Romans 11 is the eleventh chapter of the Epistle to the Romans in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It is authored by Paul the Apostle, while he was in Corinth in the mid-50s AD,[1] with the help of an amanuensis (secretary), Tertius, who adds his own greeting in Romans 16:22.[2]

This chapter concludes the section of the letter in which "St. Paul teaches us about the eternal providence of God"[3] with particular reference to the election of a chosen people, Israel (Romans 9:11),[4] who have become disobedient (Romans 11:31),[5] and in whose place a remnant have been chosen (Romans 11:5) [6] and grafted into place (Romans 11:17-24).
