25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

All Israel Will Be Saved

25 I do not want you to be ignorant(A) of this mystery,(B) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:(C) Israel has experienced a hardening(D) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,(E) 26 and in this way[a] all Israel will be saved.(F) 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](G)

28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(H) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(I) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(J) are irrevocable.(K) 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient(L) to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[d] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience(M) so that he may have mercy on them all.

Doxology

33 Oh, the depth of the riches(N) of the wisdom and[e] knowledge of God!(O)
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!(P)
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has been his counselor?”[f](Q)
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?”[g](R)
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.(S)
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.(T)

A Living Sacrifice

12 Therefore, I urge you,(U) brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,(V) holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform(W) to the pattern of this world,(X) but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.(Y) Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is(Z)—his good, pleasing(AA) and perfect will.

Humble Service in the Body of Christ

For by the grace given me(AB) I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,(AC) so in Christ we, though many, form one body,(AD) and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts,(AE) according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,(AF) then prophesy in accordance with your[h] faith;(AG) if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;(AH) if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;(AI) if it is giving, then give generously;(AJ) if it is to lead,[i] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.

Love in Action

Love must be sincere.(AK) Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.(AL) 10 Be devoted to one another in love.(AM) Honor one another above yourselves.(AN) 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,(AO) serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope,(AP) patient in affliction,(AQ) faithful in prayer.(AR) 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.(AS) Practice hospitality.(AT)
