1 λεγω ουν, μη απωσατο ο θεος τον λαον αυτου; μη γενοιτο· και γαρ εγω ισραηλιτης ειμι, εκ σπερματος αβρααμ, φυλης βενιαμιν. 2 ουκ απωσατο ο θεος τον λαον αυτου ον προεγνω. η ουκ οιδατε εν ηλια τι λεγει η γραφη, ως εντυγχανει τω θεω κατα του ισραηλ λεγων; 3 κυριε, τους προφητας σου απεκτειναν και τα θυσιαστηρια σου κατεσκαψαν, καγω υπελειφθην μονος, και ζητουσιν την ψυχην μου. 4 αλλα τι λεγει αυτω ο χρηματισμος; κατελιπον εμαυτω επτακισχιλιους ανδρας, οιτινες ουκ εκαμψαν γονυ τη βααλ. 5 ουτως ουν και εν τω νυν καιρω λειμμα κατ εκλογην χαριτος γεγονεν. 6 ει δε χαριτι, ουκετι εξ εργων· επει η χαρις ουκετι γινεται χαρις. ει δε εξ εργων, ουκετι εστιν χαρις· επει το εργον ουκετι εστιν εργον. 7 τι ουν; ο επιζητει ισραηλ, τουτο ουκ επετυχεν, η δε εκλογη επετυχεν· οι δε λοιποι επωρωθησαν, 8 καθως γεγραπται· εδωκεν αυτοις ο θεος πνευμα κατανυξεως, οφθαλμους του μη βλεπειν και ωτα του μη ακουειν, εως της σημερον ημερας. 9 και δαυιδ λεγει· γενηθητω η τραπεζα αυτων εις παγιδα και εις θηραν και εις σκανδαλον και εις ανταποδομα αυτοις· 10 σκοτισθητωσαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτων του μη βλεπειν, και τον νωτον αυτων δια παντος συγκαμψον. 11 λεγω ουν, μη επταισαν ινα πεσωσιν; μη γενοιτο· αλλα τω αυτων παραπτωματι η σωτηρια τοις εθνεσιν, εις το παραζηλωσαι αυτους. 12 ει δε το παραπτωμα αυτων πλουτος κοσμου και το ηττημα αυτων πλουτος εθνων, ποσω μαλλον το πληρωμα αυτων; 13 υμιν γαρ λεγω τοις εθνεσιν. εφ οσον μεν ειμι εγω εθνων αποστολος, την διακονιαν μου δοξαζω, 14 ει πως παραζηλωσω μου την σαρκα και σωσω τινας εξ αυτων. 15 ει γαρ η αποβολη αυτων καταλλαγη κοσμου, τις η προσληψις ει μη ζωη εκ νεκρων; 16 ει δε η απαρχη αγια, και το φυραμα· και ει η ριζα αγια, και οι κλαδοι. 17 ει δε τινες των κλαδων εξεκλασθησαν, συ δε αγριελαιος ων ενεκεντρισθης εν αυτοις και συγκοινωνος της ριζης και της πιοτητος της ελαιας εγενου, 18 μη κατακαυχω των κλαδων· ει δε κατακαυχασαι, ου συ την ριζαν βασταζεις, αλλ η ριζα σε. 19 ερεις ουν· εξεκλασθησαν [οι] κλαδοι, ινα εγω εγκεντρισθω. 20 καλως· τη απιστια εξεκλασθησαν, συ δε τη πιστει εστηκας. μη υψηλοφρονει, αλλα φοβου· 21 ει γαρ ο θεος των κατα φυσιν κλαδων ουκ εφεισατο, μη πως ουδε σου φεισεται. 22 ιδε ουν χρηστοτητα και αποτομιαν θεου, επι μεν τους πεσοντας αποτομιαν, επι δε σε χρηστοτητα, εαν επιμεινης τη χρηστοτητι· επει και συ εκκοπηση. 23 και εκεινοι δε, εαν μη επιμεινωσιν τη απιστια, εγκεντρισθησονται· δυνατος γαρ ο θεος εστιν παλιν εγκεντρισαι αυτους. 24 ει γαρ συ εκ της κατα φυσιν εξεκοπης αγριελαιου και παρα φυσιν ενεκεντρισθης εις καλλιελαιον, ποσω μαλλον ουτοι οι κατα φυσιν εγκεντρισθησονται τη ιδια ελαια; 25 ου γαρ θελω υμας αγνοειν, αδελφοι, το μυστηριον τουτο, ινα μη ητε παρ εαυτοις φρονιμοι, οτι πωρωσις απο μερους τω ισραηλ γεγονεν αχρι ου το πληρωμα των εθνων εισελθη, 26 και ουτως πας ισραηλ σωθησεται, καθως γεγραπται· ηξει εκ σιων ο ρυομενος και αποστρεψει ασεβειας απο ιακωβ· 27 και αυτη αυτοις η παρ εμου διαθηκη, οταν αφελωμαι τας αμαρτιας αυτων. 28 κατα μεν το ευαγγελιον εχθροι δι υμας, κατα δε την εκλογην αγαπητοι δια τους πατερας· 29 αμεταμελητα γαρ τα χαρισματα και η κλησις του θεου. 30 ωσπερ γαρ και υμεις ποτε ηπειθησατε τω θεω, νυν δε ηλεηθητε τη τουτων απειθεια, 31 ουτως και ουτοι νυν ηπειθησαν, τω υμετερω ελεει ινα και αυτοι ελεηθωσιν· 32 συνεκλεισεν γαρ ο θεος τους παντας εις απειθειαν, ινα τους παντας ελεηση. 33 ω βαθος πλουτου και σοφιας και γνωσεως θεου! ως ανεξερευνητα τα κριματα αυτου και ανεξιχνιαστοι αι οδοι αυτου! 34 τις γαρ εγνω νουν κυριου; η τις συμβουλος αυτου εγενετο; 35 η τις προεδωκεν αυτω, και ανταποδοθησεται αυτω; 36 οτι εξ αυτου και δι αυτου και εις αυτον τα παντα. αυτω η δοξα εις τους αιωνας· αμην.

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).
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.

"But yet Paul," one may say, "allows them, saying on this wise, As touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.'" But tell me, when, and of what things was he discoursing, and to whom?

Thou art transplanted henceforth among the spiritual olive-trees, being grafted from the wild into the good olive-tree, from sins into righteousness, from pollutions into purity.
