11 ²⁵ For there is a deep truth here, my brothers, of which I want you to take account, so that you may not be complacent about your own discernment: this partial blindness has come upon Israel only until the Gentiles have been admitted in full strength; 11 ^{26 [ Is.59.20-21, Ps.14.7. ]} when that has happened, the whole of Israel will be saved, in agreement with the text of Scripture:

'From Zion shall come the Deliverer;
he shall remove wickedness from Jacob.
11 ^{27 [ Is.27.9, Jr.31.33. ]} And this is the covenant I will grant them,
when I take away their sins.' 11 ²⁸ In the spreading of the Gospel they are treated as God's enemies for your sake; but God's choice stands, and they are his friends for the sake of the patriarchs. 11 ²⁹ For the gracious gifts of God and his calling are irrevocable. 11 ³⁰ Just as formerly you were disobedient to God, but now have received mercy in the time of their disobedience, so now, 11 ³¹ when you receive mercy, they have proved disobedient, but only in order that they too may receive mercy. 11 ³² For in making all mankind prisoners to disobedience. God's purpose was to show mercy to all mankind.


11 ³³ O depth of wealth, wisdom, and knowledge in God! How unsearchable his judgements, how untraceable his ways!

11 ^{34 [ Is.40.13, Jb.15.8, Is.23.18. ]} Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who has been his counsellor? 11 ^{35 [ Jb.41.11. ]} Who has ever made a gift to him, to receive a gift in return?
11 ³⁶ Source, Guide, and Goal of all that is-to him be glory for ever! Amen.
