29. For God does not change his mind about whom he chooses and blesses.
30. As for you Gentiles, you disobeyed God in the past; but now you have received God's mercy because the Jews were disobedient.
31. In the same way, because of the mercy that you have received, the Jews now disobey God, in order that they also may now receive God's mercy.
32. For God has made all people prisoners of disobedience, so that he might show mercy to them all.
33. How great are God's riches! How deep are his wisdom and knowledge! Who can explain his decisions? Who can understand his ways?
34. As the scripture says:“Who knows the mind of the Lord?Who is able to give him advice?
35. Who has ever given him anything,so that he had to pay it back?”
36. For all things were created by him, and all things exist through him and for him. To God be the glory for ever! Amen.
