Romans 11:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 So I ask, "Did God force his people to leave him?" Of course not. I myself am an Israelite. I am from the family of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God chose the Israelites to be his people before they were born. And he did not force them to leave. Surely you know what the Scriptures say about Elijah. The Scriptures tell about Elijah praying to God against the people of Israel. He said,
3 "Lord, they have killed your prophets and destroyed your altars. I am the only prophet still living, and they are trying to kill me now."
4 But what answer did God give to Elijah? God said, "I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have never given worship to Baal. "
5 It is the same now. God has chosen a few people by his grace.
6 And if he chose them by grace, then it is not what they have done that made them his people. If they could be made his people by what they did, his gift of grace would not really be a gift.
7 So this is what has happened: The people of Israel wanted God's blessing, but they did not all get it. The people he chose did get his blessing, but the others became hard and refused to listen to him.
8 As the Scriptures say, "God caused the people to fall asleep." "God closed their eyes so that they could not see, and he closed their ears so that they could not hear. This continues until now."
9 And David says, "Let those people be caught and trapped at their own feasts. Let them fall and be punished.
10 Let their eyes be closed so that they cannot see. And let them be troubled forever."
11 So I ask: When the Jews fell, did that fall destroy them? No! But their mistake brought salvation to those who are not Jews. The purpose of this was to make the Jews jealous.
12 Their mistake brought rich blessings to the world. And what they lost brought rich blessings to the non-Jewish people. So surely the world will get much richer blessings when enough Jews become the kind of people God wants.
13 Now I am speaking to you people who are not Jews. I am an apostle to the non- Jewish people. So while I have that work, I will do the best I can.
14 I hope I can make my own people jealous. That way, maybe I can help some of them to be saved.
15 God turned away from the Jews. When that happened, he became friends with the other people in the world. So when he accepts the Jews, it will be like bringing people to life after death.
16 If the first piece of bread is offered to God, then the whole loaf is made holy. If the roots of a tree are holy, the tree's branches are holy too.
17 It is as if some of the branches from an olive tree have been broken off, and the branch of a wild olive tree has been joined to that first tree. If you are not a Jew, you are the same as that wild branch, and you now share the strength and life of the first tree.
18 But don't act as if you are better than those branches that were broken off. You have no reason to be proud of yourself, because you don't give life to the root. The root gives life to you.
19 You might say, "Branches were broken off so that I could be joined to their tree."
20 That is true. But those branches were broken off because they did not believe. And you continue to be part of the tree only because you believe. Don't be proud, but be afraid.
21 If God did not let the natural branches of that tree stay, he will not let you stay if you stop believing.
22 So you see that God is kind, but he can also be very strict. He punishes those who stop following him. But he is kind to you, if you continue trusting in his kindness. If you don't continue depending on him, you will be cut off from the tree.
23 And if the Jews will believe in God again, he will accept them back. He is able to put them back where they were.
24 It is not natural for a wild branch to become part of a good tree. But you non-Jewish people are like a branch cut from a wild olive tree. And you were joined to a good olive tree. But those Jews are like a branch that grew from the good tree. So surely they can be joined to their own tree again.
25 I want you to understand this secret truth, brothers and sisters. This truth will help you understand that you don't know everything. The truth is this: Part of Israel has been made stubborn, but that will change when enough non-Jewish people have come to God.
26 And that is how all Israel will be saved. The Scriptures say, "The Savior will come from Zion; he will take away all evil from the family of Jacob.
27 And I will make this agreement with those people when I take away their sins."
28 The Jews refuse to accept the Good News, so they are God's enemies. This has happened to help you who are not Jews. But they are still God's chosen people, and he loves them because of the promises he made to their ancestors.
29 God never changes his mind about the people he calls. He never decides to take back the blessings he has given them.
30 At one time you refused to obey God. But now you have received mercy, because the Jews refused to obey.
31 And now they are the ones who refuse to obey, because God showed mercy to you. But this happened so that they can also receive mercy from him.
32 All people have refused to obey God. And he has put them all together as people who don't obey him so that he can show mercy to everyone.
33 Yes, God's riches are very great! His wisdom and knowledge have no end! No one can explain what God decides. No one can understand his ways.
34 As the Scriptures say, "Who can know what is on the Lord's mind? Who is able to give him advice?"
35 "Who has ever given God anything? God owes nothing to anyone."
