2 WYC God hath not put awei his puple, which he bifor knew. Whether ye witen not, what the scripture seith in Elie? Hou he preieth God ayens Israel, BSB BSB: God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:
3 WYC Lord, thei han slayn thi prophetis, thei han vndurdoluun thin auteris, and Y am lefte aloone, and thei seken my lijf. BSB BSB: “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?
4 WYC But what seith Goddis answere to hym? Y haue left to me seuene thousyndes of men, that han not bowid her knees bifore Baal. BSB BSB: And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 WYC So therfor also in this tyme, the relifs ben maad saaf, bi the chesyng of the grace of God. BSB BSB: In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
6 WYC And if it be bi the grace of God, it is not now of werkis; ellis grace is not now grace. BSB BSB: And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
7 WYC What thanne? Israel hath not getun this that he souyte, but eleccioun hath getun; and the othere ben blyndid. BSB BSB: What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
8 WYC As it is writun, God yaf to hem a spirit of compunccioun, iyen that thei se not, and eeris, that thei here not, in to this dai. BSB BSB: as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
9 WYC And Dauith seith, Be the boord of hem maad in to a gryn bifor hem, and in to catchyng, and in to sclaundre, and in to yeldyng to hem. BSB BSB: And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
10 WYC Be the iyen of hem maad derk, that thei se not; and bowe thou doun algatis the bak of hem. BSB BSB: May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
11 WYC Therfor Y seie, Whether thei offendiden so, that thei schulden falle doun? God forbede. But bi the gilt of hem helthe is maad to hethene men, that thei sue hem. BSB BSB: I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.
12 WYC That if the gilt of hem ben richessis of the world, and the makyng lesse of hem ben richessis of hethene men, hou myche more the plente of hem? BSB BSB: But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
13 WYC But Y seie to you, hethene men, for as longe as Y am apostle of hethene men, Y schal onoure my mynysterie, BSB BSB: I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
14 WYC if in ony maner Y stire my fleisch for to folowe, and that Y make summe of hem saaf. BSB BSB: in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
15 WYC For if the loss of hem is the recouncelyng of the world, what is the takyng vp, but lijf of deede men? BSB BSB: For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 WYC For if a litil part of that that is tastid be hooli, the hool gobet is hooli; and if the roote is hooli, also the braunchis. BSB BSB: If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 WYC What if ony of the braunchis ben brokun, whanne thou were a wielde olyue tre, art graffid among hem, and art maad felowe of the roote, and of the fatnesse of the olyue tre, BSB BSB: Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,
18 WYC nyle thou haue glorie ayens the braunchis. For if thou gloriest, thou berist not the roote, but the roote thee. BSB BSB: do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 WYC Therfor thou seist, The braunchis ben brokun, that Y be graffid in. BSB BSB: You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20 WYC Wel, for vnbileue the braunchis ben brokun; but thou stondist bi feith. Nyle thou sauere hiye thing, BSB BSB: That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
21 WYC but drede thou, for if God sparide not the kyndli braunchis, lest perauenture he spare not thee. BSB BSB: For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.
22 WYC Therfor se the goodnesse, and the fersnesse of God; yhe, the feersnesse in to hem that felden doun, but the goodnesse of God in to thee, if thou dwellist in goodnesse, ellis also thou schalt be kit doun. BSB BSB: Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 WYC Yhe, and thei schulen be set yn, if thei dwellen not in vnbileue. For God is myyti, to sette hem in eftsoone. BSB BSB: And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 WYC For if thou art kit doun of the kyndeli wielde olyue tre, and ayens kynd art set in to a good olyue tre, hou myche more thei that ben bi kynde, schulen be set in her olyue tree? BSB BSB: For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
26 WYC and so al Israel schulde be maad saaf. As it is writun, He schal come of Syon, that schal delyuere, and turne awei the wickidnesse of Jacob. BSB BSB: And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.

31 WYC so and these now bileueden not in to youre merci, that also thei geten merci. BSB BSB: so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
32 WYC For God closide alle thingis togidere in vnbileue, that he haue mercy on alle. BSB BSB: For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
34 WYC For whi who knew the wit of the Lord, or who was his counselour? or who formere yaf to hym, BSB BSB: “Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
35 WYC and it schal be quyt to hym? BSB BSB: “Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”
36 WYC For of hym, and bi hym, and in hym ben alle thingis. To hym be glorie in to worldis. Amen. BSB BSB: For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.
