29Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.
30For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,
31So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.
32For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.
33O how deep is the wealth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! no one is able to make discovery of his decisions, and his ways may not be searched out.
34Who has knowledge of the mind of the Lord? or who has taken part in his purposes?
35Or who has first given to him, and it will be given back to him again?
