much more shall these, which are native branches, be grafted into their own olive tree? (25)For I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is come on Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. (26)And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, "The Deliverer shall go forth out of Sion, and shalt turn away ungodliness from Jacob; (27)and this is my covenant with them, When I shall take away their sins[78]." (28)As concerning the gospel indeed, they are now enemies for your sakes: as concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake. (29)For unchangeable are the gifts and the calling of God. (30)For as ye also in times past did not believe in God, but now have obtained mercy through their unbelief: (31)so also these now have not believed in your mercy, that they also might obtain mercy.

(3)For, I say, by the grace which is given unto me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself above what he ought to think; but to think soberly, as God has divided to every one the measure of faith. (4)For as we have in one body many members, but the members, though many, have not the same function, (5)so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one reciprocally members of each other. (6)Having then different gifts according to the grace which is given unto us, if it be prophecy, speak according to the analogy of faith; (7)or if the deacon's office, be active in the service; or he that teacheth, in teaching; (8)or he that exhorteth, in exhortation; he that distr
