Commentary
Commentary on Romans 11:31
Theological / DevotionalEven so have these. Paul is now speaking of the Jews. By their disobedience they have placed themselves on the same footing as the Gentiles.
Through your mercy. The Jews forfeited all the privileges of the covenant relation and can be received back into this relationship only in the same way as the Gentiles have been received. Some commentators regard this as an additional reference to the provoking of Israel to a godly jealousy by the sight of the Gentiles’ enjoying the mercy and blessing of God (v. 11). Thus God uses the disobedience of the Jews as an occasion for bringing mercy to the Gentiles (Acts 13:46). Then in turn He uses the revelation of His mercy upon the Gentiles to bring mercy again upon the Jews.
