Romans 11:25-32

25I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.

26And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say, “The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.

27And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”

28Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

29For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.

30Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.

31Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy.

32For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
