21 For if God {Theos} did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not (He will perhaps not) spare you either. 22 Take notice (behold), therefore, of the kindness and severity of God {Theou}: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God {Theos} is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree! 25 I do not want you⁺ to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers (and sisters), so that you⁺ will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel (He wrestles with God), until the full number of the Gentiles {ethnōn} has come in. 26 And so all Israel (He wrestles with God) will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob (he grasps the heel). 27 And this is My covenant {diathēkē} with them when I take away their sins 28 Regarding the gospel (good news), they are enemies on your⁺ account; but regarding election, they are loved {agapētoi} on account of the patriarchs {pateras}. 29 For God’s {Theou} gifts and His call are irrevocable. 30 Just as you⁺ who formerly disobeyed God {Theō} have now received mercy through their disobedience, 31 so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you⁺ [may receive mercy through your mercy]. 32 For God {Theos} has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone. 33 O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God {Theou}! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways! 34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord {Kyriou}? Or who has been His counselor 35 “Who has first given to God, that God should repay him 36 For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory {doxa} forever \to the ages/!
