23 And they also, (A)if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

25 For (B)I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this (C)mystery—so that you will not be (D)wise in your own estimation—that a partial (E)hardening has happened to Israel until the (F)fullness of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,

(G)The Deliverer will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.”
27 (H)This is [a]My covenant with them,
(I)When I take away their sins.”

28 [b]From the standpoint of the gospel they are (J)enemies for your sake, but [c]from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for (K)the sake of the fathers; 29 for the gifts and the (L)calling of God (M)are irrevocable. 30 For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy. 32 For (N)God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.
