52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Romans 11

1

I say then, Has God cast away his people? Far be the thought. For *I* also am an Israelite, of [the] seed of Abraham, of [the] tribe of Benjamin.

2

God has not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Know ye not what the scripture says in [the history of] Elias, how he pleads with God against Israel?

3

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, they have dug down thine altars; and *I* have been left alone, and they seek my life.

4

But what says the divine answer to him? I have left to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed knee to Baal.

5

Thus, then, in the present time also there has been a remnant according to election of grace.

6

But if by grace, no longer of works: since [otherwise] grace is no more grace.

7

What [is it] then? What Israel seeks for, that he has not obtained; but the election has obtained, and the rest have been blinded,

8

according as it is written, God has given to them a spirit of slumber, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this day.

9

And David says, Let their table be for a snare, and for a gin, and for a fall-trap, and for a recompense to them:

10

let their eyes be darkened not to see, and bow down their back alway.

11

I say then, Have they stumbled in order that they might fall? Far be the thought: but by their fall [there is] salvation to the nations to provoke them to jealousy.

12

But if their fall [be the] world's wealth, and their loss [the] wealth of [the] nations, how much rather their fulness?

13

For I speak to you, the nations, inasmuch as *I* am apostle of nations, I glorify my ministry;

14

if by any means I shall provoke to jealousy [them which are] my flesh, and shall save some from among them.

15

For if their casting away [be the] world's reconciliation, what [their] reception but life from among [the] dead?

16

Now if the first-fruit [be] holy, the lump also; and if the root [be] holy, the branches also.

17

Now if some of the branches have been broken out, and *thou*, being a wild olive tree, hast been grafted in amongst them, and hast become a fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive tree,

18

boast not against the branches; but if thou boast, [it is] not *thou* bearest the root, but the root thee.

19

Thou wilt say then, The branches have been broken out in order that *I* might be grafted in.

20

Right: they have been broken out through unbelief, and *thou* standest through faith. Be not high-minded, but fear:

21

if God indeed has not spared the natural branches; lest it might be he spare not thee either.

22

Behold then [the] goodness and severity of God: upon them who have fallen, severity; upon thee goodness of God, if thou shalt abide in goodness, since [otherwise] *thou* also wilt be cut away.

23

And *they* too, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able again to graft them in.

24

For if *thou* hast been cut out of the olive tree wild by nature, and, contrary to nature, hast been grafted into the good olive tree, how much rather shall they, who are according to nature be grafted into their own olive tree?

25

For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, that ye may not be wise in your own conceits, that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the nations be come in;

26

and so all Israel shall be saved. According as it is written, The deliverer shall come out of Zion; he shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

27

And this is the covenant from me to them, when I shall have taken away their sins.

28

As regards the glad tidings, [they are] enemies on your account; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.

29

For the gifts and the calling of God [are] not subject to repentance.

30

For as indeed *ye* [also] once have not believed in God, but now have been objects of mercy through the unbelief of *these*;

31

so these also have now not believed in your mercy, in order that *they* also may be objects of mercy.

32

For God hath shut up together all in unbelief, in order that he might shew mercy to all.

33

O depth of riches both of [the] wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable his judgments, and untraceable his ways!

34

For who has known [the] mind of [the] Lord, or who has been his counsellor?

35

or who has first given to him, and it shall be rendered to him?

36

For of him, and through him, and for him [are] all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

Romans 12

1

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, [which is] your intelligent service.

2

And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of [your] mind, that ye may prove what [is] the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

3

For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.

4

For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;

5

thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.

6

But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether [it be] prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;

7

or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;

8

or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.

9

Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:

10

as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:

11

as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.

12

As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:

13

distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

14

Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.

15

Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.

16

Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:

17

recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:

18

if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;

19

not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.

20

If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.

21

Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
