30. Once, you Gentiles were rebels against God, but when the people of Israel rebelled against him, God was merciful to you instead.
31. Now they are the rebels, and God’s mercy has come to you so that they, too, will share in God’s mercy.
32. For God has imprisoned everyone in disobedience so he could have mercy on everyone.
33. Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
34. For who can know the lord’s thoughts?Who knows enough to give him advice?
35. And who has given him so muchthat he needs to pay it back?
36. For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
