Romans 11:21-36 ▼

21 For, if God spared not the natural branches, neither will He spare you.

22 Behold, then, God's kindness and severity; toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise, you also shall 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 you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

25 For I do not wish you, brethren, to be ignorant of this mystery (lest ye be wise in your own conceits), that a hardening, in part, has befallen Israel, until the fulness of the gentiles come in;

26 and so all Israel shall be saved; even as it has been written, "There will come out of Zion the Deliverer; He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

27 and this is the covenant from Me to them, when I shall take away their sins."

28 As touching the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but as touching the election, they are beloved for the Father's sake;

29 for the gifts and calling of God are not repented of.

30 For as ye in times past disobeyed God, but just now obtained mercy by their disobedience;

31 even so did these now disobey, that by the mercy shown to you they also may obtain mercy.

32 For God shut up all unto disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past tracing out,

34 For who knew the mind of the Lord? Or who became His counsellor?

35 Or who first gave to Him, and it shall be given back to him again?

36 Because, of Him, and through Him, and for Him, are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
