Romans 11
11 Ref I say then, Did they stumble that they might fall? God forbid: but by their fall salvation `is come' unto the Gentiles, to provoke them to jealousy.
12 Ref Now if their fall, is the riches of the world, and their loss the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
13 Ref But I speak to you that are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I glorify my ministry;
14 Ref if by any means I may provoke to jealousy `them that are' my flesh, and may save some of them.
15 Ref For if the casting away of them `is' the reconciling of the world, what `shall' the receiving `of them be', but life from the dead?
16 Ref And if the firstfruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 Ref But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;
18 Ref glory not over the branches: but if thou gloriest, it is not thou that bearest the root, but the root thee.
19 Ref Thou wilt say then, Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.
20 Ref Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 Ref for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.
22 Ref Behold then the goodness and severity of God: toward them that fell, severity; but toward thee, God's goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23 Ref And they also, if they continue not in their unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Ref For if thou wast cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and wast grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, which are the natural `branches', be grafted into their own olive tree?
