Geneva Study Bible - Romans 11:25

11:25 {13} For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your {b} own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be {c} come in.(13) The blindness of the Jews is neither so universal that the Lord has no elect in that nation, neither will it be continual: for there will be a time in which they also (as the prophets have foretold) will effectually embrace that which they now so stubbornly for the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:1-36

Israel Yet to be Restored We have seen in Romans 9:1-33 that there is an election according to the grace of God in Israel: in Romans 10:1-21 this is shown to be on the basis of faith in contrast to law: now inRomans 11:1-36; Romans 11:1-36 this masterly treatise concludes with the consideration of how Israel will eventually enter into their promised portion. This is plainly by a mostly humbling process but it is nonetheless certain. Was this not always in the mind of God? Could we allow the... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Romans 11:1-36

PARENTHESIS CONCERNING ISRAEL These chapters carry us back to chapter 3, where Paul proved the lost condition of the Jew as well as the Gentiles. But if this were so it might be charged that the Old Testament promises to Israel had failed, which he now shows is not the case. This line of argument is threefold: first, some of Israel were already saved (chap. 9); secondly, all of Israel might be saved but for unbelief (chap. 10); thirdly, all of Israel would be saved ultimately (chap. 11).... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Romans 11:11-36

I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. (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? (13) For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: (14) If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Romans 11:25-26

I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, this hidden truth of God's justice and mercy, that blindness in part hath happened in Israel, or to part of them, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in, by the conversion of all nations: and then all Israel should be saved, when they shall submit to the faith of Christ: as it is written by the prophet Isaias, (lix. 20.) there shall come out of Sion he that shall deliver; that is, their Redeemer, Christ Jesus, who is indeed... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:11-21

11-21 The gospel is the greatest riches of every place where it is. As therefore the righteous rejection of the unbelieving Jews, was the occasion of so large a multitude of the Gentiles being reconciled to God, and at peace with him; the future receiving of the Jews into the church would be such a change, as would resemble a general resurrection of the dead in sin to a life of righteousness. Abraham was as the root of the church. The Jews continued branches of this tree till, as a nation, they... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 11:22-32

22-32 Of all judgments, spiritual judgments are the sorest; of these the apostle is here speaking. The restoration of the Jews is, in the course of things, far less improbable than the call of the Gentiles to be the children of Abraham; and though others now possess these privileges, it will not hinder their being admitted again. By rejecting the gospel, and by their indignation at its being preached to the Gentiles, the Jews were become enemies to God; yet they are still to be favoured for the... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 11:1-99

Romans 11 THOUGH ISRAEL, as a nation, has been set aside for a time, they have not been cast away for ever. Some Gentiles in the conceit of their hearts thought so when Paul was writing, and not a few think so today. But God forbid that it should be so, for they are His people foreknown for a special object, and in that event His object would be defeated. The Apostle immediately cites his own case as proof. Mercy had been shown to him and he was an Israelite, a sample of that remnant which... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 11:16-24

A warning to the Gentile Christians: v. 16. For if the first-fruit be holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root be holy, so are the branches. v. 17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive-tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakes of the root and fatness of the olive-tree, v. 18. boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. v. 19. Thou wilt say, then, The branches were broken off that... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 11:25-27

The fullness of the Gentiles and all Israel: v. 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 is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. v. 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; v. 27. for this is my covenant unto them when I shall take away their sins. There is... read more
