Romans 11:26-36

26In this way Israel as a whole will be saved, as Scripture says, “The Savior will come from Zion. He will remove godlessness from Jacob.

27My promise  to them will be fulfilled when I take away their sins.”

28The Good News made the Jewish people enemies because of you. But by God’s choice they are loved because of their ancestors.

29God never changes his mind when he gives gifts or when he calls someone.

30In the past, you disobeyed God. But now God has been merciful to you because of the disobedience of the Jewish people.

31In the same way, the Jewish people have also disobeyed so that God may be merciful to them as he was to you.

32God has placed all people into the prison of their own disobedience so that he could be merciful to all people.

33God’s riches, wisdom, and knowledge are so deep that it is impossible to explain his decisions or to understand his ways.

34“Who knows how the Lord thinks? Who can become his adviser?”

35Who gave the Lord something which the Lord must pay back?

36Everything is from him and by him and for him. Glory belongs to him forever! Amen!
