Romans 11

I ask then, Did Allah reject his people? Astaghfirullah! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Ibrahim, of the tribe of Binyamin. ²Allah did not reject his people,[1] which he foreknew. Or don't you know what Al-Kitab says about Ilyas? How he pleads with Allah against Israel: ³"Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have broken down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life."[2] ⁴How does Allah answer him? "I have reserved for myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal." [3] ⁵Even so at the present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. ⁶And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

⁷What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn't obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened. ⁸Just as it is written,

"Allah gave them a spirit of stupor,[4]

Eyes that they should not see,

And ears that they should not hear, to this day."[5]

⁹Dawud says,

"Let their table become a snare, and a trap,

A stumbling block, and a retribution for them.

¹⁰Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see.

Let their backs be bent forever."[6]

¹¹I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? Astaghfirullah! But by their fall salvation has come to the nations, to provoke the Jews to jealousy. ¹²Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the nations; how much more their fullness? ¹³For I speak to you who are non-Jews. Since then as I am an apostle to non-Jews, I glorify my ministry; ¹⁴if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them. ¹⁵For if the rejection of the Jews is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead? ¹⁶If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches. ¹⁷But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree; ¹⁸do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you. ¹⁹You will say then, "Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." ²⁰True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; ²¹for if Allah did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. ²²See then the goodness and severity of Allah. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off. ²³They also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for Allah is able to graft them in again. ²⁴For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? ²⁵For I do not desire, brothers,[7] to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you not be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the nations has come in, ²⁶and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written,

"The Deliverer will come from Al-Quds,

And he will turn away ungodliness from Yaqub.

²⁷This is my covenant to them,

When I will take away their sins."[8]

²⁸Concerning the Injil, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake. ²⁹For the gifts and the calling of Allah are irrevocable. ³⁰For as you in time past were disobedient to Allah, but now have obtained mercy by the disobedience of the Jews, ³¹even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy. ³²For Allah has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
³³Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of Allah! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!

³⁴For,

"Who has known the mind of Allah,

Or who has been his counsellor?"[9]

³⁵"Or who has first given to him,

That it will be repaid to him again?"[10]

³⁶For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
