20 Rightly so: They were broken off by unbelief, but you have stood by faith. Do not be high-minded, but be afraid. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He will not spare you. 22 Behold, therefore, the kindness and severity of God: severity indeed upon those having fallen, but kindness of God upon you, if you continue in the kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And even those, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off out of the naturally wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural, be grafted into their own olive tree! 25 For I do not want you? to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you? may not be wise in yourselves: A hardening in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles may come in. 26 And thus all Israel will be saved, as it has been written: “The Delivering One will come out of Zion; He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. 27 And this is the covenant from Me to them, when I may take away their sins.” 28 For regarding the gospel, they are enemies on account of you?; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers. 29 For the gracious gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For as you? once disobeyed God, but now received mercy by the disobedience of these, 31 so these also now disobeyed so that through your? mercy they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God closed up all in disobedience so that He may have mercy on all. 33 O, the depth of riches, both of wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways! 34 “For who knew the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?” 35 Or “who first gave to Him, and it will be given back to him?” 36 For from Him and through Him and unto Him are all things. To Him be the glory to the ages! Amen. Romans 11:20-36, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
