24. For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated one, how much more will they who belong to it by nature be grafted back into their own olive tree.
25. I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not become wise [in] your own estimation: a hardening has come upon Israel in part, until the full number of the Gentiles comes in,
26. and thus all Israel will be saved, as it is written:“The deliverer will come out of Zion,he will turn away godlessness from Jacob;
27. and this is my covenant with themwhen I take away their sins.”
28. In respect to the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but in respect to election, they are beloved because of the patriarchs.
29. For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
30. Just as you once disobeyed God but have now received mercy because of their disobedience,
31. so they have now disobeyed in order that, by virtue of the mercy shown to you, they too may [now] receive mercy.
32. For God delivered all to disobedience, that he might have mercy upon all.
