New International Version NIV
19 Thou wilt say then: The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.
19
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20 Well: because of unbelief they were broken off. But thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear.
20
Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
21 For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps also he spare not thee.
21
For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 See then the goodness and the severity of God: towards them indeed that are fallen, the severity; but towards thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness. Otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
22
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
23
And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou were cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, wert grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall they that are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?
24
After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery (lest you should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in.
25
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
26 And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
26
and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins.
27
And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
28 As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers.
28
As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.
29
for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
30 For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief:
30
Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
31 So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy.
31
so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you.
32 For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all.
32
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
33 O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways!
33
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor?
34
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
35 Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?
35
“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?”
36 For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.
36
For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
