23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

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.

23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.(A) 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,(B) 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(C) of this mystery,(D) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:(E) Israel has experienced a hardening(F) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,(G) 26 and in this way[a] all Israel will be saved.(H) 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](I)

28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(J) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(K) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(L) are irrevocable.(M)
