Romanos 11:19 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 11:19

Thou wilt say then
This is an objection which the apostle foresaw the Gentiles would make against what he had said, and in favour of their boasting;

the branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
The sense of which is, that the Jews were rejected and left out of the Gospel church, on purpose to make way for the Gentiles, that they might be put in their room; and consequently the Jews must be more vile and unworthy, and the Gentiles more deserving of such favours and privileges, or God would never have taken such a step, to leave out one to make room for the other.

Romanos 11:19 In-Context

17 Y si algunas de las ramas fueron quebradas, y tú, siendo oliva silvestre, has sido injertado en lugar de ellas, y has sido hecho participante de la raíz y de la grosura de la oliva;

18 no te jactes contra las ramas; y si te jactas, sabe que no sustentas tú a la raíz, sino la raíz a ti.

19 Dirás pues: Las ramas fueron quebradas para que yo fuese injertado.

20 Bien; por su incredulidad fueron quebradas, mas tú por la fe estás en pie. No te ensoberbezcas, antes teme.

21 Que si Dios no perdonó a las ramas naturales, a ti tampoco te perdonará.