36 Yes, God made all things. And everything continues through him and for him. To God be the glory forever! Amen.
1 I say G3004 then, G3767 Hath G3361 God G2316 cast away G683 his G848 people G2992 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 . For G1063 I G1473 also G2532 am G1510 an Israelite, G2475 of G1537 the seed G4690 of Abraham, G11 of the tribe G5443 of Benjamin. G958
2 God G2316 hath not G3756 cast away G683 his G848 people G2992 which G3739 he foreknew G4267 G2228 . Wot G1492 ye not G3756 what G5101 the G3588 Scripture G1124 saith G3004 of G1722 Elijah G2243 ? how G5613 he maketh intercession G1793 to God G2316 against G2596 Israel, G2474 saying, G3004
3 Lord G2962 , they have killed G615 thy G4675 prophets, G4396 and G2532 digged down G2679 thine G4675 altars; G2379 and I G2504 am left G5275 alone, G3441 and G2532 they seek G2212 my G3450 life. G5590
4 But G235 what G5101 saith G3004 the G3588 answer of God G5538 unto him G846 ? I have reserved G2641 to myself G1683 seven thousand G2035 men, G435 who G3748 have not G3756 bowed G2578 the knee G1119 to the image of Baal. G896
5 Even so G3779 then G3767 at G1722 this present G3568 time G2540 also G2532 there is G1096 a remnant G3005 according G2596 to the election G1589 of grace. G5485
6 And G1161 if G1487 by grace, G5485 then is it no more G3765 of G1537 works: G2041 otherwise G1893 grace G5485 is G1096 no more G3765 grace. G5485 But G1161 if G1487 it be of G1537 works, G2041 then is G2076 it no more G3765 grace: G5485 otherwise G1893 work G2041 is G2076 no more G3765 work. G2041
7 What G5101 then G3767 ? Israel G2474 hath G5127 not G3756 obtained G2013 that which G3739 he seeketh for; G1934 but G1161 the G3588 election G1589 hath obtained G2013 it, and G1161 the G3588 rest G3062 were blinded. G4456
8 (According as G2531 it is written, G1125 God G2316 hath given G1325 them G846 the spirit G4151 of slumber, G2659 eyes G3788 that they should not G3361 see, G991 and G2532 ears G3775 that they should not G3361 hear; G191 ) unto G2193 this G4594 day. G2250
9 And G2532 David G1138 saith, G3004 Let their G848 table G5132 be made G1096 a G1519 snare, G3803 and G2532 a G1519 trap, G2339 and G2532 a G1519 stumblingblock, G4625 and G2532 a G1519 recompense G468 unto them: G846
10 Let their G848 eyes G3788 be darkened, G4654 that they may not G3361 see, G991 and G2532 bow down G4781 their G848 back G3577 always. G1275
11 I say G3004 then, G3767 Have they G3361 stumbled G4417 that G2443 they should fall G4098 ? God forbid G1096 G3361 : but G235 rather through their G848 fall G3900 salvation G4991 is come unto the G3588 Gentiles, G1484 for to provoke them to jealousy G3863 G846 .
12 Now G1161 if G1487 the G3588 fall G3900 of them G848 be the riches G4149 of the world, G2889 and G2532 the G3588 diminishing G2275 of them G848 the riches G4149 of the Gentiles; G1484 how much G4214 more G3123 their G848 fullness G4138 ?
13 For G1063 I speak G3004 to you G5213 Gentiles, G1484 inasmuch as G1909 G3745 G3303 I G1473 am G1510 the apostle G652 of the Gentiles, G1484 I magnify G1392 mine G3450 office: G1248
14 If by any means G1513 I may provoke to emulation G3863 them which are my G3450 flesh, G4561 and G2532 might save G4982 some G5100 of G1537 them. G846
15 For G1063 if G1487 the G3588 casting away G580 of them G846 be the reconciling G2643 of the world, G2889 what G5101 shall the G3588 receiving G4356 of them be, but G1508 life G2222 from G1537 the dead G3498 ?
