Let
their eyes be
darkened, that
they may not see, and bow down
their back
alway.
May
their eyes be
darkened so
they cannot see, and
their backs be bent
forever.”
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.
I ask
then, did
they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of
their trespass, salvation has come to
the Gentiles to make Israel
jealous.
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?
But if
their trespass means riches for
the world, and
their failure means riches for
the Gentiles, how much greater riches will
their fullness bring!
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am
the apostle of
the Gentiles, I
magnify mine office:
I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am
the apostle to
the Gentiles, I
magnify my ministry
If by any means I may
provoke to
emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of
them.
in
the hope that I may
provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of
them.
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?
For if
the firstfruit be holy,
the lump is also holy: and if
the root be holy, so are
the branches.
If
the first part of
the dough is holy, so is
the whole
batch; if
the root is holy, so are
the branches.
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 of
the olive tree;
Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been
grafted in among
the others to share in
the nourishment of
the olive root,
Boast not against
the branches. But if thou
boast, thou bearest not
the root, but
the root
thee.
do not
boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support
the root, but
the root supports you.
Thou
wilt say
then,
The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
You will say
then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be
grafted in.”
Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
That is correct:
They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be
arrogant, but be afraid.
For if God
spared not
the natural branches, take
heed lest he also
spare not
thee.
For if God did not
spare the natural branches, He will certainly not
spare you either.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
And
they also, if
they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to
graff them in again.
And if
they do not
persist in unbelief,
they will be
grafted in, for God is able to
graft them in again.
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?
For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were
grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will
these,
the natural branches, be
grafted into
their own olive tree!
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.
I do not want you to be ignorant of this
mystery, brothers, so that you will not be
conceited: A
hardening in part has come to Israel, until
the full number of
the Gentiles has come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written,
There shall come out of
Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away
ungodliness from Jacob:
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “
The Deliverer will come from
Zion; He will remove
godlessness from Jacob.
For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.
For
the gifts and calling of God are without
repentance.
For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
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!
O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
“Who has known
the mind of
the Lord? Or who has been His
counselor?”
For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever.
Amen.
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be
the glory
forever!
Amen.
I
beseech you
therefore, brethren, by
the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Therefore I
urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.
And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by
the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and
approve what is
the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
For I say, through
the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think
soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man
the measure of faith.
For by
the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of
yourself more highly than you ought, but think of
yourself with
sober judgment, according to
the measure of faith God has given you.
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and not all members have the same function,
Having
then gifts differing according to
the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us
prophesy according to
the proportion of faith;
We have different gifts according to the grace given us. If one’s gift is prophecy, let him use it in proportion to his faith;
Do not let your zeal
subside; keep your spiritual
fervor, serving
the Lord.
Distributing to
the necessity of saints; given to
hospitality.
Share with
the saints who are in need. Practice
hospitality.
Be of
the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but enjoy
the company of
the lowly. Do not be
conceited.
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things
honest in
the sight of all men.
Do not repay
anyone evil for evil. Carefully consider what is right in
the eyes of
everybody.
Do not
avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “
Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says
the Lord.”
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he
thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt
heap coals of fire on his head.
On
the contrary, “If your enemy is
hungry, feed him; if he is
thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will
heap burning coals on his head.”
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Everyone must submit himself to
the governing authorities, for
there is no authority except that which is from God.
The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.
Consequently,
whoever resists authority is
opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on
themselves.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to
the evil.
Wilt thou
then not be afraid of
the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of
the same:
For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of
the one in authority?
Then do what is right, and you will have his
approval.
For he is
the minister of God to
thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not
the sword in vain: for he is
the minister of God, a
revenger to
execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry
the sword in vain. He is God’s servant, an agent of
retribution to
the wrongdoer.
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Therefore it is necessary to submit to authority, not only to avoid punishment, but also as a matter of conscience.
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
This is also why you pay taxes. For
the authorities are God’s servants, who
devote themselves to
their work.
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Pay
everyone what you owe him: taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his
neighbor has fulfilled
the law.
For this, Thou shalt not commit
adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not
steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not
covet; and if
there be any other commandment, it is briefly
comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself.
Love worketh no ill to his neighbour:
therefore love is
the fulfilling of
the law.
And that, knowing
the time, that now it is high time to
awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
And do this, understanding
the occasion.
The hour has come for you to
wake up from your
slumber, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
The night is nearly over;
the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside
the deeds of darkness and put on
the armor of light.
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Instead,
clothe yourselves with
the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for
the desires of
the flesh.
Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.
Let not him that eateth
despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
The one who eats everything must not
belittle the one who does not, and
the one who does not eat everything must not judge
the one who does, for God has accepted him.
Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth.
Yea, he shall be
holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
One person regards a certain day above
the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully
convinced in his own mind.
