	GENEVA Geneva Bible of 1587	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	I Demaund then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid: for I also am an Israelite, of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.	I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin.	I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2	God hath not cast away his people which he knew before. Know ye not what the Scripture sayth of Elias, howe hee communeth with God against Israel, saying,	God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel?	God did not reject his people, whom he foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel:
3	Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine altars: and I am left alone, and they seeke my life?	“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.”	“Lord, they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me\|?
4	But what saith the answere of God to him? I haue reserued vnto my selfe seuen thousand men, which haue not bowed the knee to Baal.	But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”	And what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5	Euen so then at this present time is there a remnant according to the election of grace.	So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.	So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
6	And if it be of grace, it is no more of workes: or els were grace no more grace: but if it be of workes, it is no more grace: or els were worke no more worke.	But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.	And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
7	What then? Israel hath not obtained that he sought: but the election hath obteined it, and the rest haue bene hardened,	What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened,	What then? What the people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but the others were hardened,
8	According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.	as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.”	as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
9	And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a net, and a stumbling blocke, euen for a recompence vnto them.	And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them;	And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10	Let their eyes be darkened that they see not, and bowe downe their backe alwayes.	let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever.”	May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
11	I demaund then, Haue they stumbled, that they should fall? God forbid: but through their fall, saluation commeth vnto the Gentiles, to prouoke them to follow them.	So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous.	Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.
12	Wherefore if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more shall their aboundance be?	Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean!	But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
13	For in that I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of ye Gentiles, I magnifie mine office,	Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry	I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry
14	To trie if by any meanes I might prouoke them of my flesh to follow them, and might saue some of them.	in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them.	in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them.
15	For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiuing be, but life from the dead?	For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?	For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16	For if the first fruites be holy, so is the whole lumpe: and if the roote be holy, so are the branches.	If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.	If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17	And though some of the branches be broken off, and thou being a wilde Oliue tree, wast graft in for them, and made partaker of the roote, and fatnesse of the Oliue tree.	But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree,	If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root,
18	Boast not thy selfe against the branches: and if thou boast thy selfe, thou bearest not the roote, but the roote thee.	do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you.	do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19	Thou wilt say then, The branches are broken off, that I might be graft in.	Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”	You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20	Well: through vnbeliefe they are broken off, and thou standest by faith: bee not hie minded, but feare.	That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear.	Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble.
21	For if God spared not the naturall branches, take heede, least he also spare not thee.	For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.	For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22	Beholde therefore the bountifulnesse, and seueritie of God: towarde them which haue fallen, seueritie: but toward thee, bountifulnesse, if thou continue in his bountifulnesse: or els thou shalt also be cut off.	Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.	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 vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.	And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again.	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 wast cut out of the Oliue tree, which was wilde by nature, & wast graffed contrary to nature in a right Oliue tree, how much more shall they that are by nature, bee graffed in their owne Oliue tree?	For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.	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 secret (least ye should bee arrogant in your selues) that partly obstinacie is come to Israel, vntill the fulnesse of the Gentiles be come in.	Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.	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 shalbe saued, as it is written, The deliuerer shall come out of Sion, and shall turne away the vngodlinesse from Iacob.	And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;	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 my couenant to them, When I shall take away their sinnes.	“and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”	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 beloued for the fathers sakes.	As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.	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 giftes and calling of God are without repentance.	For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.	for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
30	For euen as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue nowe obteined mercie through their vnbeliefe:	For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,	Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
31	Euen so nowe haue they not beleeued by the mercie shewed vnto you, that they also may obtaine mercie.	so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy.	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 shut vp all in vnbeliefe, that he might haue mercie on all.	For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.	For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
33	O the deepenesse of the riches, both of the wisdome, and knowledge of God! howe vnsearcheable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!	Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!	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 knowen the minde of the Lord? or who was his counsellour?	“For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?”	“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
35	Or who hath giuen vnto him first, and he shalbe recompensed?	“Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?”	“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?”
36	For of him, and through him, and for him are all things: to him be glory for euer. Amen.	For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.	For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
