SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:25–32: God will be merciful to Jews and Gentiles

In this section, Paul warned the Gentile believers in Rome to not think of themselves as better than the Jews who have not believed in Jesus. God has caused many Jews to not believe until the time the full number of Gentiles will believe. Then all Israel will be saved.

Many Jews have rejected the gospel of Jesus, but God still loves them because he chose them long ago. God will not change his mind about his promises to them and his calling of them.

Both Jew and Gentile are alike in that both have been disobedient and God will be merciful to both.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

God still has a plan for Israel (JBP)

All Israel Will Be Saved (NIV)

11:28a

Regarding the gospel,

¶ Concerning the good news,
¶ About the good news about Jesus,

The Greek does not have a conjunction to connect to the previous verses. This probably indicates that 11:28 does not continue the sequence of thoughts from the previous verses. Many scholars see 11:28–32 as a summary of chapters 9–11.See Moo (page 729) or Cranfield (page 579). Consider how to indicate that in your language, or follow the Greek and do not begin this verse with a conjunction.

Regarding the gospel: The words Regarding mean here “with reference to.” When considering the gospel of Jesus and the Jews, the Jews are enemies (see notes below). Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

As concerning the gospel (KJV)

with respect to the gospel of Jesus

the gospel: The Greek word that the BSB translates as gospel means “good news.” Here this word refers to God’s good news about Jesus Christ. See how you translated this word in 1:1 or 10:16.

11:28b

they are enemies on your account;

they are enemies of/with God, and this has benefited you.
God is their enemy, which helped you Gentiles.

they are enemies: Some English versions add the words “of God.”For example, Moo (page 730), Morris (page 422), and Dunn (page 693) connect the word “enemies” to being enemies of God. The context implies that God is an enemy to them.

they: Here this word refers to the Jews who do not believe in Jesus.

on your account: This phrase indicates that the Gentile believers in Rome (and implying all Gentile believers) benefited from the Jews being enemies with God (see also 11:11). Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

which helped you

and this benefits you Gentiles (NLT)

11:28c

but regarding election,

But concerning being chosen,
But about God choosing them to be his people,

election: Here this word refers to God choosing the Jews to be his people. For example:

God’s choice (GNT)

11:28d

they are loved on account of the patriarchs.

they are loved by him because of their ancestors.
he still loves them because he made promises to their ancestors long ago.

they are loved: This clause indicates that God loves them. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

they are still well loved (NJB)

they are still the people he loves (NLT)

on account of the patriarchs: This phrase indicates that God had made promises to the forefathers of the Jews, and he will keep those promises, even if the fact that many of the Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah makes it seem like he should not. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

for the sake of their forefathers (ESV)

because of the promises he made to their ancestors (NCV)

the patriarchs: Here this phrase refers to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jacob was the founder of the nation of Israel. They lived about two thousand years before the time Paul wrote this letter. Indicate or imply that patriarchs refers to many, many generations before this time. For example:

the forefathers of the nation of IsraelTagbanwa Back Translation on TW.