He that regardeth
the day, regardeth it unto
the Lord; and he that regardeth not
the day, to
the Lord he
doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to
the Lord, for he giveth God
thanks; and he that eateth not, to
the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God
thanks.
He who observes a special day does so to
the Lord; he who eats does so to
the Lord, for he gives
thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to
the Lord and gives
thanks to God.
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.
For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
For this reason Christ died and returned to life, that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
But why
dost thou judge thy brother? or why
dost thou set at
nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before
the judgment seat of Christ.
Why,
then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you
belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.
For it is written, As I live, saith
the Lord, every
knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall
confess to God.
It is written: “As surely as I live, says
the Lord, every
knee will bow before Me; every tongue will
confess to God.”
So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way.
Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any
stumbling block or
obstacle in your brother’s way.
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
I am
convinced and fully persuaded in
the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself. But if
anyone regards something as unclean,
then for him it is unclean.
Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Do not allow what you consider good, then, to be spoken of as evil.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
For
whoever serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men.
Let us
therefore follow after
the things which make for peace, and things
wherewith one may
edify another.
So
then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual
edification.
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Do not destroy
the work of God for
the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a man to let his eating be a
stumbling block.
Hast thou faith? have it to
thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Keep your belief about such matters between
yourself and God. Blessed is
the one who does not
condemn himself by what he approves.
And he that doubteth is
damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for
whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.
We
then that are strong ought to bear
the infirmities of
the weak, and not to please ourselves.
We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “
The insults of those who
insult You have fallen on Me.”
For
whatsoever things were written
aforetime were written for our learning, that we through
patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope.
For everything that was written in
the past was written for our instruction, so that through
endurance and
the encouragement of
the Scriptures, we might have hope.
Now
the God of
patience and
consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Now may
the God who gives
endurance and encouragement grant you harmony with one another in Christ Jesus,
That ye may with one mind and one mouth
glorify God, even
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
so that with one mind and one voice you may
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God.
Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of
the circumcision for
the truth of God, to
confirm the promises made unto
the fathers:
For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of
the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to
confirm the promises made to
the patriarchs,
And that
the Gentiles might
glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will
confess to
thee among
the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
so that
the Gentiles may
glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: “
Therefore I will praise You among
the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to Your name.”
And again, Praise
the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and
laud him, all ye people.
And again: “Praise
the Lord, all you Gentiles, and
extol Him, all you peoples.”
And again, Esaias saith,
There shall be a root of
Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over
the Gentiles; in him shall
the Gentiles trust.
And once more, Isaiah says: “
The Root of
Jesse will appear, One who will arise to rule over
the Gentiles; in Him
the Gentiles will put
their hope.”
Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
However, I have written you a bold reminder on some points, because of the grace God has given me
That I should be
the minister of Jesus Christ to
the Gentiles, ministering
the gospel of God, that
the offering up of
the Gentiles might be acceptable, being
sanctified by
the Holy Ghost.
to be a minister of Christ Jesus to
the Gentiles in
the priestly service of
the gospel of God, so that
the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God,
sanctified by
the Holy Spirit.
I have
therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which
pertain to God.
Therefore I
exult in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
For I will not
dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make
the Gentiles
obedient, by word and deed,
I will not
presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading
the Gentiles to obedience by word and deed,
Through mighty signs and wonders, by
the power of
the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto
Illyricum, I have fully preached
the gospel of Christ.
by
the power of signs and wonders, and by
the power of
the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all
the way around to
Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed
the gospel of Christ.
Yea, so have I
strived to
preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:
In this way I have
aspired to
preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.
But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”
But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
But now that
there are no further
opportunities for me in
these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,
But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
For it hath pleased
them of
Macedonia and
Achaia to make a certain contribution for
the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
For
Macedonia and
Achaia were pleased to make a contribution for
the poor among
the saints in Jerusalem.
It hath pleased
them verily; and
their debtors
they are. For if
the Gentiles have been made partakers of
their spiritual things,
their duty is also to minister unto
them in
carnal things.
They were pleased to do it, and indeed
they owe it to
them. For if
the Gentiles have shared in
their spiritual blessings,
they are
obligated to minister to
them with material blessings.
When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this
bounty to
them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in
the fulness of
the blessing of
the gospel of Christ.
I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
Now I
beseech you, brethren, for
the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, and for
the love of
the Spirit, that ye
strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
Now I
urge you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by
the love of
the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me.
That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
Pray that I may be delivered from
the unbelievers in
Judea, and that my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to
the saints
there,
That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
so that by God’s will I may come to you with joy and together with you be refreshed.
Now
the God of peace be with you all.
Amen.
The God of peace be with all of you.
Amen.
