22 Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s akindness, bif you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also cwill be cut off.

23 And they also, aif they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

25 For aI do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this bmystery—so that you will not be cwise in your own estimation—that a partial dhardening has happened to Israel until the efullness of the Gentiles has come in;

26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,

“aThe Deliverer will come from Zion,

He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”

27 “aThis is 1My covenant with them,

bWhen I take away their sins.”

28 1From the standpoint of the gospel they are aenemies for your sake, but 2from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for bthe sake of the fathers;

29 for the gifts and the acalling of God bare irrevocable.

30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

31 so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.

32 For aGod has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

33 Oh, the depth of athe riches 1both of the bwisdom and knowledge of God! cHow unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

34 For awho has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?

35 Or awho has first given to Him 1that it might be paid back to him again?

36 For afrom Him and through Him and to Him are all things. bTo Him be the glory 1forever. Amen.
