36;
36 For from Him and through Him
and for Him are all things. To Him be the Glory forever! Amen. (9)

35 “Who
has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” (8)
138
26 and
in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The
deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. (8)
27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
27 And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
28 As far as the
gospel is concerned, they
are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on
account of the patriarchs,
147
17 If
some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot,
have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from
the olive root,
(8)
18 do not consider yourself to be
superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You
do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be
grafted in.”
147
8 as
it is written: “God gave them a
spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.” (8)
9 And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them.
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
10 May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”

32 For
God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them
all.
Doxology
33 Oh, the depth of
the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable
his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the Mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
34 “Who has known the Mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
147
23 And
if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to
graft them in again. (5)
24 After all, if you
were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature
were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these,
the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
All Israel Will Be
Saved
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this Mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a
hardening in part until the full
number of the Gentiles
has come in,
147
14 in
the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. (5)
15 For if their rejection brought
reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the
dead?
16 If the part of the dough
offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is
holy, so are the branches.
147
5 So
too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen
by Grace. (5)
6 And if by Grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, Grace would no longer be Grace.
7 What then? What the
people of Israel sought so earnestly they did not obtain. The elect among them did, but
the others were hardened,
147
29 for
God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
(2)
30 Just as you who
were at one time disobedient 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 receive Mercy as a result
of God’s Mercy to you.
147
20 Granted.
But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be
arrogant, but tremble.
(2)
21 For if God did not
spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness
and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell,
but kindness to you, provided that you continue in His kindness. Otherwise, you also will be
cut off.

Ingrafted Branches
11 Again
I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because
of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious.
(2)
12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater
riches will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles.
Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry
147
The Remnant of
Israel
11 I ask then: Did God reject His people? By
no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of
Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God
did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Don’t you know what Scripture says
in the passage about Elijah—how he appealed to God against Israel: (2)
3 “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn
down Your altars; I am the only one left, and they are trying to kill me”?
4 And
what was God’s answer to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
