Romans 11:24–36

²⁴For if you were cut off from your native wild olive tree and against nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these—the natural branches—be grafted into their own olive tree?

²⁵I don’t want you to be ignorant^y of this mystery,^z brothers and sisters, so that you will not be conceited:^aa A partial hardening has come upon Israel^ab until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.^{ac 26}And in this way all^A Israel will be saved, as it is written,

The Deliverer will come from Zion;

he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.

²⁷And this will be my covenant with them^Bad

when I take away their sins.^Cae

²⁸Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage,^af but regarding election, they are loved because of the patriarchs,^{ag 29}since God’s gracious gifts and calling^ah are irrevocable.^{Dai 30}As you once disobeyed God but now have received mercy through their disobedience, ³¹so they too have now disobeyed, resulting in mercy to you, so that they also may now^E receive mercy. ³²For God has imprisoned all in disobedience^aj so that he may have mercy on all.

and to him are all things.^ap
