For your consideration: Romans 11:32
Poorly translated and interpreted NIV Study Bible for this scripture: "For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all."
Greater understanding by drilling deeper into the Greek: "For God has shut up (closed) ALL men into absence of persuasion/faith ("apeitheon" from apo-away from & pistos - His persuasion) that to ALL He may show pardon/pity/forgiveness/compassion/mercy.
First, the Greek word, "apeitheon", that the NIV translates as "disobedience" is incorrectly translated as "disobedience". It can be literally translated from the Greek as: "away from persuasion". In other words, God has "shut up" ALL men away from His persuading them into understanding/accepting Him - so that He can pardon ALL [at His appointed time].
The worship I offer is holding this pet, Beholding that flower, And dancing Your music in lonely lost hour. The worship I offer is standing alone And not taking comfort That others might own - From limited gods who don’t have a way Of saving all things That have stories to say. The worship I offer at end of my life May die with me silent In empty dark night. But the worship I offer Is so much a part Of the cloth of my soul, the width of my heart. June
