For ^(C1)I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this ^(C2)mystery—so that you will not be ^(C3)wise in your own estimation—that a partial ^(C4)hardening has happened to Israel until the ^(C5)fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written: "^(C1)THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

"^(C1)THIS IS ^(F1)MY COVENANT WITH THEM, ^(C2)WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."

In relation to the gospel they are ^(C1)enemies on your account, but in relation to God's choice they are beloved ^(C2)on account of the fathers;

for the gifts and the ^(C1)calling of God ^(C2)are irrevocable.

For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.

For ^(C1)God has shut up all in disobedience, so that He may show mercy to all.

Oh, the depth of ^(C1)the riches, ^(F1)both of the ^(C2)wisdom and knowledge of God! ^(C3)How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

For ^(C1)WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?

Or ^(C1)WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM, ^(F1)THAT IT WOULD BE PAID BACK TO HIM?

For ^(C1)from Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things. ^(C2)To Him be the glory ^(F1)forever. Amen.
