Romans 11:22-29
English Standard Version
22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, (A)provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise (B)you too will be cut off. 23 And (C)even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
The Mystery of Israel's Salvation
25 (D)Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers:[a] (E)a partial hardening has come upon Israel, (F)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
(G)“The Deliverer will come (H)from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27 “and this will be my (I)covenant with them
(J)when I take away their sins.”
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are (K)beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and (L)the calling of God are irrevocable.

Romans 11:22-29
New International Version
22 Consider therefore the kindness(A) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(B) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(C) 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.(D) 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree,(E) how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
All Israel Will Be Saved
25 I do not want you to be ignorant(F) of this mystery,(G) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:(H) Israel has experienced a hardening(I) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,(J) 26 and in this way[a] all Israel will be saved.(K) As it is written:
“The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[b] my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”[c](L)
28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(M) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(N) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(O) are irrevocable.(P)
