1 Глаго́лю ᲂу҆̀бо: є҆да̀ ѿри́нꙋ бг҃ъ лю́ди своѧ̑; Да не бꙋ́детъ. И҆́бо и҆ а҆́зъ і҆и҃льтѧнинъ є҆́смь, ѿ сѣ́мене а҆враа́млѧ, колѣ́на венїамі́нова.
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
1 Λέγω οὖν, μὴ ἀπώσατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ; μὴ γένοιτο· καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ Ἰσραηλίτης εἰμί, ἐκ σπέρματος Ἀβραάμ, φυλῆς Βενιαμίν.
2 Не ѿри́нꙋ бг҃ъ люді́й свои́хъ, и҆̀хже пре́жде разꙋмѣ̀. И҆лѝ не вѣ́сте, ѡ҆ и҆лїѝ что̀ глаго́летъ писа́нїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ приповѣ́дꙋетъ бг҃ови на і҆и҃лѧ, глаго́лѧ:
2 God didn’t reject his people, whom he foreknew. Or don’t you know what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
2 οὐκ ἀπώσατο ὁ Θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ὃν προέγνω. ἢ οὐκ οἴδατε ἐν Ἠλίᾳ τί λέγει ἡ γραφή, ὡς ἐντυγχάνει τῷ Θεῷ κατὰ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ λέγων;
3 гдⷭи, прⷪ҇ро́ки твоѧ̑ и҆зби́ша и҆ ѻ҆лтари̑ твоѧ̑ раскопа́ша: и҆ а҆́зъ ѡ҆ста́хъ є҆ди́нъ, и҆ и҆́щꙋтъ дꙋшѝ моеѧ̀, и҆з̾ѧ́ти ю҆̀.
3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets. They have broken down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.”
3 Κύριε, τοὺς προφήτας σου ἀπέκτειναν καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήριά σου κατέσκαψαν, κἀγὼ ὑπελείφθην μόνος, καὶ ζητοῦσι τὴν ψυχήν μου.
4 Но что̀ гл҃етъ є҆мꙋ̀ бжⷭ҇твенный ѿвѣ́тъ; Ѡ҆ста́вихъ себѣ̀ се́дмь ты́сѧщъ мꙋже́й, и҆̀же не преклони́ша колѣ́на пред̾ ваа́ломъ.
4 But how does God answer him? “I have reserved for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
4 ἀλλὰ τί λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ χρηματισμός; κατέλιπον ἐμαυτῷ ἑπτακισχιλίους ἄνδρας, οἵτινες οὐκ ἔκαμψαν γόνυ τῇ Βάαλ.
5 Та́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ въ нн҃ѣшнее вре́мѧ ѡ҆ста́нокъ по и҆збра́нїю блгⷣти бы́сть.
5 Even so too at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
5 οὕτως οὖν καὶ ἐν τῷ νῦν καιρῷ λεῖμμα κατ᾽ ἐκλογὴν χάριτος γέγονεν.
6 А҆́ще ли по блгⷣти, то̀ не ѿ дѣ́лъ: занѐ блгⷣть ᲂу҆жѐ не быва́етъ блгⷣть. А҆́ще ли ѿ дѣ́лъ, ктомꙋ̀ нѣ́сть блгⷣть: занѐ дѣ́ло ᲂу҆жѐ нѣ́сть дѣ́ло.
6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
6 εἰ δὲ χάριτι, οὐκέτι ἐξ ἔργων· ἐπεὶ ἡ χάρις οὐκέτι γίνεται χάρις. εἰ δὲ ἐξ ἔργων, οὐκέτι ἐστὶ χάρις· ἐπεὶ τὸ ἔργον οὐκέτι ἐστὶν ἔργον.
7 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо; Є҆гѡ́же и҆ска́ше і҆и҃ль, сегѡ̀ не полꙋчѝ, а҆ и҆збра́нїе полꙋчѝ: про́чїи же ѡ҆слѣпи́шасѧ,
7 What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
7 Τί οὖν; ὃ ἐπιζητεῖ Ἰσραήλ, τοῦτο οὐκ ἐπέτυχεν, ἡ δὲ ἐκλογὴ ἐπέτυχεν· οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ ἐπωρώθησαν,
8 ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: дадѐ и҆̀мъ бг҃ъ дꙋ́хъ ᲂу҆миле́нїѧ, ѻ҆́чи не ви́дѣти и҆ ᲂу҆́шы не слы́шати, да́же до дне́шнѧгѡ днѐ.
