1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? By no means. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin.
1 DIGO pues: ¿Ha desechado Dios á su pueblo? En ninguna manera. Porque también yo soy Israelita, de la simiente de Abraham, de la tribu de Benjamín.
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
2 No ha desechado Dios á su pueblo, al cual antes conoció. ¿O no sabéis qué dice de Elías la Escritura? cómo hablando con Dios contra Israel [dice]:
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thy altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
3 Señor, á tus profetas han muerto, y tus altares han derruído; y yo he quedado solo, y procuran matarme.
4 But what saith the answer of God to him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal.
4 Mas ¿qué le dice la divina respuesta? He dejado para mí siete mil hombres, que no han doblado la rodilla delante de Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
5 Así también, aun en este tiempo han quedado reliquias por la elección de gracia.
6 And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
6 Y si por gracia, luego no por las obras; de otra manera la gracia ya no es gracia. Y si por las obras, ya no es gracia; de otra manera la obra ya no es obra.
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
7 ¿Qué pues? Lo que buscaba Israel aquello no ha alcanzado; mas la elección lo ha alcanzado: y los demás fueron endurecidos;
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) to this day.
8 Como está escrito: Dióles Dios espíritu de remordimiento, ojos con que no vean, y oídos con que no oigan, hasta el día de hoy.
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and a recompense to them:
9 Y David dice: Séales vuelta su mesa en lazo, y en red, y en tropezadero, y en paga:
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always.
10 Sus ojos sean obscurecidos para que no vean, y agóbiales siempre el espinazo.
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? By no means: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
11 Digo pues: ¿Han tropezado para que cayesen? En ninguna manera; mas por el tropiezo de ellos [vino] la salud á los Gentiles, para que fuesen provocados á celos.
12 Now if the fall of them [be] the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
12 Y si la falta de ellos es la riqueza del mundo, y el menoscabo de ellos la riqueza de los Gentiles, ¿cuánto más el henchimiento de ellos?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office:
13 Porque á vosotros hablo, Gentiles. Por cuanto pues, yo soy apóstol de los Gentiles, mi ministerio honro,
14 If by any means I may incite to emulation [them who are] my flesh, and may save some of them.
14 Por si en alguna manera provocase á celos á mi carne, é hiciese salvos á algunos de ellos.
15 For if the rejection of them [be] the reconciling of the world, what [shall] the receiving [of them be] , but life from the dead?
15 Porque si el extrañamiento de ellos [es] la reconciliación del mundo, ¿qué [será] el recibimiento [de ellos], sino vida de los muertos?
16 For if the first fruit [is] holy, the lump [is] also [holy] : and if the root [is] holy, so [are] the branches.
16 Y si el primer fruto es santo, también lo es el todo, y si la raíz es santa, también lo son las ramas.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive-tree, art ingrafted among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive-tree;
17 Que si algunas de las ramas fueron quebradas, y tú, siendo acebuche, has sido ingerido en lugar de ellas, y has sido hecho participante de la raíz y de la grosura de la oliva;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
18 No te jactes contra las ramas; y si te jactas, [sabe que] no sustentas tú á la raíz, sino la raíz á ti.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be ingrafted.
19 Pues las ramas, dirás, fueron quebradas para que yo fuese ingerido.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:
20 Bien: por su incredulidad fueron quebradas, mas tú por la fe estás en pie. No te ensoberbezcas, antes teme,
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, [take heed] lest he also spare not thee.
21 Que si Dios no perdonó á las ramas naturales, á ti tampoco no perdone.
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but towards thee, goodness, if thou shalt continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
22 Mira, pues, la bondad y la severidad de Dios: la severidad ciertamente en los que cayeron; mas la bondad para contigo, si permanecieres en la bondad; pues de otra manera tú también serás cortado.
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be ingrafted: for God is able to ingraft them again.
23 Y aun ellos, si no permanecieren en incredulidad, serán ingeridos; que poderoso es Dios para volverlos á ingerir.
24 For if thou wast cut out of the olive-tree which is wild by nature, and wast ingrafted contrary to nature into a good olive-tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural [branches] , be grafted into their own olive-tree?
24 Porque si tú eres cortado del natural acebuche, y contra natura fuiste ingerido en la buena oliva, ¿cuánto más éstos, que son las [ramas] naturales, serán ingeridos en su oliva?
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, (lest ye should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part hath happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles shall be come in.
25 Porque no quiero, hermanos, que ignoréis este misterio, para que no seáis acerca de vosotros mismos arrogantes: que el endurecimiento en parte ha acontecido en Israel, hasta que haya entrado la plenitud de los Gentiles;
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
26 Y luego todo Israel será salvo; como está escrito: Vendrá de Sión el Libertador, que quitará de Jacob la impiedad;
27 For this [is] my covenant to them, when I shall take away their sins.
27 Y este es mi pacto con ellos, cuando quitare su pecados.
28 As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as concerning the election, [they are] beloved for the father's sakes.
28 Así que, cuanto al evangelio, son enemigos por causa de vosotros: mas cuanto á la elección, son muy amados por causa de los padres.
29 For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance.
29 Porque sin arrepentimiento son las mercedes y la vocación de Dios.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief;
30 Porque como también vosotros en algún tiempo no creísteis á Dios, mas ahora habéis alcanzado misericordia por la incredulidad de ellos;
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
31 Así también éstos ahora no han creído, para que, por la misericordia para con vosotros, ellos también alcancen misericordia.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
32 Porque Dios encerró á todos en incredulidad, para tener misericordia de todos.
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
33 ¡Oh profundidad de las riquezas de la sabiduría y de la ciencia de Dios! ¡Cuán incomprensibles son sus juicios, é inescrutables sus caminos!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counselor?
34 Porque ¿quién entendió la mente del Señor? ¿ó quién fué su consejero?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed to him again?
35 ¿O quién le dió á él primero, para que le sea pagado?
36 For from him, and by him, and to him [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen.
36 Porque de él, y por él, y en él, son todas las cosas. A él sea gloria por siglos. Amén.

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.

And that the Saviour received first-fruits of those whom He was to save, Paul declared when he said, "And if the first-fruits be holy, the lump is also holy," teaching that the expression "first-fruits" denoted that which is spiritual, but that "the lump" meant us, that is, the animal Church, the lump of which they say He assumed, and blended …
What was it that Thou didst then, O my God, and how unsearchable are the depths of Thy judgments! For when, sore sick of a fever, he long lay unconscious in a death-sweat, and all despaired of his recovery, he was baptized without his knowledge; myself meanwhile little caring, presuming that his soul would retain rather what it had imbibed …

"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.
