ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.
既是出於恩典,就不在乎行為;不然,恩典就不是恩典了。
11:7
ምንተእንከየኀሥሥእስራኤልዘዘንተኢያድምዐወኅሬሰአድምዐወእለሰተርፉዖሩ።
What then? That which Israel seeks for, that he didn’t obtain, but the chosen ones obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree,
若有幾根枝子被折下來,你這野橄欖得接在其中,一同得着橄欖根的肥汁,
11:18
ወኢትዘኀርላዕለአዕጹቅወእመሰተዝኅርከአኮአንተዘትጸውሮለሥርውአላሥርውይጸውረከለከ።
don’t boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you.
你就不可向舊枝子誇口;若是誇口,當知道不是你托着根,乃是根托着你。
11:19
ትብልኑተሰብሩእምአጹፁቂሃወአነኮንኩዐጽቀዘይትህየንቴሆሙ።
You will say then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.”
你若說,那枝子被折下來是特為叫我接上。
11:20
ርቱዕይሰበሩእስመኢአምኑወአንተሰቆምከእስመአመንከፍሩሀከንበርእንከወኢታዕቢርእሰከ።
True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don’t be conceited, but fear;
不錯!他們因為不信,所以被折下來;你因為信,所以立得住;你不可自高,反要懼怕。
11:21
ሶበለእልክቱእለፍጥረቶሙዘይትእሙንቱኢመሐኮሙእግዚአብሔርኪያከኑይምሕከከ።
for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.
See then the goodness and severity of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
