Soli Deo Gloria
Romans 11:33-36
I see a "loose" chiasmus in these verses, or at least a thematic trio of pairings.

I see a "loose" chiasmus in these verses, or at least a thematic trio of pairings. I see the wealth/riches of God connected to the repayment theme in v35; the wisdom paired with counsel; and the knowledge paired with the mind of the Lord. All 3 are answered the same: NO ONE can/has done these things! The reason is given in verse 36a: All things are FROM God; no one has anything to give, or get apart from Him! Therefore, all glory belongs to God! Let us worship God in holy reverence, and present our bodies (our very lives) as a living, ongoing sacrifice (not that Jesus' wasn't sufficient, but as a proper response), holy and acceptable to God. This is our spiritual worship and service. It's ALL from mercy and grace. Thanks be to God! Glory be to God - alone - through Jesus the Messiah, our Mediator, Advocate and Friend!
