Romans 10:13 (NLT)

For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:14 (NLT)

But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

Romans 10:15 (NLT)

And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

Romans 10:16 (NLT)

But not everyone welcomes the Good News, for Isaiah the prophet said, “ Lord , who has believed our message?”

Romans 10:17 (NLT)

So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.

Romans 10:18 (NLT)

But I ask, have the people of Israel actually heard the message? Yes, they have: “The message has gone throughout the earth, and the words to all the world.”

But I ask, did the people of Israel really understand? Yes, they did, for even in the time of Moses, God said, “I will rouse your jealousy through people who are not even a nation. I will provoke your anger through the foolish Gentiles.”

Romans 10:20 (NLT)

And later Isaiah spoke boldly for God, saying, “I was found by people who were not looking for me. I showed myself to those who were not asking for me.”

Romans 10:21 (NLT)

But regarding Israel, God said, “All day long I opened my arms to them, but they were disobedient and rebellious.”

Romans 11:1 (NLT)

I ask, then, has God rejected his own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.

Romans 11:2 (NLT)

No, God has not rejected his own people, whom he chose from the very beginning. Do you realize what the Scriptures say about this? Elijah the prophet complained to God about the people of Israel and said,

Romans 11:3 (NLT)

“ Lord , they have killed your prophets and torn down your altars. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”

Romans 11:4 (NLT)

And do you remember God’s reply? He said, “No, I have 7,000 others who have never bowed down to Baal!”

Romans 11:6 (NLT)

And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is—free and undeserved.

Romans 11:7 (NLT)

So this is the situation: Most of the people of Israel have not found the favor of God they are looking for so earnestly. A few have—the ones God has chosen—but the hearts of the rest were hardened.

Romans 11:9 (NLT)

Likewise, David said, “Let their bountiful table become a snare, a trap that makes them think all is well. Let their blessings cause them to stumble, and let them get what they deserve.

Romans 11:10 (NLT)

Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see, and let their backs be bent forever.”

Romans 11:11 (NLT)

Did God’s people stumble and fall beyond recovery? Of course not! They were disobedient, so God made salvation available to the Gentiles. But he wanted his own people to become jealous and claim it for themselves.

Romans 11:12 (NLT)

Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God’s offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.

Romans 11:13 (NLT)

I am saying all this especially for you Gentiles. God has appointed me as the apostle to the Gentiles. I stress this,

Romans 11:14 (NLT)

for I want somehow to make the people of Israel jealous of what you Gentiles have, so I might save some of them.

Romans 11:15 (NLT)

For since their rejection meant that God offered salvation to the rest of the world, their acceptance will be even more wonderful. It will be life for those who were dead!

Romans 11:16 (NLT)

And since Abraham and the other patriarchs were holy, their descendants will also be holy—just as the entire batch of dough is holy because the portion given as an offering is holy. For if the roots of the tree are holy, the branches will be, too.

Romans 11:17 (NLT)

But some of these branches from Abraham’s tree—some of the people of Israel—have been broken off. And you Gentiles, who were branches from a wild olive tree, have been grafted in. So now you also receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in the rich nourishment from the root of God’s special olive tree.

Romans 11:18 (NLT)

But you must not brag about being grafted in to replace the branches that were broken off. You are just a branch, not the root.
