t the whole church of Christ can ever fall from him; having been
secured by so many divine promises in holy writ; but that each one in
particular may fall; and therefore all in general are to be admonished
to beware of that, which may happen to any one in particular.

11:23. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be
grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

11:24. For if thou were cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural
to thee; and, contrary to nature, wert grafted into the good olive tree:
how much more shall they that are the natural branches be grafted into
their own olive tree?

11:25. For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery
(lest you should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part
has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come
in.

11:26. And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall
come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness
from Jacob.

11:27. And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their
sins.

11:28. As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake:
but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the
fathers.

11:29. For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance.

For the gifts and the calling of God are without... his repenting
himself of them; for the promises of God are unchangeable, nor can he
repent of conferring his gifts.

11:30. For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have
obtained mercy, through their unbelief:

11:31. So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they
also may obtain mercy.

11:32. For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on
all.

Concluded all in unbelief... He hath found all nations, both Jews and
Gentiles, in unbelief and sin; not by his causing, but by the abuse of
their own free will; so that their calling and election is purely owing
to his mercy.

11:33. O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of
God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable his
ways!

11:34. For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his
counsellor?

11:35. Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made him?

11:36. For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be
glory for ever. Amen.
