24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
25 For I don't desire, brothers,{The word for 'brothers' here and where context allows may also be correctly translated 'brothers and sisters' or 'siblings.'} to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,
26 and so all Israel will be saved. Even as it is written, 'There will come out of Zion the Deliverer, And he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
27 This is my covenant to them, When I will take away their sins.'
28 Concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But concerning the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sake.
