Chapter — Douay-Rheims

Romans 11

2.

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias, how he calleth on God against Israel?

3.

Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have dug down thy altars. And I am left alone: and they seek my life.

4.

But what saith the divine answer to him? I have left me seven thousand men that have not bowed their knees to Baal.

5.

Even so then, at this present time also, there is a remnant saved according to the election of grace.

7.

What then? That which Israel sought, he hath not obtained: but the election hath obtained it. And the rest have been blinded.

8.

As it is written: God hath given them the spirit of insensibility; eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, until this present day.

9.

And David saith: Let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense unto them.

10.

Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see: and bow down their back always.

11.

I say then: Have they so stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid! But by their offence salvation is come to the Gentiles, that they may be emulous of them.

14.

If, by any means, I may provoke to emulation them who are my flesh and may save some of them.

15.

For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

17.

And if some of the branches be broken and thou, being a wild olive, art ingrafted in them and art made partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree:

18.

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root: but the root thee.

21.

For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps also he spare not thee.

23.

And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

24.

For if thou were cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, wert grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall they that are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

25.

For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery (lest you should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.

26.

And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

27.

And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.

28.

As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.

30.

For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief:

31.

So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.

32.

For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
