Context: Romans 11
25For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
29For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
About Romans 11: Israel's Rejection and the Gentiles' Acceptance
Paul teaches that the rejection of some of the Israelites does not mean that God has rejected them as a whole, and that Gentiles are included in the plan of salvation.
Commentary
Romans 11 is a chapter that speaks to the importance of God's faithfulness and His plan for the salvation of all mankind. Paul begins by reminding the readers of the importance of the Jews in God's plan of salvation. He explains that although the majority of the Jews have rejected Jesus as the Messiah, God has not abandoned them. He has kept a remnant of faithful Jews who will be saved. Paul then goes on to explain that the Gentiles have been grafted into the tree of salvation, and that they too will be saved if they remain faithful to God.
