Romans 11:25-32
Wycliffe Bible
25 But, brethren, I will not that ye not know this mystery, that ye be not wise to yourselves; for blindness hath fallen a part in Israel, till that the plenty of heathen men entered, [Forsooth, brethren, I will not that ye unknow this mystery, that ye be not wise to yourselves; for blindness hath felled of part in Israel, till the plenty of heathen men entered,]
26 and so all Israel should be made safe. As it is written, He shall come of Sion, that shall deliver, and turn away the wickedness of Jacob [and turn away the unpiety of Jacob].
27 And this testament to them of me, when I shall do away their sins.
28 After the gospel they be enemies for you, but they be most dear-worthy by the election [after the election] for the fathers.
29 And the gifts and the calling of God be without repenting. [Soothly the gifts and calling of God be without repenting.]
30 And as sometime also ye believed not to God, but now ye have gotten mercy for the unbelief of them;
31 so and these now believed not into your mercy [so and these now believed not to your mercy], that also they get mercy.
32 For God closed all things together in unbelief [Forsooth God closed together all things in unbelief], that he have mercy on all.

Romans 11:25-32
New Matthew Bible
25 I would not that this mystery be hid from you my brethren (lest you be wise in your own estimations), that with respect to a part, blindness is upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in; 26 and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: There will come out of Zion he who does deliver, and who will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. 27 And: This is my covenant to them, when I take away their sins. 28 Concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes; but as for the chosen ones, these are loved for the fathers’ sakes. 29 For indeed, the gifts and calling of God are such that he cannot change his mind about them.
30 For look, just as you in time past did not believe God, and yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief, 31 in the same way now they have not believed the mercy that has come to you so that they also may obtain mercy. 32 God has wrapped all nations in unbelief in order that he may have mercy on all.

1599 Geneva Bible
25 [a]For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this secret (lest ye should be arrogant in [b]yourselves) that partly obstinacy is come to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be [c]come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved, as it is written, (A)The deliverer shall come out of Zion, and shall turn away the ungodliness from Jacob.
27 And this is my covenant to them, (B)When I shall take away their sins.
28 [d]As concerning the [e]Gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the [f]election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.
29 [g]For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 [h]For even as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so now have they not believed by the mercy showed unto you, that they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath shut up [i]all in unbelief, that he might have mercy on all.

- Romans 11:25 The blindness of the Jews is neither so universal that the Lord hath no elect in that nation, neither shall it be continual: for there shall be a time wherein they also (as the Prophets have forewarned) shall effectually embrace that which they do now so stubbornly for the most part reject and refuse.
- Romans 11:25 That ye be not proud within yourselves.
- Romans 11:25 Into the Church.
- Romans 11:28 Again, that he may join the Jews and Gentiles together as it were in one body, and especially may teach what duty the Gentiles owe to the Jews, he beateth this into their heads, that the nation of the Jews is not utterly cast off without hope of recovery.
- Romans 11:28 Forasmuch as they received it not.
- Romans 11:28 In that, that God respecteth not what they deserve, but what he promised to Abraham.
- Romans 11:29 The reason or proof: because the covenant made with that nation of life everlasting, cannot be frustrate and vain.
- Romans 11:30 Another reason, because that although that they which are hardened, are worthily punished, yet hath not this stubbornness of the Jews so come to pass properly for an hatred to that nation, but that an entry might as it were be opened to bring in the Gentiles, and afterward the Jews being inflamed with emulation of this mercy which is showed to the Gentiles, might themselves also be partakers of the same benefit, and so it might appear that both Jews and Gentiles are saved, only by the free mercy and grace of God, which could not have been so manifest, if at the beginning, God had brought all together into the Church, or if he had saved the nation of the Jews without this interruption.
- Romans 11:32 Both Jews and Gentiles.

Authorized (King James) Version
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 fathers’ 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.
