270 ROMANS 11: 11—36.

broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear', ^^for if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. ^^Behold therefore th'e goodness and severity of God : on them which fell, severity ; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness : otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. ^^And they also, if they abide not in unbelief, shall be graffed in : for God is able to graff them in again. ^"^Yox if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree : how much more shall these, which be the natural branches^ be graffed into their own olive tree. ^^For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits ; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. "^And so all Israel shall be saved : as it is written. There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. ^"P'or this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. "^As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes : but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. ^^For the gifts and calling of God are without repent- ance, sopoj ag yg jf^ times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: ^^even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. ^^For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 3^0 the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God ! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out ! 34For who hath known the mind of the Lord 1 or who hath been his counsellor 1 ^'"Ox who hath first given to him, and it shall be recom- pensed unto him again 1 ^'^For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things : to whom he glory for ever. Amen.
