22Note then, that God acts kindly, but he also acts severely. He has acted severely toward the Jews who have stopped trusting in him. On the other hand, he acts kindly toward each of you non-Jews only if you continue to appreciate his acting kindly toward you. However, you will be rejected { he will reject you} if you do not keep trusting in him.
23And if the Jews believe in Christ LIT, God also will reunite them to himself as branches are grafted { as people graft branches} into a tree again, because God is able to do that.
24Each of you non-Jews who were previously separated from God has benefited from the ways in which God blessed the Jews MET. That is like taking branches that have been cut {that someone has cut} from a wild olive tree that just grew without being planted { someone planting it} and, contrary to what people usually do, grafting them into a cultivated olive tree. So God will much more readily receive back the Jews because they belonged to him before MET! That will be like the original branches that had been cut off being grafted {like grafting the original branches that someone cut off,} back into the olive tree to which they originally belonged!
25My non-Jewish fellow believers, I certainly want you to understand LIT this truth that God has now revealed about my fellow Jews who are refusing to believe. You should not proudly think that God now favors you more than the Jews (OR, that you understand God's further plans for the Jews). Many people of Israel will continue to be stubborn until all the non-Jews whom God has chosen have believed in Jesus.
26And then all HYP the people of Israel will be saved { God will save all HYP the people of Israel}. Then these words that are written {that a prophet wrote} in the Scriptures will ◄ become true/be fulfilled►: The one who sets his people free will originate from the place where God dwells (OR, from the Jews) MTY. Then he will remove the guilt of the Israelite people (OR, descendants of Jacob) MTY.
27And as God says, The contract that I will make with them is that I will forgive their sins.
28With regard to the Jews rejecting the good message about Christ, God treats them as enemies, which has benefited you non-Jews. But in regard to their being the people whom God chose, God still loves them because of what he promised their ancestors.
29He still loves them, because he never changed his mind about the privileges/blessings he gave to them and about his choosing them to be his people.
30You non-Jews once disobeyed God, but now he has acted mercifully towards you because the Jews disobeyed him.