16 For G1161 if G1487 the G3588 firstfruit G536 be holy, G40 the G3588 lump G5445 is also G2532 holy : and G2532 if G1487 the G3588 root G4491 be holy, G40 so G2532 are the G3588 branches. G2798
17 And G1161 if G1487 some G5100 of the G3588 branches G2798 be broken off, G1575 and G1161 thou, G4771 being G5607 a wild olive tree, G65 wert grafted in G1461 among G1722 them, G846 and G2532 with them G1096 partakest G4791 of the G3588 root G4491 and G2532 fatness G4096 of the G3588 olive tree; G1636
18 Boast not against G2620 G3361 the G3588 branches. G2798 But G1161 if G1487 thou boast, G2620 thou G4771 bearest G941 not G3756 the G3588 root, G4491 but G235 the G3588 root G4491 thee. G4571
19 Thou wilt say G2046 then, G3767 The G3588 branches G2798 were broken off, G1575 that G2443 I G1473 might be grafted in. G1461
20 Well G2573 ; because of unbelief G570 they were broken off, G1575 and G1161 thou G4771 standest G2476 by faith. G4102 Be not highminded G5309 G3361 , but G235 fear: G5399
21 For G1063 if G1487 God G2316 spared G5339 not G3756 the G3588 natural G2596 G5449 branches, G2798 take heed lest G3381 he also spare G5339 not G3761 thee. G4675
22 Behold G1492 therefore G3767 the goodness G5544 and G2532 severity G663 of God: G2316 on G1909 G3303 them which fell, G4098 severity; G663 but G1161 toward G1909 thee, G4571 goodness, G5544 if G1437 thou continue in G1961 his goodness: G5544 otherwise G1893 thou G4771 also G2532 shalt be cut off. G1581
23 And G1161 they G1565 also, G2532 if they abide not G3362 G1961 still in unbelief, G570 shall be grafted in: G1461 for G1063 God G2316 is G2076 able G1415 to graft them in G1461 G846 again. G3825
24 For G1063 if G1487 thou G4771 wert cut G1581 out G1537 of the G3588 olive tree which is wild G65 by G2596 nature, G5449 and G2532 wert grafted G1461 contrary G3844 to nature G5449 into G1519 a good olive tree: G2565 how much G4214 more G3123 shall these, G3778 which G3588 be the natural G2596 G5449 branches, be grafted into G1461 their own G2398 olive tree G1636 ?
25 For G1063 I would G2309 not, G3756 brethren, G80 that ye G5209 should be ignorant G50 of this G5124 mystery, G3466 lest G3363 ye should be G5600 wise G5429 in G3844 your own conceits; G1438 that G3754 blindness G4457 in G575 part G3313 is happened G1096 to Israel, G2474 until G891 G3757 the G3588 fullness G4138 of the G3588 Gentiles G1484 be come in. G1525
26 And G2532 so G3779 all G3956 Israel G2474 shall be saved: G4982 as G2531 it is written, G1125 There shall come G2240 out of G1537 Zion G4622 the G3588 Deliverer, G4506 and G2532 shall turn away G654 ungodliness G763 from G575 Jacob: G2384
27 For G2532 this G3778 is G3844 my G1700 covenant G1242 unto them, G846 when G3752 I shall take away G851 their G848 sins. G266
28 As concerning G2596 G3303 the G3588 gospel, G2098 they are enemies G2190 for your sakes G1223: G5209 but G1161 as touching G2596 the G3588 election, G1589 they are beloved G27 for the fathers' sakes G1223 G3588. G3962
29 For G1063 the G3588 gifts G5486 and G2532 calling G2821 of God G2316 are without repentance. G278
30 For G1063 as G5618 ye G5210 in times past G4218 have G2532 not believed G544 God, G2316 yet G1161 have now G3568 obtained mercy G1653 through their G5130 unbelief: G543
31 Even so G3779 have these G3778 also G2532 now G3568 not believed, G544 that G2443 through your G5212 mercy G1656 they G846 also G2532 may obtain mercy. G1653
32 For G1063 God G2316 hath concluded G4788 them all G3956 in G1519 unbelief, G543 that G2443 he might have mercy G1653 upon all. G3956
33 O G5599 the depth G899 of the riches G4149 both G2532 of the wisdom G4678 and G2532 knowledge G1108 of God G2316 ! how G5613 unsearchable G419 are his G848 judgments, G2917 and G2532 his G848 ways G3598 past finding out G421 !
34 For G1063 who G5101 hath known G1097 the mind G3563 of the Lord G2962 ? or G2228 who G5101 hath been G1096 his G848 counselor G4825 ?
35 Or G2228 who G5101 hath first given G4272 to him, G846 and G2532 it shall be recompensed G467 unto him G846 again?
36 For G3754 of G1537 him, G846 and G2532 through G1223 him, G846 and G2532 to G1519 him, G846 are all things: G3956 to whom G846 be glory G1391 forever G1519 G165 . Amen. G281
