Romans 11:28-12:2

English Standard Version

²⁸As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are ^(A)beloved for the sake of their forefathers. ²⁹For the gifts and ^(B)the calling of God are irrevocable. ³⁰For just as ^(C)you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, ³¹so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now^[a] receive mercy. ³²For God ^(D)has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.

³³Oh, the depth of the riches and ^(E)wisdom and knowledge of God! ^(F)How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!

³⁴“For ^(G)who has known the mind of the Lord,
or ^(H)who has been his counselor?”
³⁵“Or ^(I)who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”

³⁶For ^(J)from him and through him and to him are all things. ^(K)To him be glory forever. Amen.

A Living Sacrifice

12 ^(L)I appeal to you therefore, brothers,^[b] by the mercies of God, ^(M)to present your bodies ^(N)as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.^[c] ²^(O)Do not be conformed to this world,^[d] but be transformed by ^(P)the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may ^(Q)discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.^[e]
