Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in [his] goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off (11:22) And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again (11:23) For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural [branches], be grafted into their own olive tree? (11:24) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in (11:25) And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: (11:26) For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins (11:27) As concerning the gospel, [they are] enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are] beloved for the fathers' sakes (11:28) For the gifts and calling of God [are] without repentance (11:29) For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: (11:30) Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy (11:31) For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all (11:32) O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable [are] his judgments, and his ways past finding out! (11:33) For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? (11:34) Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? (11:35) For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen
(11:36)
