Romans 11:33-36·~1 min
A Hymn of Praise
Paul marvels at the depth of God’s wisdom and knowledge, echoes scripture to affirm that no one has counseled God or given to him first, and confesses that everything is from, through, and for him — to whom belongs glory forever.
O33, the depth of the riches 34“Who has known the mind of the Lord? 35“Who has first given to God, 36For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.
Section summaryThe chapter ends in doxology. Paul marvels at the depth of God’s wisdom, knowledge, and judgments — unsearchable, untraceable — and concludes with the great all-inclusive line: from him, through him, and to him are all things.
Role in the chapterThis closing section turns the argument into worship. Paul does not end with conclusions; he ends on his knees.
