God will save the Jews

25 My Christian friends, I want to help you to understand about Israel's people. It is a secret that God has shown to us. If you really understand it, you will not be proud that you are so clever. Many of Israel's people have refused to believe in Christ. They will continue to refuse him until the complete number of Gentiles have believed. 26 When that has happened, God will save all Israel's people. This is written in the Bible:

‘The one who rescues will come from Zion.
He will turn Jacob's people away from their sins.[a]
27 And I will make this agreement with them.
I will forgive them for their sins.’[b]
