25 For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers,[a] of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in, 26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written,

“There will come out of Zion the Deliverer,
    and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 This is my covenant with them,
    when I will take away their sins.”Isaiah 59:20-21; 27:9; Jeremiah 31:33-34

28 Concerning the Good News, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sake. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy. 32 For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

25 I don’t want you to be ignorant(A) of this mystery,(B) brothers and sisters, so that you will not be conceited:(C) A partial hardening has come upon Israel(D) until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.(E) 26 And in this way all[a] Israel will be saved, as it is written,

when I take away their sins.[c](G)

28 Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage,(H) but regarding election, they are loved because of the patriarchs,(I) 29 since God’s gracious gifts and calling(J) are irrevocable.[d](K) 30 As you once disobeyed God but now have received mercy through their disobedience, 31 so they too have now disobeyed, resulting in mercy to you, so that they also may now[e] receive mercy. 32 For God has imprisoned all in disobedience(L) so that he may have mercy on all.
