Romans 11:29-32
Revised Standard Version
29 For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. 30 Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may[a] receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.
