King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
21
For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 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.
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 graffed in: for God is able to graff 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 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
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, 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
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 shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, 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 For this is my covenant unto them, 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, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
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 calling of God are without repentance.
29
for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now 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 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy 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.
