26 And so all Israel will be [a]saved, as it is written:

(A)“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
27 For (B)this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.”

28 Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are (C)beloved for the sake of the fathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are (D)irrevocable. 30 For as you (E)were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, 31 even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. 32 For God has [b]committed them (F)all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.

33 Oh, 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 has known the (G)mind of the Lord?
Or (H)who has become His counselor?”
35 “Or(I) who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?”

36 For (J)of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, (K)to whom be glory forever. Amen.

26 and in this way[a] all Israel will be saved.(A) 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](B)

28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(C) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(D) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(E) are irrevocable.(F) 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient(G) 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(H) so that he may have mercy on them all.
