Romans 11:20-32

20Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you 1stand by your faith. 2Do not be conceited, but fear; 21for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. 22See then the kindness and severity of God: to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s 3kindness, 4if you continue in His kindness; for otherwise you too 5will be cut off. 23And they also, 6if 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 contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

25For 7I do not want you, brothers and sisters, to be uninformed of this 8mystery--so that you will not be 9wise in your own estimation--that a partial 10hardening has happened to Israel until the 11fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written: “12The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”27“13This is 14My covenant with them, 15When I take away their sins.” 28In relation to the gospel they are 16enemies on your account, but in relation to God’s choice they are beloved 17on account of the fathers; 29for the gifts and the 18calling of God 19are irrevocable. 30For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, 31so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. 32For 20God has shut up all in disobedience, so that He may show mercy to all.
