτινες οὐκ ἔκαμψαν γόνυ τῇ Βάαλ
5So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.5Οὕτως οὖν καὶ ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ λεῖμμα* κατ’ ἐκλογὴν χάριτος γέγονεν
6And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.6εἰ δὲ χάριτι οὐκέτι ἐξ ἔργων ἐπεὶ χάρις οὐκέτι γίνεται χάρις ⧼Εἰ δὲ ἐξ ἔργων οὐκέτι ἐστὶν χάρις ἐπεὶ τὸ ἔργον οὐκέτι ἐστὶν ἔργον⧽
7What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,7Τί οὖν ἐπιζητεῖ Ἰσραήλ τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπέτυχεν δὲ ἐκλογὴ ἐπέτυχεν οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ ἐπωρώθησαν
8as it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day."8καθὼς* γέγραπται Ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς Θεὸς πνεῦμα κατανύξεως ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν καὶ ὦτα τοῦ μὴ ἀκούειν ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας
9And David says: "May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.9Καὶ Δαυὶδ λέγει Γενηθήτω τράπεζα αὐτῶν εἰς παγίδα καὶ εἰς θήραν καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλον καὶ εἰς ἀνταπόδομα αὐτοῖς
10May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever."10σκοτισθήτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν καὶ τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν διὰ παντὸς σύνκαμψον
11Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.11Λέγω οὖν μὴ ἔπταισαν ἵνα πέσωσιν μὴ γένοιτο ἀλλὰ τῷ αὐτῶν παραπτώματι σωτηρία τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εἰς τὸ παραζηλῶσαι αὐτούς
12But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!12εἰ δὲ τὸ παράπτωμα αὐτῶν πλοῦτος κόσμου καὶ τὸ ἥττημα αὐτῶν πλοῦτος ἐθνῶν πόσῳ μᾶλλον τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῶν
13I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry13Ὑμῖν δὲ λέγω τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ἐφ’ ὅσον μὲν οὖν εἰμι ἐγὼ ἐθνῶν ἀπόστολος τὴν διακονίαν μου δοξάζω
14in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.14εἴ πως παραζηλώσω μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ σώσω τινὰς ἐξ αὐτῶν
15For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?15εἰ γὰρ ἀποβολὴ αὐτῶν καταλλαγὴ κόσμου τίς πρόσλημψις εἰ μὴ ζωὴ ἐκ νεκρῶν
16If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.16εἰ δὲ ἀπαρχὴ ἁγία καὶ τὸ φύραμα καὶ εἰ ῥίζα ἁγία καὶ οἱ κλάδοι
17If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,17Εἰ δέ τινες τῶν κλάδων ἐξεκλάσθησαν σὺ δὲ ἀγριέλαιος ὢν ἐνεκεντρίσθης ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ συνκοινωνὸς τῆς ῥίζης τῆς πιότητος τῆς ἐλαίας ἐγένου
18do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.18μὴ κατακαυχῶ τῶν κλάδων εἰ δὲ κατακαυχᾶσαι οὐ σὺ τὴν ῥίζαν βαστάζεις ἀλλὰ ῥίζα σέ
19You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in."19Ἐρεῖς οὖν Ἐξεκλάσθησαν κλάδοι ἵνα ἐγὼ ἐγκεντρισθῶ
20Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.20καλῶς τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ ἐξεκλάσθησαν σὺ δὲ τῇ πίστει ἕστηκας μὴ ὑψηλὰ φρόνει ἀλλὰ φοβοῦ
21For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.21εἰ γὰρ Θεὸς τῶν κατὰ φύσιν κλάδων οὐκ ἐφείσατο [μή πως] οὐδὲ σοῦ φείσεται
22Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.22ἴδε οὖν χρηστότητα καὶ ἀποτομίαν Θεοῦ ἐπὶ μὲν τοὺς πεσόντας ἀποτομία ἐπὶ δὲ σὲ χρηστότης Θεοῦ ἐὰν ἐπιμένῃς τῇ χρηστότητι ἐπεὶ καὶ σὺ ἐκκοπήσῃ
23And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.23κἀκεῖνοι δέ ἐὰν μὴ ἐπιμένωσιν τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ ἐνκεντρισθήσονται δυνατὸς γάρ ἐστιν Θεὸς πάλιν ἐνκεντρίσαι αὐτούς
24After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!24εἰ γὰρ σὺ ἐκ τῆς κατὰ φύσιν ἐξεκόπης ἀγριελαίου καὶ παρὰ φύσιν ἐνεκεντρίσθης εἰς καλλιέλαιον πόσῳ μᾶλλον οὗτοι οἱ κατὰ φύσιν ἐνκεντρισθήσονται τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἐλαίᾳ
25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,25Οὐ γὰρ θέλω ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν ἀδελφοί τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο ἵνα μὴ ἦτε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς φρόνιμοι ὅτι πώρωσις ἀπὸ μέρους τῷ Ἰσραὴλ γέγονεν ἄχρι οὗ τὸ πλήρωμα τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰσέλθῃ
26and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.26καὶ οὕτως πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ σωθήσεται καθὼς γέγραπται Ἥξει ἐκ Σιὼν Ῥυόμενος ἀποστρέψει ἀσεβείας ἀπὸ Ἰακώβ
27And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins."27καὶ αὕτη αὐτοῖς παρ’ ἐμοῦ διαθήκη ὅταν ἀφέλωμαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν
28As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,28Κατὰ μὲν τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἐχθροὶ δι’ ὑμᾶς κατὰ δὲ τὴν ἐκλογὴν ἀγαπητοὶ διὰ τοὺς πατέρας
29for God's gifts and his call are irrevocable.29ἀμεταμέλητα γὰρ τὰ χαρίσματα καὶ κλῆσις τοῦ Θεοῦ
30Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,30Ὥσπερ γὰρ ὑμεῖς ποτε ἠπειθήσατε τῷ Θεῷ νῦν δὲ ἠλεήθητε τῇ τούτων ἀπειθείᾳ
31so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God's mercy to you.31οὕτως καὶ οὗτοι νῦν ἠπείθησαν τῷ ὑμετέρῳ ἐλέει ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ νῦν ἐλεηθῶσιν
32For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.32συνέκλεισεν γὰρ Θεὸς τοὺς πάντας εἰς ἀπείθειαν ἵνα τοὺς πάντας ἐλεήσῃ
33Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!33 βάθος πλούτου καὶ σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως Θεοῦ ὡς ἀνεξεραύνητα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστοι αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ
34"Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?"34Τίς γὰρ ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο
35"Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?"35 τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ
36For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.36ὅτι ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ δι’ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα αὐτῷ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας ἀμήν
