Romans 11:25-32

The Remnant, the Grafted Gentiles, and the Mercy of God Toward Israel

Paul moves from denying that God has rejected Israel, to proving remnant grace through Elijah, to explaining Israel's hardening, to showing Gentile salvation through Israel's stumbling, to warning Gentiles against arrogance, to revealing the mystery of partial hardening and future Israelite salvation, to declaring God's irrevocable calling, universal mercy, and unsearchable wisdom.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

25I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

26And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.

27And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”

28Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.

29For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.

30Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,

31so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.

32For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone.
