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.

Chapter 12
