00:00.000 --> 00:01.300
Chapter 11.

00:02.480 --> 00:05.920
I say then, hath God cast away his people?

00:06.420 --> 00:07.300
God forbid.

00:08.040 --> 00:13.920
For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of
Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

00:14.480 --> 00:17.800
God hath not cast away his people,
which he foreknew.

00:18.600 --> 00:23.820
Watch ye not what the scripture saith of
Elias, how he maketh intercession to God

00:23.820 --> 00:29.360
against Israel, saying, Lord, they have
killed thy prophets, and digged down thine

00:29.360 --> 00:32.860
altars, and I am left alone, and they seek
my life.

00:33.400 --> 00:35.500
But what saith the answer of God unto him?

00:36.240 --> 00:42.320
I have reserved to myself seven thousand
men, who have not bowed the knee to the

00:42.320 --> 00:43.260
image of Beal.

00:44.080 --> 00:48.840
Even so then, at this present time,
also, there is a remnant according to the

00:48.840 --> 00:49.740
election of grace.

00:50.220 --> 00:53.180
And if by grace, then is it no more of
works?

00:53.180 --> 00:55.380
Otherwise, grace is no more grace.

00:55.740 --> 00:59.040
But if it be of works, then is it no more
grace?

00:59.540 --> 01:01.960
Otherwise, work is no more work.

01:02.920 --> 01:03.340
What then?

01:03.860 --> 01:08.520
Israel hath not obtained that which he
seeketh for, but the election hath

01:08.520 --> 01:10.720
obtained it, and the rest were blinded.

01:11.360 --> 01:16.320
According as it is written, God hath given
them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they

01:16.320 --> 01:20.340
should not see, and ears that they should
not hear, unto this day.

01:21.000 --> 01:27.360
And David saith, Let their table be made a
snare, and a trap, and a stumbling block,

01:27.840 --> 01:29.460
and a recompense unto them.

01:30.180 --> 01:35.900
Let their eyes be darkened, that they may
not see, and bow down their back always.

01:36.800 --> 01:40.080
I say then, have they stumbled that they
should fall?

01:40.700 --> 01:41.320
God forbid.

01:41.960 --> 01:46.200
But rather, through their fall,
salvation is come unto the Gentiles,

01:46.600 --> 01:48.220
for to provoke them to jealousy.

01:48.780 --> 01:54.240
Now, if the fall of them be the riches of
the world, and the diminishing of them the

01:54.240 --> 01:57.700
riches of the Gentiles, how much more
their fullness.

01:58.620 --> 02:02.760
For I speak to you, Gentiles, inasmuch as
I am the apostle of the Gentiles,

02:03.000 --> 02:04.940
I magnify mine office.

02:05.520 --> 02:11.540
If by any means I may provoke to emulation
them which are my flesh, and might save

02:11.540 --> 02:12.100
some of them.

02:12.660 --> 02:17.700
For if the casting away of them be the
reconciling of the world, what shall the

02:17.700 --> 02:18.760
receiving of them be?

02:19.200 --> 02:20.920
But life from the dead.

02:21.800 --> 02:25.740
For if the first fruit be holy,
the lump is also holy.

02:26.380 --> 02:29.040
And if the root be holy, so are the
branches.

02:29.820 --> 02:34.640
And if some of the branches be broken off,
and thou, being a wild olive tree,

02:34.960 --> 02:39.920
wert grafted in among them, and with them
partakest of the root and fatness of the

02:39.920 --> 02:42.800
olive tree, boast not against the
branches.

02:43.220 --> 02:47.900
But if thou boast, thou bearest not the
root, but the root thee.

02:48.400 --> 02:52.640
Thou wilt say then, the branches were
broken off, that I might be grafted in.

02:53.020 --> 02:57.480
Well, because of unbelief they were broken
off, and thou standest by faith.

02:58.040 --> 03:00.280
Be not high-minded, but fear.

03:00.860 --> 03:05.260
For if God spared not the natural
branches, take heed, lest he also spare

03:05.260 --> 03:05.760
not thee.

03:06.720 --> 03:10.080
Behold, therefore, the goodness and
severity of God.

03:10.420 --> 03:12.320
On them which fell, severity.

03:12.320 --> 03:16.460
But toward thee, goodness, if thou
continue in his goodness.

03:16.720 --> 03:18.960
Otherwise thou also shall be cut off.

03:19.600 --> 03:24.260
And they also, if they abide not still in
unbelief, shall be grafted in.

03:24.640 --> 03:26.960
For God is able to graft them in again.

03:27.720 --> 03:31.220
For if thou wert cut out of the olive
tree, which is wild by nature,

03:31.460 --> 03:35.960
and wert grafted contrary to nature,
into a good olive tree, how much more

03:35.960 --> 03:40.980
shall these which be the natural branches
be grafted into their own olive tree?

03:41.780 --> 03:46.560
For I would not, brethren, that ye should
be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye

03:46.560 --> 03:51.540
should be wise in your own conceits,
that blindness in part is happened to

03:51.540 --> 03:54.780
Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles
be come in.

03:55.440 --> 03:59.000
And so all Israel shall be saved,
as it is written.

03:59.700 --> 04:04.540
There shall come out of Zion the
Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness

04:04.540 --> 04:05.180
from Jacob.

04:05.680 --> 04:11.220
For this is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.

04:12.020 --> 04:15.740
As concerning the gospel, they are enemies
for your sakes.

04:16.380 --> 04:20.260
But as touching the election, they are
beloved for the Father's sakes.

04:20.860 --> 04:24.220
For the gifts and calling of God are
without repentance.

04:24.920 --> 04:30.240
For as ye in times past have not believed
God, yet have now obtained mercy through

04:30.240 --> 04:36.340
their unbelief, even so have these also
now not believed, that through your mercy

04:36.340 --> 04:38.020
they also may obtain mercy.

04:38.620 --> 04:43.380
For God hath concluded them all in
unbelief, that he might have mercy upon

04:43.380 --> 04:43.760
all.

04:44.460 --> 04:49.360
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the
wisdom and knowledge of God!

04:49.560 --> 04:54.180
How unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!

04:55.000 --> 04:57.480
For who hath known the mind of the Lord?

04:57.700 --> 04:59.360
Or who hath been his counselor?

04:59.800 --> 05:01.820
Or who hath first given to him?

05:02.000 --> 05:04.820
And it shall be recompensed unto him
again.

05:05.320 --> 05:11.760
For of him and through him and to him are
all things, to whom be glory for ever.

05:12.680 --> 05:12.900
Amen.
