Romans 11: 29- 36

11:29For the gifts and the call of God are without regret.
11:30And just as you also, in times past, did not believe in God, but now you have obtained mercy because of their unbelief,
11:31so also have these now not believed, for your mercy, so that they might obtain mercy also.
11:32For God has enclosed everyone in unbelief, so that he may have mercy on everyone.
11:33Oh, the depths of the richness of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable are his ways!
11:34For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?
11:35Or who first gave to him, so that repayment would be owed?
11:36For from him, and through him, and in him are all things. To him is glory, for all eternity. Amen.

Luke 14: 12- 14

14:12Then he also said to the one who had invited him: “When you prepare a lunch or dinner, do not choose to call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they might then invite you in return and repayment would made to you.
14:13But when you prepare a feast, call the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.
14:14And you will be blessed because they do not have a way to repay you. So then, your recompense will be in the resurrection of the just.”
