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.
33. Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are his judgments and how unsearchable his ways!
34. “For who has known the mind of the Lordor who has been his counselor?”
35. “Or who has given him anythingthat he may be repaid?”
36. For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
