Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's akindness, bif you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also cwill be cut off.And they also, aif they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.

But if some of the abranches were broken off, and byou, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that ait is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.aYou will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in."Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you astand by your faith. bDo not be conceited, but fear;for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either.

Inasmuch then as aI am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,if somehow I might amove to jealousy bmy fellow countrymen and csave some of them.For if their rejection is the areconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but blife from the dead?

"aLET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED TO SEE NOT, AND BEND THEIR BACKS FOREVER."aI say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? bMay it never be! But by their transgression csalvation has come to the Gentiles, to dmake them jealous.What then? What aIsrael is seeking, it has not obtained, but those who were chosen obtained it, and the rest were bhardened;just as it is written, "aGOD GAVE THEM A SPIRIT OF STUPOR, EYES TO SEE NOT AND EARS TO HEAR NOT, DOWN TO THIS VERY DAY."And David says, "aLET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM.

I say then, God has not arejected His people, has He? bMay it never be! For cI too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.God ahas not rejected His people whom He bforeknew. cOr do you not know what the Scripture says in the passage about Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?"Lord, aTHEY HAVE KILLED YOUR PROPHETS, THEY HAVE TORN DOWN YOUR ALTARS, AND I ALONE AM LEFT, AND THEY ARE SEEKING MY LIFE."But what is the divine response to him? "aI HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time aa remnant according to God's gracious choice.

Brethren, my heart's desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.For I testify about them that they have aa zeal for God, but not in accordance with knowledge.For not knowing about aGod's righteousness and bseeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

But I say, surely they have never heard, have they? Indeed they have; "aTHEIR VOICE HAS GONE OUT INTO ALL THE EARTH, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD."But I say, surely Israel did not know, did they? First Moses says, "aI WILL bMAKE YOU JEALOUS BY THAT WHICH IS NOT A NATION, BY A NATION WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WILL I ANGER YOU."And Isaiah is very bold and says, "aI WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."But as for Israel He says, "aALL THE DAY LONG I HAVE STRETCHED OUT MY HANDS TO A DISOBEDIENT AND OBSTINATE PEOPLE."

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "aFOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He ahardens whom He desires.aYou will say to me then, "bWhy does He still find fault? For cwho resists His will?"On the contrary, who are you, aO man, who banswers back to God? cThe thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it?Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much apatience vessels of wrath bprepared for destruction?And He did so to make known athe riches of His glory upon bvessels of mercy, which He cprepared beforehand for glory,even us, whom He also acalled, bnot from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.