8 According as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.”
8 καθὼς γέγραπται· ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς πνεῦμα κατανύξεως, ὀφθαλμοὺς τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν καὶ ὦτα τοῦ μὴ ἀκούειν, ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας.
9 И҆ дв҃дъ глаго́летъ: да бꙋ́детъ трапе́за и҆́хъ въ сѣ́ть и҆ въ ло́въ, и҆ въ собла́знъ и҆ въ воздаѧ́нїе и҆̀мъ:
9 David says, “Let their table be made a snare, a trap, a stumbling block, and a retribution to them.
9 καὶ Δαυῒδ λέγει· γενηθήτω ἡ τράπεζα αὐτῶν εἰς παγίδα καὶ εἰς θήραν καὶ εἰς σκάνδαλον καὶ εἰς ἀνταπόδομα αὐτοῖς·
10 да помрача́тсѧ ѻ҆́чи и҆́хъ є҆́же не ви́дѣти, и҆ хребе́тъ и҆́хъ вы́нꙋ слѧца́й.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see. Always keep their backs bent.”
10 σκοτισθήτωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτῶν τοῦ μὴ βλέπειν, καὶ τὸν νῶτον αὐτῶν διὰ παντὸς σύγκαμψον.
11 Глаго́лю ᲂу҆̀бо: є҆да̀ согрѣши́ша, да ѿпадꙋ́тъ; Да не бꙋ́детъ. Но тѣ́хъ паде́нїемъ спⷭ҇нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ, во є҆́же раздражи́ти и҆̀хъ.
11 I ask then, did they stumble that they might fall? May it never be! But by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
11 Λέγω οὖν, μὴ ἔπταισαν ἵνα πέσωσι; μὴ γένοιτο· ἀλλὰ τῷ αὐτῶν παραπτώματι ἡ σωτηρία τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, εἰς τὸ παραζηλῶσαι αὐτούς.
12 А҆́ще ли же прегрѣше́нїе и҆́хъ бога́тство мі́ра, и҆ ѿпаде́нїе и҆́хъ бога́тство ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ: кольмѝ па́че и҆сполне́нїе и҆́хъ;
12 Now if their fall is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
12 εἰ δὲ τὸ παράπτωμα αὐτῶν πλοῦτος κόσμου καὶ τὸ ἥττημα αὐτῶν πλοῦτος ἐθνῶν, πόσῳ μᾶλλον τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῶν;
13 Ва́мъ бо глаго́лю ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ: поне́же ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́смь а҆́зъ ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ а҆пⷭ҇лъ, слꙋ́жбꙋ мою̀ прославлѧ́ю.
13 For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
13 Ὑμῖν γὰρ λέγω τοῖς ἔθνεσιν. ἐφ᾽ ὅσον μέν εἰμι ἐγὼ ἐθνῶν ἀπόστολος, τὴν διακονίαν μου δοξάζω,
14 А҆́ще ка́кѡ раздражꙋ̀ мою̀ пло́ть, и҆ спасꙋ̀ нѣ̑кїѧ ѿ ни́хъ;
14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them.
14 εἴ πως παραζηλώσω μου τὴν σάρκα καὶ σώσω τινὰς ἐξ αὐτῶν.
15 А҆́ще бо ѿложе́нїе и҆́хъ, примире́нїе мі́рꙋ, что̀ прїѧ́тїе, ра́звѣ жи́знь и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ;
15 For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?
15 εἰ γὰρ ἡ ἀποβολὴ αὐτῶν καταλλαγὴ κόσμου, τίς ἡ πρόσληψις εἰ μὴ ζωὴ ἐκ νεκρῶν;
16 А҆́ще ли нача́токъ ст҃ъ, то̀ и҆ примѣше́нїе: и҆ а҆́ще ко́рень ст҃ъ, то̀ и҆ вѣ̑тви.
16 If the first fruit is holy, so is the lump. If the root is holy, so are the branches.
16 εἰ δὲ ἡ ἀπαρχὴ ἁγία, καὶ τὸ φύραμα· καὶ εἰ ἡ ῥίζα ἁγία, καὶ οἱ κλάδοι.
17 А҆́ще ли нѣ̑кїѧ ѿ вѣ́твей ѿломи́шасѧ, ты́ же, ди́вїѧ ма́слина сы́й, прицѣпи́лсѧ є҆сѝ въ ни́хъ, и҆ прича́стникъ ко́рене и҆ ма́сти ма́слинныѧ сотвори́лсѧ є҆сѝ,
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
17 Εἰ δέ τινες τῶν κλάδων ἐξεκλάσθησαν, σὺ δὲ ἀγριέλαιος ὢν ἐνεκεντρίσθης ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ συγκοινωνὸς τῆς ῥίζης καὶ τῆς πιότητος τῆς ἐλαίας ἐγένου,
18 не хвали́сѧ на вѣ̑тви: а҆́ще ли же хва́лишисѧ, не ты̀ ко́рень но́сиши, но ко́рень тебѐ.
