21 For if God spared not the young shoots according to nature, how will he either spare thee. 22 Behold then the goodness and severity of God: truly upon the fallen, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou continue in goodness: otherwise shalt thou also be cut off. 23 And they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if thou according to nature wert cut out of the wild olive tree, and against nature wert grafted into the cultivated olive tree: how much more these, according to nature, shall be grafted into their own olive tree. 25 For I will not ye should not know, brethren, this mystery, lest ye be wise with yourselves; for hardness from part has been to Israel, till the filling up of the nations come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as has been written, The Deliverer shall come out of Sion, and turn away profanation from Jacob. 27 And this the covenant to them with me, when I take away their sins. 28 Truly concerning the good news, enemies for you: and concerning the selection, beloved for the fathers. 29 For the favors and calling of God not causing repentance. 30 For as also ye, when ye were disobedient to God, but now ye have been commiserated by the unbelief of these: 31 So they now also were disobedient, by your mercy that they also be commiserated. 32 For God shut them all up together in unbelief, that he might commiserate all. 33 O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! His judgments how unsearchable, and his ways not traced out! 34 For who knew the mind of the Lord? or who was his counsel? 35 Or who first gave to him, and it shall be given back to him? 36 For of him, and by him, and to him, all things: to him the glory forever Amen.
