Romans 11:24–36

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

The Mystery of Israel’s Salvation

^25hLest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers:^{4 i}a partial hardening has come upon Israel, ^juntil the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. ²⁶And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

^k“The Deliverer will come ^lfrom Zion,

he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;

²⁷“and this will be my ^mcovenant with them

ⁿwhen I take away their sins.”

²⁸As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are ^obeloved for the sake of their forefathers. ²⁹For the gifts and ^pthe calling of God are irrevocable. ³⁰For just as ^qyou were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, ³¹so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now⁵ receive mercy. ³²For God ^rhas consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

³³Oh, the depth of the riches and ^swisdom and knowledge of God! ^tHow unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

³⁴“For ^uwho has known the mind of the Lord,

or ^vwho has been his counselor?”

³⁵“Or ^wwho has given a gift to him

that he might be repaid?”

³⁶For ^xfrom him and through him and to him are all things. ^yTo him be glory forever. Amen.