18 don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
18 μὴ κατακαυχῶ τῶν κλάδων· εἰ δὲ κατακαυχᾶσαι, οὐ σὺ τὴν ῥίζαν βαστάζεις, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ ῥίζα σέ.
19 Рече́ши ᲂу҆̀бо: ѿломи́шасѧ вѣ̑тви, да а҆́зъ прицѣплю́сѧ.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
19 ἐρεῖς οὖν· ἐξεκλάσθησαν [οἱ] κλάδοι, ἵνα ἐγὼ ἐγκεντρισθῶ.
20 До́брѣ: невѣ́рїемъ ѿломи́шасѧ, ты́ же вѣ́рою стои́ши: не высокомꙋ́дрствꙋй, но бо́йсѧ.
20 True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
20 καλῶς· τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ ἐξεκλάσθησαν, σὺ δὲ τῇ πίστει ἕστηκας. μὴ ὑψηλοφρόνει, ἀλλὰ φοβοῦ·
21 А҆́ще бо бг҃ъ є҆сте́ственныхъ вѣ́твей не пощадѣ̀, да не ка́кѡ и҆ тебѐ не пощади́тъ.
21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
21 εἰ γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς τῶν κατὰ φύσιν κλάδων οὐκ ἐφείσατο, μή πως οὐδὲ σοῦ φείσεται.
22 Ви́ждь ᲂу҆̀бо бл҃гость и҆ непощадѣ́нїе бж҃їе: на ѿпа́дшихъ ᲂу҆́бѡ непощадѣ́нїе, а҆ на тебѣ̀ бл҃гость бж҃їѧ, а҆́ще пребꙋ́деши въ бл҃гости: а҆́ще ли же нѝ, то̀ и҆ ты̀ ѿсѣ́ченъ бꙋ́деши.
22 See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
22 ἴδε οὖν χρηστότητα καὶ ἀποτομίαν Θεοῦ, ἐπὶ μὲν τοὺς πεσόντας ἀποτομίαν, ἐπὶ δὲ σὲ χρηστότητα, ἐὰν ἐπιμείνῃς τῇ χρηστότητι· ἐπεὶ καὶ σὺ ἐκκοπήσῃ.
23 И҆ ѻ҆ни́ же, а҆́ще не пребꙋ́дꙋтъ въ невѣ́рствїи, прицѣпѧ́тсѧ: си́ленъ бо є҆́сть бг҃ъ па́ки прицѣпи́ти и҆̀хъ.
23 They also, if they don’t continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
23 καὶ ἐκεῖνοι δέ, ἐὰν μὴ ἐπιμείνωσι τῇ ἀπιστίᾳ, ἐγκεντρισθήσονται· δυνατὸς γὰρ ὁ Θεός ἐστι πάλιν ἐγκεντρίσαι αὐτούς.
24 А҆́ще бо ты̀ ѿ є҆сте́ственныѧ ѿсѣ́ченъ ди́вїѧ ма́слины, и҆ чрез̾ є҆стество̀ прицѣпи́лсѧ є҆сѝ къ до́брѣй ма́слинѣ: кольмѝ па́че сі́и, и҆̀же по є҆стествꙋ̀, прицѣпѧ́тсѧ свое́й ма́слинѣ;
24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
24 εἰ γὰρ σὺ ἐκ τῆς κατὰ φύσιν ἐξεκόπης ἀγριελαίου καὶ παρὰ φύσιν ἐνεκεντρίσθης εἰς καλλιέλαιον, πόσῳ μᾶλλον οὗτοι οἱ κατὰ φύσιν ἐγκεντρισθήσονται τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἐλαίᾳ;
25 Не бо̀ хощꙋ̀ ва́съ не вѣ́дѣти та́йны сеѧ̀, бра́тїе, да не бꙋ́дете ѡ҆ себѣ̀ мꙋ́дри, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆слѣпле́нїе ѿ ча́сти і҆и҃леви бы́сть, до́ндеже и҆сполне́нїе ꙗ҆зы́кѡвъ вни́детъ,
25 For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
25 Οὐ γὰρ θέλω ὑμᾶς ἀγνοεῖν, ἀδελφοί, τὸ μυστήριον τοῦτο, ἵνα μὴ ἦτε παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς φρόνιμοι, ὅτι πώρωσις ἀπὸ μέρους τῷ Ἰσραὴλ γέγονεν ἄχρις οὗ τὸ πλήρωμα τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰσέλθῃ,
26 и҆ та́кѡ ве́сь і҆и҃ль спасе́тсѧ, ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: прїи́детъ ѿ сїѡ́на и҆збавлѧ́ѧй, и҆ ѿврати́тъ нече́стїе ѿ і҆а́кѡва:
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, “There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
26 καὶ οὕτω πᾶς Ἰσραὴλ σωθήσεται, καθὼς γέγραπται· ἥξει ἐκ Σιὼν ὁ ῥυόμενος καὶ ἀποστρέψει ἀσεβείας ἀπὸ Ἰακώβ·
27 и҆ се́й и҆̀мъ ѿ менє̀ завѣ́тъ, є҆гда̀ ѿимꙋ̀ грѣхѝ и҆́хъ.
