11:28. As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers. 11:29. For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance. For the gifts and the calling of God are without... his repenting himself of them; for the promises of God are unchangeable, nor can he repent of conferring his gifts. 11:30. For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief: 11:31. So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy. 11:32. For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. Concluded all in unbelief... He hath found all nations, both Jews and Gentiles, in unbelief and sin; not by his causing, but by the abuse of their own free will; so that their calling and election is purely owing to his mercy. 11:33. O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his ways! 11:34. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor? 11:35. Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him? 11:36. For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen.

For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith. 12:4.
