Romans 11 :: Darby Translation (DBY)

Rom 11:1I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For *I* also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Rom 11:2God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in the history of Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?
Rom 11:3Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and *I* have been left alone, and they seek my life.
Rom 11:4But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.
Rom 11:5Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.
Rom 11:6But if by grace, no longer of works: since otherwise grace is no more grace.
Rom 11:7What is it then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,
Rom 11:8according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.
Rom 11:9And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:
Rom 11:10let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.
Rom 11:11I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall there is salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.
Rom 11:12But if their fall be the world's wealth, and their loss the wealth of the nations, how much rather their fulness?
Rom 11:13For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;
Rom 11:14if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy them which are my flesh, and shall save some from among them.
Rom 11:15For if their casting away be the world's reconciliation, what their reception but life from among the dead?
Rom 11:16Now if the first-fruit be holy, the lump also; and if the root be holy, the branches also.
Rom 11:17Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and *thou*, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,
Rom 11:18boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, it is not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee.
Rom 11:19Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.
Rom 11:20Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and *thou* standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
Rom 11:21if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.
Rom 11:22Behold then the goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since otherwise *thou* also wilt be cut away.
Rom 11:23And *they* too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.
Rom 11:24For if *thou* hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?
Rom 11:25For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;
Rom 11:26and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Rom 11:27And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.
Rom 11:28As regards the glad tidings, they are enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.
Rom 11:29For the gifts and the calling of God are not subject to repentance.
Rom 11:30For as indeed *ye* also once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*;
Rom 11:31so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of mercy.
Rom 11:32For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.
Rom 11:33O depth of riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!
Rom 11:34For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counsellor?
Rom 11:35or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?
Rom 11:36For of him, and through him, and for him are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

In 1867, John Nelson Darby translated the New Testament from Greek into English. Further revisions were done in 1872 and 1884. Darby’s work was first published as The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby. After Darby’s death in 1882, some of his students worked together to produce the complete Darby Bible based on the Masoretic Hebrew text, Darby’s German (Elberfelder), and the French (Pau) translations. In 1890, the first complete Darby Bible was published in English. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.
