25For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of this mystery, so that you may not be wise in your own sight: a partial hardening has come upon Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

26And in this way all Israel will be saved, just as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”

27And this will be my covenant with them, when I take away their sins.

28With respect to the gospel, they are enemies for your sake; but with respect to election, they are beloved because of the fathers.

29For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

30For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have received mercy because of their disobedience,

31So also these now have been disobedient, so that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy.

32For God has shut up all into disobedience, so that he may show mercy to all.
