Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Romans 11:11

_ _ I say then, Have they stumbled — “Did they stumble”

_ _ that they should fall? God forbid; but — the supplement “rather” is better omitted.

_ _ through their fall — literally, “trespass,” but here best rendered “false step” [De Wette]; not “fall,” as in our version.

_ _ salvation is come to the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy — Here, as also in Romans 10:19 (quoted from Deuteronomy 32:21), we see that emulation is a legitimate stimulus to what is good.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Romans 11:1-32.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Romans 11:11

Have they stumbled so as to fall — Totally and finally? No But by their fall — Or slip: it is a very soft word in the original. Salvation is come to the gentiles — See an instance of this, Acts 13:46. To provoke them — The Jews themselves, to jealousy.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Romans 11:11

(7) I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but [rather] through their fall salvation [is come] unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

(7) God appointed this casting off of the Jews, that it might be an occasion to call the Gentiles: and again might turn this calling of the Gentiles, to be an occasion to restore the Jews, that is, that they being inflamed and provoked by jealousy of the Gentiles, then might themselves at length embrace the Gospel. And by this we may learn that the severity of God serves for the setting forth of his glory as well as his mercy does, and also that God prepares himself a way to show mercy by his severity: so that we ought not rashly to despair of any man, nor proudly triumph over other men, but rather provoke them to a holy jealousy, that God may be glorified in them also.
