‏ Romans 11:32

 Hath shut up ( συνεκλεισεν ). First aorist active indicative of  συνκλειω, to shut together like a net (Lu 5:6). See Ga 3:22 for this word with  υπο αμαρτιαν (under sin). This is a resultant (effective) aorist because of the disbelief and disobedience of both Gentile (1:17-32) and Jew (2:1-3:20).

 All ( τους παντας ). "The all" (both Gentiles and Jews).

 That he might have mercy ( ινα--ελεηση ). Purpose with  ινα and aorist active subjunctive. No merit in anyone, but all of grace. "The all" again, who receive God's mercy, not that "all" men are saved.
