    19You will say, Branches were broken off so that I might be put in.

    20Truly, because they had no faith they were broken off, and you have your place by reason of your faith. Do not be lifted up in pride, but have fear;

    21For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

    22See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

    23And they, if they do not go on without faith, will be united to the tree again, because God is able to put them in again.

    24For if you were cut out of a field olive-tree, and against the natural use were united to a good olive-tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be united again with the olive-tree which was theirs?

    25For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

    26And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

    27And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

    29Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

    30For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

    31So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

    32For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

    5Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

    6But it is not as if the word of God was without effect. For they are not all Israel, who are of Israel:

    7And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

    8That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.
