19 Dices ergo: Fracti sunt rami ut ego inserar.

20 Bene: propter incredulitatem fracti sunt. Tu autem fide stas: noli altum sapere, sed time.

21 Si enim Deus naturalibus ramis non pepercit: ne forte nec tibi parcat.

22 Vide ergo bonitatem, et severitatem Dei: in eos quidem qui ceciderunt, severitatem: in te autem bonitatem Dei, si permanseris in bonitate, alioquin et tu excideris.

23 Sed et illi, si non permanserint in incredulitate, inserentur: potens est enim Deus iterum inserere illos.

24 Nam si tu ex naturali excisus es oleastro, et contra naturam insertus es in bonam olivam: quanto magis ii qui secundum naturam inserentur suae olivae?

25 Nolo enim vos ignorare, fratres, mysterium hoc (ut non sitis vobis ipsis sapientes), quia caecitas ex parte contigit in Israel, donec plenitudo gentium intraret,

26 et sic omnis Israel salvus fieret, sicut scriptum est: Veniet ex Sion, qui eripiat, et avertat impietatem a Jacob.

27 Et hoc illis a me testamentum: cum abstulero peccata eorum.

28 Secundum Evangelium quidem, inimici propter vos: secundum electionem autem, carissimi propter patres.

29 Sine poenitentia enim sunt dona et vocatio Dei.

30 Sicut enim aliquando et vos non credidistis Deo, nunc autem misericordiam consecuti estis propter incredulitatem illorum:

31 ita et isti nunc non crediderunt in vestram misericordiam: ut et ipsi misericordiam consequantur.

32 Conclusit enim Deus omnia in incredulitate, ut omnium misereatur.

33 O altitudo divitiarum sapientiae, et scientiae Dei: quam incomprehensibilia sunt judicia ejus, et investigabiles viae ejus!

34 Quis enim cognovit sensum Domini? aut quis consiliarius ejus fuit?

35 aut quis prior dedit illi, et retribuetur ei?

36 Quoniam ex ipso, et per ipsum, et in ipso sunt omnia: ipsi gloria in saecula. Amen.

19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.(A) Do not be arrogant,(B) but tremble.(C) 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

22 Consider therefore the kindness(D) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(E) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(F) 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.(G) 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,(H) 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(I) of this mystery,(J) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:(K) Israel has experienced a hardening(L) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,(M) 26 and in this way[a] all Israel will be saved.(N) 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](O)

28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(P) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(Q) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(R) are irrevocable.(S) 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient(T) 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(U) so that he may have mercy on them all.

Doxology

33 Oh, the depth of the riches(V) of the wisdom and[e] knowledge of God!(W)
    How unsearchable his judgments,
    and his paths beyond tracing out!(X)
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
    Or who has been his counselor?”[f](Y)
35 “Who has ever given to God,
    that God should repay them?”[g](Z)
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.(AA)
    To him be the glory forever! Amen.(AB)
