Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:25–32: God will be merciful to Jews and Gentiles

In this section, Paul warned the Gentile believers in Rome to not think of themselves as better than the Jews who have not believed in Jesus. God has caused many Jews to not believe until the time the full number of Gentiles will believe. Then all Israel will be saved.

Many Jews have rejected the gospel of Jesus, but God still loves them because he chose them long ago. God will not change his mind about his promises to them and his calling of them.

Both Jew and Gentile are alike in that both have been disobedient and God will be merciful to both.

Here are other possible headings for this section:

God still has a plan for Israel (JBP)

All Israel Will Be Saved (NIV)

11:32a

For God has consigned everyone to disobedience

For God has enclosed/trapped all people in the habit of being disobedient,
For God has caused all people to disobey him,

For: Here this word introduces an explanation of 11:30–31.Cranfield (page 586).

God has consigned everyone to disobedience: The Greek word that the BSB translates as has consigned is literally “enclosed.” God caused all people to be trapped in the situation of being disobedient. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

God has caused all people to be trapped in disobedience

God has imprisoned all human beings in their own disobedience (NJB)

disobedience: Here this word probably implies not obeying what God says to do, as in 11:30. Some languages must say what or who people are disobeying. For example:

do not obey/follow GodYakan Back Translation on TW.

11:32b

so that He may have mercy on everyone.

in order that he could show mercy to all.
so that he may be merciful to them all.

so that: Here this word introduces the purpose for enclosing all people in disobedience.
