New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
25 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters, so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.
25
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,
26 And so all Israel will be saved. As the Scriptures say, “The one who rescues will come from Jerusalem, and he will turn Israel away from ungodliness.
26
and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is my covenant with them, that I will take away their sins.”
27
And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
28 Many of the people of Israel are now enemies of the Good News, and this benefits you Gentiles. Yet they are still the people he loves because he chose their ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
28
As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,
29 For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn.
29
for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable.
30 Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.
30
Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience,
31 Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy.
31
so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you.
32 For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
32
For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
33 Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
33
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 For who can know the LORD ’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice?
34
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”
35 And who has given him so much that he needs to pay it back?
35
“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?”
36 For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
36
For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.
