Romans 11:21-29
21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s 1kindness, 2if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also 3will be cut off. 23And they also, 4if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?
25For 5I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this 6mystery--so that you will not be 7wise in your own estimation--that a partial 8hardening has happened to Israel until the 9fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, “10The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”27“11This is 12My covenant with them, 13When I take away their sins.” 2814From the standpoint of the gospel they are 15enemies for your sake, but 16from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for 17the sake of the fathers; 29for the gifts and the 18calling of God 19are irrevocable.
