(22)Behold therefore the kindness and severity of God: to those indeed who fell, severity; but unto thee, kindness, if thou continuest in that kindness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (23)But they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. (24)For if thou hast been cut out of the naturally wild olive, and contrary to nature hast been grafted into the good olive: how much more shall these, which are native branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? (25)For I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is come on Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (26)And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, "The Deliverer shall go forth out of Sion, and shalt turn away ungodliness from Jacob; (27)and this is my covenant with them, When I shall take away their sins[78]." (28)As concerning the gospel indeed, they are now enemies for your sakes: as concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake. (29)For unchangeable are the gifts and the calling of God. (30)For as ye also in times past did not believe in God, but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief: (31)so also these now have not believed in your mercy, that they also might obtain mercy. (32)For God hath shut up all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. (33)O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and how incomprehensible his ways! (34)For who hath known the mind of the Lord, or who hath been admitted his counsellor? (35)Or who hath first given unto him, and it shall be repaid him again? (36)Because by him, and through him, and for him, are all things, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. CHAP. XII.
