Romans 11:28-30

Expanded Bible

²⁸ ·The Jews refuse to accept the Good News, so [^LWith regard to the Gospel,] they are God’s enemies. ·This has happened to help you who are not Jews [^L…for your sake; ^CIsrael’s rejection resulted in the proclamation of the Good News to the Gentiles; vv. 11, 12]. But ·the Jews are still God’s chosen people, and he loves them very much [^Lwith regard to election, they are beloved] because of ·the promises he made to their ancestors [^Lthe ancestors/fathers/patriarchs]. ²⁹ ·God never changes his mind about the people he calls and the things he gives them [^LFor God’s gifts and calling are irrevocable]. ³⁰ [^LFor] At one time you refused to obey God. But now you have received mercy, because those people refused to obey.
