(30, 31) Have not believed . . . unbelief . . . not believed . . .--Rather, disobeyed . . . disobedience . . . disobeyed.

Verses 30, 31. - For as ye in times past believed not God (so, except that the aorist ἠπειθήσατε' is translated "have not believed," in the Authorized Version: but with an alternative in the margin of "obeyed" for "believed." The substantive ἀπειθεία, which follows twice, should be translated "disobedience" rather than "unbelief," if ἠπειθήσατε is translated "disobeyed." Properly and usually ἀπειθεία conveys a different idea from ἀπιστια, denoting "disobedience" or "contumacy," and not merely want of faith. But it appears to be sometimes used in the sense of ἀπιστία. For instance, in John 3:36, ὁ ἀπειθῶν τῷ υἱῷ is opposed to τῶ πιστεύοντι εἰς τὸν υἱόν. Most modern commentators, with reason, understand "disobedience" here. The difference does not affect the drift of the argument),but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief (or, disobedience): even so have these also now not believed (or, obeyed), that through your mercy (i.e. the mercy shown to you) they also may obtain mercy. The position of ἵνα after τῷ ὑμετέρῳ ἐλέει has led commentators, ancient and modern, to connect τῷ ὑμετέρῳ ἐλέει with the preceding ἠπείθησαν, and to try to hit upon a meaning in this connection. But the sense of the passage, as well as the parallalism of the preceding clause, favours the connection of the Authorized Version, as given above. (For a similar position of ἵνα, cf. 2 Corinthians 12:7.)
