Anakalypsis / Unveiling the Word

Romans 11:2

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

KJV

οὐκ ἀπώσατο ὁ θεὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ὃν προέγνω. ἢ οὐκ οἴδατε ἐν Ἠλείᾳ τί λέγει ἡ γραφή; ὡς ἐντυγχάνει τῷ θεῷ κατὰ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ,

Greek NT

non repulit Deus plebem suam, quam præscivit. An nescitis in Elia quid dicit Scriptura ? quemadmodum interpellat Deum adversum Israël :

Vulgate

God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:

ASV

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Know you not what the scripture saith of Elias, how he calleth on God against Israel?

The Gentiles, like wild olive branches, have been grafted in — but they must not boast against the natural branches. If God spared not the natural branches, he may not spare the grafted ones either.
