For I wish not, ye should be ignorant, brethren, of this sacred secret, lest within yourselves ye be presumptuous, that, a hardening in part, hath befallen Israel, until, the full measure of the nations, shall come in;

For God hath shut up all together, in a refusal to yield, in order that, upon all, he may bestow mercy.
