ROM 11:36 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Jews and Gentiles

One of the key themes of the New Testament is that God has incorporated Gentiles into the people of God while remaining faithful to his promises to Israel. In Romans 11:11-32, Paul describes God’s plan to save all nations in four distinct stages:

1. The Good News is proclaimed to the Jews, who respond (mostly) with unbelief. Using the metaphor of an olive tree, Paul says that “some of these branches from Abraham’s tree . . . have been broken off” (11:17). This stage was already a matter of history and personal experience for Paul—although he shared the Good News with Jews in synagogues all over the eastern Mediterranean basin, many Jews rejected the message (see Acts 13:42-49; 18:4-6; 28:23-28).

2. Many Gentiles respond to the message with faith. As the natural branches were broken off, “branches from a wild olive tree have been grafted in” (Rom 11:17). After being resisted in the synagogues, Paul and the other apostles offered salvation to the Gentiles, and many responded affirmatively (see Acts 13:48-49; 26:15-18). By the time Paul wrote Romans, the church in Rome was largely a Gentile community.

3. Many Jews respond to the Good News with faith. The natural branches are able to be “grafted in again” (Rom 11:23). Paul argues that the Jews are not “beyond recovery” and are capable of turning to Christ (11:11). Paul’s hope is that, as Gentiles enjoy the blessings of salvation, Jews would become jealous and respond to the Good News (11:11-15).

4. God pours out great blessing on the world, including the resurrection from the dead. Paul indicates that when the Jews turn to the Lord in greater numbers, it will be a tremendous blessing for the world (11:12, 15). Those who accept God’s offer of salvation—both Jew and Gentile—experience new life (see 11:15) and in the future will experience the resurrection from the dead (see 1 Cor 15:20-26). The end of history will see a great community of both Jews and Gentiles praising God for his mercy. Then all people will see and understand the great wisdom and love of God (Rom 11:33-36).

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:33–36: Paul praised God

In this section, Paul praised God for his wisdom, knowledge, judgment, thinking, greatness, and power. He ended with acknowledging God’s glory.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

Doxology (NIV)

Words of praise to God

11:36a

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.

For everything is from him and remains through him and goes to him.
For he made/created all things and he takes care of all things and all things are for him.

For: This word introduces a reasonMorris (page 429). or support for what Paul said in 11:33–35.

from Him and through Him and to Him are all things: In the Greek, the phrase all things is the subject of this clause. The phrase from Him and through Him and to Him is what is said about that subject. For example:

Everything is from him and by him and for him (GW)

all things come from him and exist through him and go to him

There is no verb in the Greek. The BSB and many other English versions add the verb are. See the above examples.

from Him: This phrase indicates that God is the source of all things. He created everything.

through Him: This phrase indicates that God is the one who causes everything to continue to exist.

to Him: This phrase indicates that God will cause everything to achieve its proper goal, God himself.

11:36b

To Him be the glory forever! Amen.

To him should go glory for all time! Amen.
May glory belong to him eternally! It is true.

To Him be the glory: The Greek words are literally “to him glory.” There is no verb in the Greek. The BSB and many other English versions add the verb be. This phrase indicates that Paul declared that God should have glory. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

may there be glory to him

glory should go to him

may glory belong to him

glory: The word glory refers literally to a very bright light. In this context it implies power, majesty, and greatness. Here are other ways to translate this word:

splendor

radiance

greatness

See how you translated this word in 1:23 or 9:23.

Amen: The word Amen is a Hebrew word that means “even so” or “it is true.” The Greek borrowed the Hebrew word. English borrowed this word as well. It is used to agree with what was said. Paul wrote this expecting his readers to agree as well.

In some languages people are not familiar with this word. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

Translate the meaning. For example:
It is so.
True!
Borrow this word and spell it as people in your language would say it. You may then want to explain its meaning in a footnote. Here is an example footnote:
The word “amen” means “even so” or “it is true.