27 This is my covenant with them, when I will take away their sins.”
27 καὶ αὕτη αὐτοῖς ἡ παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ διαθήκη, ὅταν ἀφέλωμαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
28 По бл҃говѣствова́нїю ᲂу҆́бѡ, вразѝ ва́съ ра́ди: по и҆збра́нїю же, возлю́блени ѻ҆тє́цъ ра́ди.
28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake.
28 κατὰ μὲν τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἐχθροὶ δι᾽ ὑμᾶς, κατὰ δὲ τὴν ἐκλογὴν ἀγαπητοὶ διὰ τοὺς πατέρας·
29 Нераска̑ѧнна бо дарова̑нїѧ и҆ зва́нїе бж҃їе.
29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
29 ἀμεταμέλητα γὰρ τὰ χαρίσματα καὶ ἡ κλῆσις τοῦ Θεοῦ.
30 Ꙗ҆́коже бо и҆ вы̀ и҆ногда̀ проти́вистесѧ бг҃ови, нн҃ѣ же поми́ловани бы́сте си́хъ противле́нїемъ:
30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience,
30 ὥσπερ γὰρ καὶ ὑμεῖς ποτε ἠπειθήσατε τῷ Θεῷ, νῦν δὲ ἠλεήθητε τῇ τούτων ἀπειθείᾳ,
31 та́кожде и҆ сі́и нн҃ѣ проти́вишасѧ ва́шей ми́лости, да и҆ ті́и поми́ловани бꙋ́дꙋтъ.
31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy.
31 οὕτω καὶ οὗτοι νῦν ἠπείθησαν, τῷ ὑμετέρῳ ἐλέει ἵνα καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθῶσι·
32 Затвори́ бо бг҃ъ всѣ́хъ въ противле́нїе, да всѣ́хъ поми́лꙋетъ.
32 For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.
32 συνέκλεισε γὰρ ὁ Θεὸς τοὺς πάντας εἰς ἀπείθειαν, ἵνα τοὺς πάντας ἐλεήσῃ.
33 Ѽ, глꙋбина̀ бога́тства и҆ премꙋ́дрости и҆ ра́зꙋма бж҃їѧ! ꙗ҆́кѡ неиспы́тани сꙋ́дове є҆гѡ̀, и҆ неизслѣ́довани пꙋтїѐ є҆гѡ̀.
33 Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past tracing out!
33 Ὦ βάθος πλούτου καὶ σοφίας καὶ γνώσεως Θεοῦ! ὡς ἀνεξερεύνητα τὰ κρίματα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνεξιχνίαστοι αἱ ὁδοὶ αὐτοῦ!
34 Кто̀ бо̀ разꙋмѣ̀ ᲂу҆́мъ гдⷭ҇ень, и҆лѝ кто̀ совѣ́тникъ є҆мꙋ̀ бы́сть;
34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
34 τίς γὰρ ἔγνω νοῦν Κυρίου; ἢ τίς σύμβουλος αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο;
35 И҆лѝ кто̀ пре́жде дадѐ є҆мꙋ̀, и҆ возда́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀;
35 “Or who has first given to him, and it will be repaid to him again?”
35 ἢ τίς προέδωκεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀνταποδοθήσεται αὐτῷ;
36 Ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆з̾ тогѡ̀ и҆ тѣ́мъ и҆ въ не́мъ всѧ́чєскаѧ. Томꙋ̀ сла́ва во вѣ́ки. А҆ми́нь.
36 For of him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.
36 ὅτι ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα. αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας· ἀμήν.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 11:7 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Romans (Homily XIX)

    He had said that God did not cast off His people; and to show in what sense He had not cast them off, he takes refuge in the Prophets again.
