1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people

A ⟨people, which he foreknew⟩

? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

1 Dico ergo: Numquid Deus repulit populum suum? Absit. Nam et ego Israëlita sum ex semine Abraham, de tribu Benjamin:

2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

BA omit

2 non repulit Deus plebem suam, quam præscivit. An nescitis in Elia quid dicit Scriptura? quemadmodum interpellat Deum adversum Israël:

3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and

ℵBA omit

digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

3 Domine, prophetas tuos occiderunt, altaria tua suffoderunt: et ego relictus sum solus, et quærunt animam meam.

4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

4 Sed quid dicit illi divinum responsum? Reliqui mihi septem millia virorum, qui non curvaverunt genua ante Baal.

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

5 Sic ergo et in hoc tempore reliquiæ secundum electionem gratiæ salvæ factæ sunt.

6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more

ℵA omit

work

ℵA omit; B ⟨grace⟩

.

6 Si autem gratia, jam non ex operibus: alioquin gratia jam non est gratia.

7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

7 Quid ergo? Quod quærebat Israël, hoc non est consecutus: electio autem consecuta est: ceteri vero excæcati sunt:

8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

8 sicut scriptum est: Dedit illis Deus spiritum compunctionis: oculos ut non videant, et aures ut non audiant, usque in hodiernum diem.

9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

9 Et David dicit: Fiat mensa eorum in laqueum, et in captionem, et in scandalum, et in retributionem illis.

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

10 Obscurentur oculi eorum ne videant: et dorsum eorum semper incurva.

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

11 ¶ Dico ergo: Numquid sic offenderunt ut caderent? Absit. Sed illorum delicto, salus est gentibus ut illos æmulentur.

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

A omit

12 Quod si delictum illorum divitiæ sunt mundi, et diminutio eorum divitiæ gentium: quanto magis plenitudo eorum?

13 For

ℵBA ⟨Now⟩

I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch

ℵBA ⟨therefore inasmuch⟩

as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

13 Vobis enim dico gentibus: Quamdiu quidem ego sum gentium Apostolus, ministerium meum honorificabo,

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

14 si quomodo ad æmulandum provocem carnem meam, et salvos faciam aliquos ex illis.

15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

15 Si enim amissio eorum, reconciliatio est mundi: quæ assumptio, nisi vita ex mortuis?

16 For

ℵB ⟨But⟩

if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

16 Quod si delibatio sancta est, et massa: et si radix sancta, et rami.

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness

ℵB ⟨root, of the fatness⟩

of the olive tree;

17 Quod si aliqui ex ramis fracti sunt, tu autem cum oleaster esses, insertus es in illis, et socius radicis, et pinguedinis olivæ factus es,

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

18 noli gloriari adversus ramos. Quod si gloriaris: non tu radicem portas, sed radix te.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches

ℵBA ⟨Branches⟩

were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

19 Dices ergo: Fracti sunt rami ut ego inserar.

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

20 Bene: propter incredulitatem fracti sunt. Tu autem fide stas: noli altum sapere, sed time.

21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not

ℵBA ⟨neither will he spare⟩

thee.

21 Si enim Deus naturalibus ramis non pepercit: ne forte nec tibi parcat.

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness

ℵBA ⟨God's goodness⟩

, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

22 Vide ergo bonitatem, et severitatem Dei: in eos quidem qui ceciderunt, severitatem: in te autem bonitatem Dei, si permanseris in bonitate, alioquin et tu excideris.

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

23 Sed et illi, si non permanserint in incredulitate, inserentur: potens est enim Deus iterum inserere illos.

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

24 Nam si tu ex naturali excisus es oleastro, et contra naturam insertus es in bonam olivam: quanto magis ii qui secundum naturam inserentur suæ olivæ?

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

25 ¶ Nolo enim vos ignorare, fratres, mysterium hoc (ut non sitis vobis ipsis sapientes), quia cæcitas ex parte contigit in Israël, donec plenitudo gentium intraret,

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and

ℵBA ⟨he⟩

shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

26 et sic omnis Israël salvus fieret, sicut scriptum est: Veniet ex Sion, qui eripiat, et avertat impietatem a Jacob.

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

27 Et hoc illis a me testamentum: cum abstulero peccata eorum.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.

28 Secundum Evangelium quidem, inimici propter vos: secundum electionem autem, carissimi propter patres.

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

29 Sine pœnitentia enim sunt dona et vocatio Dei.

30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

30 Sicut enim aliquando et vos non credidistis Deo, nunc autem misericordiam consecuti estis propter incredulitatem illorum:

31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may

ℵB ⟨may now⟩

obtain mercy.

31 ita et isti nunc non crediderunt in vestram misericordiam: ut et ipsi misericordiam consequantur.

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

32 Conclusit enim Deus omnia in incredulitate, ut omnium misereatur.

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

33 ¶ O altitudo divitiarum sapientiæ, et scientiæ Dei: quam incomprehensibilia sunt judicia ejus, et investigabiles viæ ejus!

34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

34 Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini? aut quis consiliarius ejus fuit?

35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

35 aut quis prior dedit illi, et retribuetur ei?

36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

36 Quoniam ex ipso, et per ipsum, et in ipso sunt omnia: ipsi gloria in sæcula. Amen.
